Seminar and theatre workshop “Play and Foster Youth for Tolerance and Understanding”

Belgrade, 14-19 January 2018

 

 

The Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia organized a seminar and theatre workshop for 20 high school students from Belgrade and Novi Pazar between 14th and 19th of January 2018, which was held at the Human Rights House in Belgrade. The seminar was organized within the project “Play and Foster Youth for Tolerance and Understanding” which aims to increase the knowledge of young people in the field of human rights protection and encourages them to engage in youth activism in the field of the suppression of violent extremism.

The lecturers and workshop leaders were experts in the field of political science, sociology, culture, the media, and representatives of the civil society sector. Srđan Barišić, a sociologist, who gave the lecture concerning „The notion of extremism, radicalization, fundamentalism; Interreligious dialogue versus clericalism”, spoke about the basic concepts of the topic and contributed to the overcoming of the terminological confusion that exists in this field. Pavel Domonji, a politicologist, spoke to the young participants about “Multiculturalism versus ethnic nationalism; Identity issue”. Jelena Visnjic, a politicologist, presented the theme “Feminism vs. Patriarchy; marriage, family, birth”. In the afternoon sessions, through conversations and plays with theatre director Zlatko Pakovic, the aforementioned issues were discussed from a different point of view.

During the seminar, a group visit to the institution of the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality was also organized, where we were greeted by Commissioner Brankica Jankovic and where the young could hear more about the work of this institution. After this visit, we also visited the OSCE Mission to Belgrade where the participants spoke with the representatives of this institution after being greeted by head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia Andrea Orizio.

After these events, young participants will transfer the acquired knowledge to their schoolmates. To encourage this process, five debates will be held in the student parliaments of secondary schools in Belgrade and Novi Pazar.

The project is being implemented with the support of the OSCE Mission to Serbia.
