As I reflect on my experience contributing to the Regional Fund Online Magazine, the first that comes to my mind is the sense of gratitude for the opportunity to share insights and perspectives on the YouthShare project addressing Youth Employment.
First and foremost, I want to express my deepest thanks to the entire editorial team and to our communication manager for entrusting me with the task of writing several articles on such an important topic. It has been an incredibly fulfilling journey to delve into the complexities of youth employment, explore innovative solutions, and shed light on success stories and challenges alike.
The Regional Fund Online Magazine has been more than just a platform for me; it has been a conduit for meaningful dialogue, a catalyst for change, and a source of inspiration. Collaborating with the talented individuals behind the scenes has been a true pleasure, and I am continually impressed by the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by everyone involved.
Moreover, seeing the impact of our collective efforts in raising awareness, fostering discussions, and driving positive action towards addressing youth unemployment has been immensely rewarding. It is a proof of the power of journalism to effect change and make a difference in the lives of individuals and communities.

“The challenges that contemporary society poses to organizations and projects seeking dissemination are numerous. The world of communication has become dynamic and although there are many opportunities, often the difficulty lies in finding and seizing them. The Regional Funds Online Mag positions itself right in the middle between projects, organizations and the society. The Regional Funds Online Mag organised and showed information where the results of the projects were explained to give the society new ideas and motivation. Society needs to know that they can count on people and online magazines that can support and help them in their process of growth. It is important to continue with effective communication activities to reach as many people as possible who could benefit from the Regional Funds, its material and tools.”

Started from the bottom, while trying to find a job and knowing that freedom of speech was getting more and more strict, I was not even thinking that I would be in a position to write about issues regarding youth (un)employment. Yet here I am, contributing to a magazine- a voice that provides a plethora of perspectives thereby broadening our knowledge. A voice that shares other people and project’s achievements and solutions on the pertaining issues mentioned. In other words, a versatile voice that includes everyone and more importantly gives the opportunity to make our voices be heard, regardless of our reputation!
It is great to finally see that there are many more people that share the same values as me and have the urge to express themselves and bring youth (and not only) (un)employment issues to the surface! It somehow gives me courage to keep on expressing myself and dare to talk and stimulate discussions on employment -and in my case youth (un) employment-. I would confidently say that it got me “out of the box” and gave me the feeling that my voice DOES MATTER!
For all these, I will be forever grateful for having the opportunity to be a part of this initiative, introduced through my journey with the YOUTHShare Project. I will always turn back to the magazine’s issues and have a glance on all these perspectives presented and all these wonderful goals archived! Afet all, it is important to look back on these collective efforts, and remember that our voices, no matter how humble, have the power to shape the future!!
So for one last time, I am expressing my gratitude to the Regional Funds Online Magazine once again, hoping that this legacy will still keep on going and develop to something grand and legen…wait for it… dary!
