Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia is inviting young artists as well as those who are interested in arts and activism to apply to participation in program «Serbia and Kosovo - Intercultural Icebreakers».

The program gathers 16 young people from Serbia and Kosovo who are active in the area of culture and art or have interested in this. Within the program they will attend two seminars. The first is the study visit that will last for nine days and during that period they will stay in Belgrade and Prishtina and visit Novi Sad and Prizren. During the second seminar that will last for five days, the group will develop an exhibition or the public event that will be organized in two cities. The type of the event will depend out of the profile of participants.

Helsinki Committee wants to contribute to renewal of earlier established relations by the cultural exchange, but also to creation of new networks of young people, academic and art groups, media and civil society of Serbia and Kosovo. The idea is to bring participants from Serbia and Kosovo to topics such as: human rights culture, inter / multiculturalism, conflict resolution through art and popular culture, art as a tool for social change, culture of resistance, etc.

Besides lectures about these topics, the participants will attend the workshops during which they will develop different activities or campaigns (such as short plays, films, exhibitions, and similar) with the goal of promotion of respect, understanding and tolerance. This way, the program affirms the young artists from both societies that will contribute the breaking of stereotypes and prejudices trough their joint work. They will also affect on spreading the good neighbor relations of Kosovo and Serbia.

During the study visit the participants will have an opportunity to visit different institutions and organizations in Belgrade, Pristina, Novi Sad and Prizren so they can meet with the existing programs in art and culture as well as some of the cooperation from the past. Also, they will visit different cultural events that will happen during the seminars.

The organizers will cover all costs of accommodation, food, travel, working material, and visits to cultural events for all participants of the seminar.
