On December 22, 2025, the “From Idea to Impact” Valorization Conference was held at the DoubleTree Hotel in Skopje, organized by the National Agency for European Educational Programs and Mobility. The conference brought together some of the most prominent projects and practices supported by Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps, focusing on their tangible impact in educational and social contexts.

The event opened with remarks by Ana Mihajlov, Director of the National Agency, and Elena Ivanovska, State Secretary at the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of North Macedonia. The program featured three thematic panel discussions dedicated to higher and vocational education, school education, and youth work.

A particularly significant moment for International Slavic University was the participation of Martina Jachevska, a student at the Faculty of Psychology. In her role as coordinator, she presented the eQuality Youth Work for All project, implemented in partnership with Mrezha MaMa and NAPOR, with support from the National Agency. The project focused on promoting equal access to youth work, with particular emphasis on young people from rural communities. The recognition awarded to the project by the National Agency strongly affirms the importance of an inclusive approach to youth work.

The conference brought together representatives of educational institutions, youth organizations, and professionals from various fields, creating opportunities for networking, exchanging experiences, and promoting best practices.

International Slavic University remains firmly committed to European educational values, the development of high-quality projects, and active participation in programs that support students’ personal and professional growth.
