Applications are now open for the fourth edition of Stronger Students, FECH’s flagship advanced training programme for university students and emerging student leaders.
Taking place from 25–28 September 2026 in Veles, the training will bring together 20–25 students from universities across North Macedonia for an intensive, practice-oriented programme focused on advocacy, strategic communication, creative activism, community engagement, student rights, and democratic leadership.
Through interactive workshops, simulations, case studies, and group work, participants will learn how to identify problems affecting their universities and communities, communicate them effectively, mobilise others, and develop realistic strategies for change.
This year, participants will also work in teams to design small-scale, high-impact advocacy initiatives or creative actions addressing real problems. Selected initiatives will receive financial and mentoring support from FECH for implementation after the training.
The programme will be conducted primarily in English, with support in Macedonian and Albanian when needed. Accommodation, meals, and transportation are fully covered by FECH.
Application deadline: 14 September 2026
