Mladiinfo – FEJS MK
Mladiinfo – FEJS MK as a local office group of European Youth Press promotes and mediates the communication between young people, students, professors, researchers, university officials, youth NGOs and all those involved in the educational process in Macedonia and the region.
Dedicated to the students, their problems and needs from the very beginning, Mladiinfo – FEJS MK undertook numerous activities tackling issues such as student standards, student rights, communication, media or journalism. These projects involve activities for promoting cooperation between universities on national and international level as well as providing support for various exchange activities and work experience possibilities for students. Moreover, Mladiinfo – FEJS MK through its activities was always aiming to offer a kind of a platform for students facilitating their efforts for exchanging ideas and experience.
This platform was made concrete with the establishment of www.mladiinfo.com – Your link to free education. This web portal aims at providing international audiences with information related to educational opportunities and the development of (youth) entrepreneurship. Containing publications related to educational information and lifelong-learning-conceptualized programs, as well as funding opportunities for individuals, organizations and institutions, the services provided are broad and offer an enormous spectrum of available opportunities which can be considered, approached and used for (self) development and capacity building.
The portal www.mladiinfo.com was founded in 2008. The idea for its creation occurred to young civil activists who had already experienced the virtues of transnational mobility and the advantages of international education – Mladiinfo came into existence as a solution for the problem of access to information. Gradually developing, the portal managed to fill the gaps and feed those who were continually seeking for new challenges and better opportunities.
Today www.mladiinfo.com has more than 90.000 visits per month with visitors from almost all countries in the world. Above 10.000 total visitors per month subscribe to a newsletter. An average of 10 universities/organizations per week contact us for content publishing.
Our social network pages on Facebook and Twitter include a total of around 15.000 fans and friends.
What started as a spark spread into a cross-border fire as www.mladiinfo.com became a reference portal that provides reliable information and interactively contributes to the transfer of knowledge. Furthermore with the establishment of an info center in Skopje and Mladiinfo daughter organizations in Slovakia, Czech Republic and Montenegro we gave Mladiinfo a face in Central- and Southeast-Europe.
