Dear all, 

In the past three and a half years, I had the chance to become instantly involved in the work of JEF as a part of the activities of my section: firstly at local level, and then gradually on national level. I have been a coordinator of a local section, then became PR representative at national level and member of the national board, and currently I am Secretary General of JEF-Macedonia. Being an active member of JEF for over three years evolved in a motivation to commit at European level and contribute with my specific background, potential, skills and experience. Therefore I’ve decided to run for a Federal Committee member and become a part of its work in the next two years.  

JEF gave me opportunity to gain useful knowledge in the past couple of years. It is basically focused on training, organizational skills, team working skills, creativeness and promoting the political ideas and visions of the young people in Europe and in Macedonia. I’ve organized several seminars, many workshops, a lot of street actions and other activities in my country. I was one of the main organizers of the very successful street action “Visa-forget about it”. At the same time I became active at European level by participating in several international seminars and attending the FCs in the past two years. I have also cooperated and made friendships with a lot of JEFfers from other sections in Europe. The experience I achieved is a starting point that leads to a new level of my involvement in JEF. It is really important to ensure the upgrading of all the member parts of which JEF is consisted. The diversity and different backgrounds of the members are unique base which ensures the wide range of activities, discussion and cooperation we can put into practice. I would stress out that the small sections can be successful in the promoting of our common ideas and goals and be active in JEF as the big sections, and this is a great advantage of ours. I will also like to support the idea of enlargement of EU as one of the most important political goals of the citizens of the Balkan countries-Europe without borders.  

I’m very glad to contribute with my personal skills and energy for ensuring the prosperity of JEF on European level and focus on the cause of united and federal Europe. As a part of the WG Branding, I’m eager to contribute to the development of the ways to promote the federalism and our political goals. I am ready to help to achieve stronger and more efficient JEF at all levels.  JEF has always been an organization to which I am personally very much attached. Moreover, I can see myself involved in its work and activities in the next two years and I’m willing to dedicate my personal motivation and potential to the development of our political ideas, its implementation and promotion. 

Yours,

Maja
