Press Clipping

Eventhough JAS is relatively young organization it has had number of promotional activities which understood presentations on National and local TV and radio stations (TV Politika, radio B92, local TV in Kikinda, Niš, Leskovac, Vranje, etc); and articles in national and local papers (Politika, Blic, Nacional, and numerous local papers).
In order to promote the program in SE Serbia, in January 2004 JAS has organized Demo MESE competition for high school students. The event was organized in 4 towns of SE Serbia: Bor, Niš, Vranje and Leskovac. Around 400 students and their teachers from the region attended the events. It could be said that these demo competitions hit the target since they raised the attention among students and teachers, attracted the attention of local media and were attended by local Goverment officials and representatives of local companies.
In order to provide means for running the program, JAS has been active in animating bussines community and the donors. A result of this activity was: a USAID (CHF) grant for running the program in SE Serbia for three years; and donations from Kikinda and Zenjanin municipalities for running JA programs on regular basis, in these towns.

Having in mind the importance of support from business community for continuation of JA program in Serbia, several presentation have been made before the influential and successful companies: HP - Serbia, Zepter International, Pharmaceutical Corporation Hemofarm, Media House Politika, etc. Presentations were quite successful and they created very positive effect - we have got first contributions from business community; among most considerable is donation from HP - Serbia. In a coming school year we expect that these activities will have even greater impact, resulting in significant support of business community to JAS activities.
