In November 2008, FEJS-Macedonia launched the international web portal www.mladiinfo.com, Mladi Info is a new portal aiming in one place to group all studying possibilities, scholarships, grants, trainings and conferences, various calls, working and internship opportunities.

Mladi Info is an informative web portal, created for all ambitious young people that desire to continue their education and to improve themselves in different areas at the universities and institutions all around the world. The main reason for launching the web portal by the end of 2008 was mostly the lack of information focused on the young people in Macedonia.

The idea is to help young people to accomplish their goals as well as to complete their education. That would be a unique and useful media consisted of useful advices, tips and hints. Moreover, this is a place where people can post their adds, where students can find an available apartment to rent, or to buy a computer.

http://www.mladiinfo.com goal is to help and assist young people all around the World, which is why the portal is in English.

Please feel free to send them information on your activities, campaigns, events, projects etc. they will be happy to publish it.

Tell us what you think of this initiative!
