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.

The 25th FEJS Annual Congress will be organized by FEJS Slovenia in 2010.
The Chairperson will be head of FEJS Slovenia Jaka Benedičič.
Topic: GLOBAL JOURNALISM.
The General Assembly also decided that FEJS should register as an NPO under the Belgian legislation. It gave all powers to do it during next year to the Supervisory Board. However, FEJSers decided to postpone the establishment of the FEJS Permanent Office until FEJS has registered and has enough financial input to do so. FEJS will stay in the office in Brussels together wit Europsean Youth Press if the Secretariat and Supervisory Board will agree upon the new offer from the EYP.
The Supervisory Board congratulates to all newly elected FEJSers. We wish you all the best and good luck with your new duties.
We also thank to FEJS Belgium who organized the General Assembly 2008!
