IMPRESSIONS FROM FORMER ŠTUDETNSKA ARENAS
11th ŠTUDENTSKA ARENA: year 2010
“We at the Nova KBM bank participated in 2010 Študentska arena as the Arenino križišče (Arena Crossing) Sponsor for the third year in a row. Already from the first appearance of our bank at this fair, we saw in it a great opportunity to approach an important target group – the students – with our banking services. Študentska arena is an excellent opportunity to build a positive image of our company among the youth and to increase the sale of our services and our products in this target group. Our collaboration with the organizers has been nothing but excellent in these years, for they are very professional in what they do and they are always ready to listen to our wishes and needs. We are certainly going to participate in this fair again next year.”
Nina Malec, Nova KBM
“The Police have been participating in Študentska arena from its very beginning. The number of visitors at our exhibition space proves that the youth is interested in our content and that our presentations of different aspects of police work, equipment, working animals, and vehicles are dynamic enough to attract the attention of crowds of visitors. We were very pleasantly surprised by the Zlati ščit (Golden Shield) award we received for our excellent performance at Študentska arena in 2010. The visitors who voted for us were persuaded by the attractive activities, the arrangement of our exhibition space, and our approachable staff. But of course, none of it would be possible without the expert support and technical help from the organizers, for which we thank them very much.”
Marlena Martinec, Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Slovenia – Police
“The Študentska arena project is an opportunity for educational institutions from Slovenia and abroad (like ours) to actively, freshly and in a more genuine way present themselves to the colourful crowd of student faces, The great combination of creative and enthusiastic exhibitors and the fact that this is the most visited student fair in Slovenia can lead to a better recognition of an organization in a very short period of time.”
Maja Skalar, International People's College
10th ŠTUDENTSKA ARENA: year 2009
"Being the representatives of public employment services, we mostly focus on standard job fairs so Študentska arena is a welcome change. It is an opportunity to introduce ourselves to a population that may not be seeking our assistance just yet, but is definitely the target audience we wish to inform about our services. This is particularly important to EURES, an association that wishes to focus on the younger population and inform them about the possibilities of work related mobility in the European Union – something which Student Arena offers.”
"The project has undoubtedly flourished, so I wish to congratulate its persistent organizers. It appears that the young already see this event as means to meet, socialize, make friends and learn. Having seen the turnout, I assume the young visitors carefully read the event programme and then decide which themes suit them best.”
Lea Pisani, Kultura oblačenja, svetovanje in izobraževanje (The Culture of Dressing: Counselling and Education)
"I think Študentska arena is a wonderful event because students are given a great deal of useful information through interesting topics presented at lectures. At the same time, it is an engaging and fun experience where us, students, can have a good time even without large amounts of intoxicating substances.”
Iztok Zver, Društvo študentov psihoterapije Slovenije (Association of Psychotherapy Students of Slovenia)
9th ŠTUDENTSKA ARENA: year 2008
"We were really impressed by the vivid youth activities going on in this year's Študentska arena. We believe that the number of visitors proves that the fair managed to get deeply rooted into this autumn period among the young, who like to come to Študentska arena to seek information about the exhibitors, and look for floating balloons and candies at their exhibition stands as well."Vanda Lavrič, Zavarovalnica Triglav, d. d. (Slovenian Insurance Company)
"We believe that the project was very well accepted among the young who were searching the fair for information from various fields. This is possible because Študentska arena is the only such big educational youth fair in Slovenia that offers the young an opportunity to find just about everything they need, also many things they never thought they could. We attained our goal – we were satisfied with our presentation and with the large number of young visitors coming to our exhibition space. All credit goes to you, the project team, who managed to organize such a successful event. This was our first time participating in the Študentska arena, but we are pretty sure we will come again next year."
Nina Resnik, Agencija M servis, d.o.o.
"For many people this fair is the first contact with the employment possibilities in Slovenia and a shift in mentality of the future intellectuals and directors. As any an employment or career fair, Študentska arena is an opportunity for the secondary school students and (vocational) college or university students in search of job opportunities to get acquainted with the main actors in the field of education and employment. The fair was well organized and promoted and the targeted audience liked the visual identity of this year's Študentska arena."
Majda Hostnik, Zavod RS za zaposlovanje - Centralna služba (Employment Service of Slovenia, Central Service)
"Študentska arena is surely very well known among students as well as participating companies and organizations. It is important that it encourages the young to actively participate in this kind of events where they are not only entertained but also get up-to-date information about further education, employment, or take part in one of the educational events. Študentska arena is surely a very welcomed event not just for the students, but also for the companies which know that today's students could be their employees in the future."
Egon Ravbar, Zavod Mladi podjetnik (Young Entrepeneur Society)
8th ŠTUDENTSKA ARENa: year 2007
"You were an excellently organised team, available to each guest and participant, quick and efficient. As far as the even itself goes, it is great there exsists an event such as the Student Arena, one that covers all the different aspects of the student life. Our experience with the event is extremely positive and we look forward to work with you again also in the future."
Ines Markovčič, Mladina newspaper company
"The project of the Študentska arena is, at least in my opinion, a well established one. The high numbers of visitors and their active participation in the programme show the Študentska arena is truly a project you have to continue to work on also in the future."
Borut Pogačnik, graphologist
"For the student population, which is our biggest target group, the Študentska arena is one of the key events. That is why Študentska arena is also one of our key informational and promotional events, one that we regularly attend."
Neža Pajnič, The Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Programmes of Education and Qualifying (CMEPIUS)
"The project brings an important supplement to the field of youth policy and shows options to the young they might not have known about before visiting the Student Arena. Through the event, possibilities open up for them in the field of education, work, and other extracurricular activities. Maybe the project could be broadened with additional international activities.
The organizers, I think, are ready to listen to and help the exhibitors in the highest degree possible. Also the visit of our stand was satisfactory, as well as the feedback we received from the visitors on our activities. So far we have only had positive experience with the event and we are planning to participate in it also in the years to come."
Urban Krajcar, The European Commission Representation in Slovenia
"Consistency, kindness, and impeccable organisation from the beginning to the realisation in a package. This is hard to achieve in a project as big as this one. You have done it. As a lecturer I had a feeling everything is well taken care of. Also because of this, I have prepared my lecture especially well. "
Lea Pisani, Kultura oblačenja (Culture of Dressing)
"Professionally organised, well-marketed, attractive to young people, good infrastructure."
