What was the topic of the discussion and how was organised? |
During the discussion has not processed any specific topic. Participants were given information about the Youth Education Committee, the Youth Reconciliation Ambassadors program, participants and lecturers on the program, as well as activities and general impressions. They also received information about the lecturers who left on me a special impression and why. In addition, they get the information about the movies that were shown during the program and where they can be found, as well as the recommendations to look at them because they carry a strong lesson and send a specific message. |
Explain the reaction of the participants on your speech. |
Since the most frequently mentioned word during the speech, word reconciliation, mainly among people of different nationalities was noticeable the reaction of distrust among participants. The reason for this state of affairs perhaps lie in the fact that all participants in daily living on the border with Kosovo Albanians, and the lack of cooperation and communication between them, as well as the numerous conflicts that were, and are still happening, still does not reflect enough hope that reconciliation is possible in the near future. |
Have you notice the impact of your lecture on the participants? Explain. |
I believe that some influence was reached with regard to that about 7-8 participants inquired about the possibility of participating in the same program. Surprising was, that among them there were 2-3 female participants older than 35 years, but unfortunately they cannot send an application for a certain age limitation. Participants were also very interested in films that were talked about exact names by which they can find and see. |
What were the questions posed by the participants and how did you react? |
As previously was mentioned, issues were largely connected to technicalities, and referred to the possibility of applying and participating in this program or any other program organized by YEC – OOO. |
