- About the Forum
The Student Forum 2026 marks the third edition of North Macedonia’s premier student-led initiative. Taking place in Skopje, the Forum will bring together students, youth activists, and changemakers from across the country and the Western Balkans.
Building on the momentum of previous editions, the 2026 Forum will focus not only on what is failing in higher education but on what can be built collectively. It is a space where students move beyond raising concerns to shaping concrete proposals and holding institutions accountable through organized action.
