About the presentation
Following a productive study visit to Cavriglia in September, the Bricks Made of Words caravan is making its way to Belgrade. The research trip to Belgrade’s focus is on memory and the connection between politics and cultural heritage. We’ll look at how recent heritage and history may become unsettling and undesirable and why it’s critical for building a sustainable future. Discussions regarding important topics including migration and human rights, civil rights and duties, participation, media freedom, and youth policies will be sparked by participants using creative techniques like virtual reality.
Youth from seven different nations in Europe will be able to develop critical thinking on sensitive issues that typically widen the divide between proponents of and opponents of the European Union by participating in workshops, interactive city tours, and discussions. The research trip to Belgrade will come to a close with a free public debate on the subject of youth and media, which intends to address a number of issues including combating fake news and youth participation in the media landscape.
The event in Belgrade, the second in a row, will be hosting young Europeans representing 7 different countries:
- From BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA (BRAVO BH): Mimes Patković, Amina Skejić, Suad Murselović and Almina Bajić
- From SERBIA (Nova Iskra) : Iva Kojić, Jovan Aksentijević, Miona Dimitrijević and Teodora Vidaković
- From BELGIUM (CONEXX-EU): Manon Quinet and Vincent Machado
- From PORTUGAL (ARCSS): Ana Azevedo, Diogo Carvalho, João Rodrigues and Diogo Silva
- From ITALY (ARCI Valdarno): Erika Alpini, Sofia Migliorucci, Teresa Bozza, Maria Elena Giorgetti and Sara Mori
- From Cyprus (CUT): Sophia Ballor, Gamela Elsayed, Elena Sammouta and Harry Charalambous
- From Romania (Ofensiva Tinerilor): Stefan Babutau, Marius Ceausescu, Ioana Harsoveanu, Costin Ostafe
Belgrade study tour is co-created with our partners: Faculty for Media and Communication and the Museum of Yugoslavia.
Bricks Made of Words aims to bridge the gap between young Europeans and the Union’s policymakers, by allowing a better understanding of Eurosceptics’ arguments as well as Euro-supporters’ triggers.
The project process aims to foster the civic engagement of European youth. The overall project idea is based on the concept that Euroscepticism can be considered as a challenge and a resource to detect possible solutions to the problems Europe is facing today and to set the bases of a new Europe, meant to be the Europe of all its Citizens.
What are key European values and policies and how citizens can make a difference are core questions that the project “Bricks Made of Words: building Europe again through dialogue” will try to answer through 6 events held in Italy, the Republic of Serbia, Romania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Belgium and Cyprus, where local citizens, policymakers, experts, facilitators, students will meet and discuss together to debate different point of views, find common grounds and design together new perspectives and policy proposals.
The project “Bricks Made of Words: building Europe again through dialogue” is co-founded by the Europe for Citizens Program, and implemented by: Arci Valdarno | Cavriglia Municipality | Ofensiva | NOVA ISKRA |BRAVO BIH | CONEXX-EU | ARCSS | AGENFAP | CUT.
