We are thrilled and excited to announce the call for registrations for our first webinar by Mirza Buljubašić, PhD who will hold a lecture “From Transition to Transformation – Intergenerational Shifts in Shaping the Balkans” on 7th of October at 18:00h.
You can register for the webinar here.
Take a look at what Mirza will talk to us about next week:
The Balkans continues to navigate a challenging transition, recovering from war crimes and the fall of communist regimes. This webinar will explore how young generations are taking an active role in breaking cycles of division and trauma, while shaping a new political and social reality.
We will discuss how the legacy of the past, including collective memory, transitional justice, and remnants of authoritarian regimes, still influences today’s youth. The focus will be on how young people are challenging ethnic divisions, fighting corruption, and dealing with economic instability. Additionally, we’ll explore how they are using digital platforms and activism to foster regional cooperation and demand greater accountability from institutions.
This session is designed for those who want to better understand how intergenerational legacies shape the Balkans today. Discover how young people can change the narrative and lead the region towards a better future, leaving behind division and stagnation.
Join us in this conversation about the role of youth in creating new perspectives for the Western Balkans, helping the region finally move from transition to true transformation!
