Institute for European Affairs is focusing on negotiations between Serbia and the EU as well as on strengthening the capacity of all sides involved in the process. Given the complexity and long duration of the process, the Institute brings together a large number of professionals and external experts with whom organises trainings, debates and other forms of capacity development. We want to contribute to enhanced understanding of Serbia-EU relations. The Institute provides multi-perspective trainings in order to enable active participation of professionals and citizens in the decision-making processes. The Institute actively advocates for fundamental reforms within the EU integration process and in cooperation with partners working on strengthening Serbia's capacity to face the challenges of the global world through collective action. The overall objective is active membership of Serbia in Euro-Atlantic framework for the benefit of all citizens.

The main theme of education was the work of the Youth Board of Education and the Young Ambassadors of Reconciliation project. Through the two-hour lecture and power point presentation we passed through some of the most important topics such as: ethics and responsibility, history and human rights, Europe and reality, and the other.

Participants were particularly interested in the institutions that we have had the opportunity to visit during the study visits and projects of the Youth Education Committee. The main topic of discussion was the topic of “History and Human Rights.” Participants in a particular high school were interested in learning more about the new history textbooks which talked about the professor Dubravka Stojanovic young ambassadors on one of the lectures. For them, it was very interesting and new discovery that there are universal history books that could be used in schools.

Students are more interested in information about the lecturers at the seminar, and as we were encouraged to think critically. This peer education went well because of the diversity of the participants and their curiosity.
