Bio
NEBOJSHA ILIJEVSKI
Working with Katarina was an absolute delight! We teamed up on a regional prototype to empower hard-to-employ individuals, especially the youth, in the job market. And to put it briefly, she's the perfect combo of diligence and creativity. Katarina's proactive nature and open-mindedness took our collaboration to new heights. She not only followed guidelines but also pushed boundaries and brought in fresh perspectives. Her ability to adapt and learn on the go made my professional life a breeze while working with her, even if it was through Zoom rooms. I thoroughly enjoyed my time collaborating with Katarina, and I highly recommend seizing any opportunity to work with her. Her enthusiasm is infectious, her accountability on one side and openness to harness new ideas and co-create new possibilities on the other, would be a valuable contribution to any team!"

Y-E-N Vision 2020 : An inclusive society for young people. Youth Express Network considers inclusive society a society where young people, their needs and participation are recognized, valued and appreciated. When establishing the goals to our vision, we decided to work on 3 different levels that we identified in our strategy: young people with fewer opportunities, society and our network. We turned the 3 levels into 3 different goals, each of them having different objectives focusing on reaching the needs identified by our member organizations. Every goal has specific activities through which we will reach the goal and fulfill our vision. These activities will be regularly (at least yearly) updated by the Board and communicated with member organisations. Show less
