Greetings, reader of FOCUS magazine!
As our magazine is growing and cultivating it’ s style, we are looking to the development and future of FOCUS. Starting this project we made our vision clear: to supply the students of Aarhus University Herning and TEKO with current, relevant news and information from the local scene. Our mission has been to create a high quality and free issue available to anyone with interest to our institutions. Finally FOCUS is about getting you connected to the events and projects going on.
After only a few short months, we have grasped a unique and personal student magazine style, our volunteer count has grow. We’ ve networked and connected with many local organisations and companies, who now support and are part of our initiative. This was only possible through the massive commitment and enthusiasm of the people, who helped in creating and grinding the magazine towards our shared aspiration. So far the journey has been on winding roads ever reaching for higher plateaus.
However we’ re nearing the end of this study year, and sadly a lot of the team of FOCUS will not be available in the next semester. The full potential of FOCUS has not yet been reached, which is why we are working towards continuing this project with new staff. For this reason we have been working on creating a solid and structured foundation for FOCUS and its conditions, so that new volunteers will easily be able to continue this legacy.
This also means a call to arms for anyone with an interest in journalism and writing. Focus is not subject to anyone but the joint staff and the ideas of the students a part of the project. Meaning our initiative is also able to cover any topic, we choose to write about and any subject that we find interesting and relevant. The purpose is to inspire, provoke, engage and inform the more than 3000 students of AU-He and TEKO.
The endeavour is a simple one; sharing educational and cultural content with a fresh and fun spin. This is what we look for in the people, we incorporate and the stories we deliver to you. Our ambition for this magazine goes even beyond Herning and our ideas and dreams for the future are ones that we strive and fight for every day. FOCUS is about being an active participant in creating your own path in life, be it in creative writing or expanding minds.
Until next time, please enjoy this month’ s issue of FOCUS, the student magazine of AU-Herning and TEKO.
