Skopje, May 2026 – Students from the Social Work and Social Policy study program at the Faculty of Social Sciences of Mother Teresa University in Skopje conducted a study visit to the Ministry of Social Policy, Demography, and Youth, where they were welcomed by the State Secretary, Mr. Fatmir Sabriu, and the State Advisor, Ms. Drita Asllani.

During the visit, the students had the opportunity to gain firsthand insight into the functioning of social institutions, current social policies, challenges, and processes related to social protection, demography, and youth policies in the Republic of North Macedonia.

The visit was led by the professors: Assist. Prof. Elisabeta Bajrami Ollogu, Ph.D.; Assoc. Prof. Hava Rexhep, Ph.D.; and T.A. Erzana Maliqi, M.A., with the aim of strengthening the connection between academic theory and institutional practice.

We would like to thank the Ministry of Social Policy, Demography, and Youth for their hospitality and willingness to share experiences and knowledge with our students.
