FEJS Macedonia supported by the Central European Initiative (CEI) and European Youth Foundation (EYF) organizes “Virtually Active” – a training program on using new-media-content to establish online-active-citizenship. The training will take place from 18th - 23th July 2010 in Macedonia, reserving four working days for the program and two days for arrival and departure.

The primary aim is to educate young people and school graduates from CEE countries regarding today’s new media opportunities. The program’s goal is to present ideas and initiatives about how, with the use of new media and created media content, the youth employability can improve and increase.
