A skilled migrant shares how repeated company rejections made them feel like quitting life in Australia.

The episode begins with a promotional segment for the 'Work in Progress' podcast, which focuses on skilled migrants facing job rejections and career challenges in Australia. It then transitions to the SBS Macedonian program hosted by Denisa and Margarita Vasileva. A feature story highlights Kalina Dimovska's work at the Macedonian Orthodox Church, St. John the Baptist, in Geelong, where she has turned it into a cultural center fostering intergenerational and multi-ethnic connections. The news bulletin covers several topics: global criticism of Israel's decision to impose an automatic death penalty for Palestinians convicted in military trials, with reactions from UN officials and European leaders; an update on the Reserve Bank banning additional taxes for EFTPOS, Mastercard, and Visa transactions; and FIFA moving Iran's World Cup group phase to Mexico due to safety concerns. Another news segment discusses Australian government measures to restrict social media access for people under 16, including potential fines for companies. The episode then shifts to an interview with a community leader in Geelong, who discusses efforts to preserve Macedonian heritage through dance and cooking classes, addressing issues of language loss and isolation in mixed-marriage families. The interview details how the community rebuilt after COVID-19, with initiatives like 'dancing for fun and fitness' and Macedonian cooking classes inspiring similar efforts in other cities like Adelaide. A highlight is the description of a parade at Paco Festa, where 80 participants in traditional Macedonian costumes performed a dance to a new song by Nick Makedonis, winning an award for cultural creativity. The parade float visually represented five pillars of Macedonian identity, including language, faith, history, music, and community unity, with families spanning three generations participating. The episode wraps up with acknowledgments and thanks.
