Our organisation consists of 10 members and 30 volunteers and we have 10 interns who are young people and also 6 employees from which 3 are youth with disabilities. We have significant experience in informing and education of youth.

We have two websites through which young Montenegrin people are being informed on numerous seminars organized abroad and on actions carried out in our country – www.mladiinfo.me and www.mladiniksica.me. We are founders and members of Montenegrin Youth Forum - an umbrella youth organization, and also part of Network for education and development of social services for people with disabilities. We are member of Mladiinfo Network and observer member in European Youth Press.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Network isn't enough promoted in Montenegro and organisations aren't sure whom to contact and how to get information about it. We would work on promotion of the Network, its activities, values. We could also publish on our website www.mladiinfo.me different opportunities offered by Anna Lindh Foundation. 

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We have similar goals and interests as ALF Network and also same fields of work. Our target group are youth and we mainly work on their informing and education. We work a lot on youth mobility and we sent each year more than 30 youth abroad to spend time with other youth, learn, exchange, meet other cultures. We see this as creating more opportunities for youth from Montenegro. We would like to work more on networking inside the network, to get in touch with organisations members, collaborate on projects. Also we would like to get in touch with other networks, from other countries and establish cooperation.
