At OPTIMOD, we're extremely proud to announce our involvement in the Virtual Education Fair "Na koji ćeš faks?". This innovative project, powered by Friendly HR, is designed to provide high school and university students in Serbia and the broader region with easy access to academic and professional development opportunities.

Our goal with this collaboration is to extend the recognition of this fair to a Slovenian audience as well as to help with worldwide recognition. We are extremely honored to be a part of this story and to continue our efforts to inspire, support, and empower youth and emerging entrepreneurs.

About Virtual Education Fair

"Na koji ćeš faks?" offers a unique virtual experience where students can visit virtual university booths from the comfort of their homes. This 3D platform closely simulates a real fair visit, providing an interactive and immersive experience. The fair runs until June 30, 2024, but will resume in November 2024 giving students plenty of time to explore their options.

The Metaverse Platform

At the heart of the fair is the Metaverse platform, a revolutionary tool connecting universities, companies, and youth across the region. Participants can engage with exhibitors, explore academic programs, and discover career prospects with ease and convenience.

Meaningful Interactions

Featuring over 400 universities from Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Serbia, and various EU countries, the fair allows high school students and their parents to directly communicate with university representatives and get comprehensive information on study programs, admission requirements, and scholarships.

Support and Collaboration

Supported by Ministries of Education across the region and a network of media partners, the fair emphasizes meaningful communication between visitors and exhibitors through interactive experiences and thematic events. As it enters its fifth cycle, the fair remains dedicated to empowering youth, fostering dialogue, and shaping the future of education and careers in the region.

The Fair's Evolution

The Regional Virtual Education & Internship Fair began in 2020 as a response to the changing landscape of education and career exploration, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially promoted through social media posts, it quickly grew into a dynamic and innovative platform. By 2021, a cutting-edge 3D platform was integrated, revolutionizing how visitors explore educational and career pathways.

Success and growing interest led to regional expansion in 2022, making the fair a hub for knowledge exchange and networking across six Balkan countries. In 2023, the fair began welcoming companies alongside educational institutions, enriching its offerings and providing attendees with valuable insights into real-world career opportunities.

How to Get Involved

The fair's website is accessible to everyone from any computer or mobile device. It’s completely free and requires no registration, making it incredibly easy for anyone to join.
