Call for
Applications “Serbia
and Kosovo: Intercultural
Icebreakers”
October 23-31, 2017
Belgrade,
Novi Sad, Pristina and Prizren
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,
