Over-arching several religious and social organizations,a young generational unity started to come into existence. Before that, as a student, Mikó participated in the Unitarian organization Dávid Ferenc Egylet Ifjúsági Köre (Youth Association of Dávid Ferenc Society) than the Székelyek Kolozsvári Társasága (Székelys’ Society of Kolozsvár). The Erdélyi Fiatalok was founded on the basis of the Székelyek Kolozsvári Társasága, under the leadership of Béla Jancsó (1903–1967). As a member of the Erdélyi Fiatalok, Mikó undertook his first remarkable fi ght in student politics against Prime Minister Iorga, on behalf of the Kolozsvári Magyar Egyetemi Hallgatók Egyesülete (Hungarian Students Association of Kolozsvár). He directed the Bucharest bureau of Országos Magyar Párt (National Hungarian Party) for 10 months in 1932. Meanwhile he joined in the work of Koós Ferenc Kör (Ferenc Koós Circle). Mikó’s student political and journalistic activity evolved simultaneously with the start of his career and the publication of his book Az erdélyi falu és a nemzetiségi kérdés (The Transylvanian Village and Nationality Issues, 1932). His articles were published mostly in the Erdélyi Fiatalok and other movements’ reviews, the Unitarian church periodicals and daily press.
