Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft e.V. hat dies direkt geteilt
It was a real pleasure moderating this panel and also to participate in this highly interesting and timely conference - many thanks to Aspen Institute Germany for the great initiative. Regarding the youth and gender panel, one of my main takeaways was that besides all digital initiatives it is also important to continue working with good old fashioned exchange programmes. Making personal encounters and changes of context possible is crucial, experience is often as important as information.
On the third and final day, moderator Dr. Christian Hagemann, Executive Director, Südosteuropa-Gesellschaft e.V., and speakers Thomas Hacker, Member of Deutscher Bundestag, and Marko Milosavljević, Head of Research and Advocacy, Youth Initiative for Human Rights Serbia, discussed the gender gap and role of youth in reconciliation in the #WesternBalkans. The last session addressed the crucial components of education, history, and research. Speaker Bojana Dujkovic - Blagojevic, Educator and History-teaching Expert, and moderator Dr. Stormy-Annika Mildner, Executive Director, Aspen Institute Germany, examined the intersections of these elements and their impact on society. We then embarked on an exciting walking tour where we learned about the history of #Sarajevo and gained valuable insights into the work of our representatives. To conclude the evening, we enjoyed a wonderful farewell dinner at Nostra Cucina. Cheers to three exciting days, and a heartfelt thank you to all participants! #AspenWB We are thankful for the generous support of the Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany for this project and for the cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina for this conference.
