Youth Forum EYE is a dynamic organization of young people, who have ideas about improving multiethnic and open society in Republic of Macedonia. We also support international 'youth exchange' programs, which we believe will improve the integration with European values and European integration.
We aim to inspire and help positive social and economic changes, and we are dedicated toward efficient realization of those ideas.

Youth Forum EYE realizes its activities through several Programs:
-Civil society and democracy development Program,
-Multiethnic society building Program,
-Public administration and local government development Program,

The majority of the activities promoted by Youth Forum EYE refer to three main areas:
-The sphere of non-formal education for young people through inter-cultural learning, international youth mobility's activities and Human Rights Education.
-The sectors of youth exchanges and national European and international voluntary youth service; we are presently host and sending organisation in a multilateral third country EVS project.
-The development of consciousness of European citizenship and dimension through programs and projects developed for the empowerment of young people

Youth Forum EYE was formed in June 2001, but it has been working as a non-formal group for three years. It was founded by a group of individuals, many of whom study business, law, computer engineering…

During this time and even until today, Youth Forum EYE statutory goals have been followed with ever growing success. Although there is no maximum age limit to participate in Youth Forum EYE activities, we work mainly with young people, 16 to 28 years old. The majority of them are students.

The group that is creating this magazine is focusing its efforts towards promotion of journalism among youngsters. The main activity is publishing a monthly magazine called DoRight! Magazine that is completely done by high school students.

The main topic of this magazine are human rights but there are also other topics that are part of it and are interesting for the youngsters. The most important detail of the magazine is that it is trilingual and it is published in Macedonian, Albanian and English.

There are 2 constant volunteers that are editing the magazine and also organising the other aspects like translation, lecturing etc. The other members are mainly high school students but the "redaction" is open for every youngster that is interested.

The volunteer will be involved in organising the events during the preparation of the contents of the magazine like the phases of selection of topics and texts, organising the translation in to Macedonian, English and Albanian.

So far we have hosted an EVS volunteer. This boosted our popularity among the youngsters that are helping us to develop the magazine. Also the volunteer brought a lot of ideas and upgraded our working and organizational level.
