In Mostar from 4th to 7th July under the Balkan regional platform for youth participation and dialogue, two Youth correspondents from LDA Subotica participated in exchange activities and had the task of exploring the local cultural heritage and the current cultural scene which will ultimately result in video and textual reportages to be published in Youth Cultural E-Magazine, a new publication of the mentioned program.
During the visit to Mostar, Youth correspondents from Subotica had the opportunity to visit the Partisan cemetery and its surroundings. During their stay, they also visited the Mostar city center, and most important museums and mosques. With the sponsorship of the travel agency T-Tours d.o.o., they had the opportunity to visit the locality of Blagaj, Počitelj, and waterfalls Kravica. At the end of their visit to Mostar, youth correspondents from Subotica met with Husein Oručević, representative of Youth cultural center Abrašević and Marina Đapić director of the Street Art Festival. Otherwise, for the hospitality in Mostar and for help with all the questions, Jasmina and Azra Youth correspondents were available at the Local Democracy Agency Mostar (LDA Mostar).
With this visit, the Youth correspondents from Subotica rounded off their research on Mostar and its surroundings, gathering impressions and necessary materials to help them shape their stories and present the story of Mostar from their own angle.
Project Balkan regional platform for youth participation and dialogue in the third year of its implementation as one of the new activities of the work program has introduced the Exchange of Youth correspondents. The aim of this activity is to enable intercultural learners to provide intercultural learning at the same time strengthening the links between young people and intercultural exchanges between different communities within the Western Balkans. It is a three-day exchange of youth correspondents between the 8 Local Democracy Agencies (LDA) and ALDA Skopje, which are also partners of the project. Each partner will send their Youth correspondents to one of the communities in which the other partner is active and will be hosted by their Youth Collectibles colleagues from that community. Each community will visit two Youth correspondents at the same time.
