Since 2015, the Helsinki Committee for
Human Rights in Serbia has organized six seminars for young artists
from Serbia and Kosovo on the topic of interculturalism and socially
engaged art practices. Encouraged by the success of these seminars,
we are now preparing another study tour from October 23 - 31, 2017,
for 16 young people (8 from Kosovo and 8 from Serbia).
As in the past, we are targeting young
people from Serbia and Kosovo who are active and/or interested in
arts, culture and media to participate in this project. The seminar
will start in Belgrade featuring lectures, visits to cultural
institutions and public sites. On the 4th day of seminar,
participants will visit Novi Sad and its cultural and public
institutions. After returning to Belgrade, all participants will
travel together to Pristina, and continue the seminar in Kosovo.
There, participants will participate in lectures and workshops
provided by experts from Kosovo, and visit prominent educational and
cultural institutions in Pristina. On the 8th day participants will
visit Prizren, a historical town in southern Kosovo and meet
representatives of local media and culture organizations.
The main goal of the seminar is to give
the opportunity to participants to be hosts and visitors at the same
time, and possibility to present their culture and learn more about
the culture of their peers. Also, the seminar will benefit each
participant by giving them the opportunity to visit major cultural
institutions both in Serbia and Kosovo, to meet lecturers, artists
and human rights activists from both countries, and to spend an
exciting period of time together visiting institutions of mutual
interest and participating in workshops and lectures, which will
provide them enough time to get to know each other and provide the
platform for their joint projects in the future.
During the seminar, participants will
have the opportunity to work on creation of a joint cross boarder
artistic action, which will be implemented by the participants with
our financial support.
The organizers will cover all costs of
accommodation, food, travel, working material, and visits to
cultural events for all participants of the seminar. The sessions
will be held in Serbian, Albanian and English language while
translation to Albanian/Serbian language will be provided.
Participants are expected to:
Be active and/or interested in art
and culture (students and/or practitioners are welcome to apply),
Be highly motivated to learn more
about interculturalism, socially engaged art, media practices and
other similar topics,
Be highly motivated to learn more
about art and culture of Serbia/Kosovo,
Be highly motivated to create a plan
for joint cross boarder campaign, and to implement it after the
seminar with our financial support,
Be available to participate in the
seminar for the full period: October 23 – 31, 2017,
And to be between 18 and 30 years
