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.

Peer to Peer Education

 

What was the topic of the discussion and how was organised?

The topic was “The Role of Media”. It was held in an informal way, similar to what we have had at our OFE programme. I taught them what is media, types of it and examples. Besides that we focused on the current situation of the media in Serbia.

Explain the reaction of the participants on your speech.

The participants were interested in the debate and many of them participated.

They were surprised at the beginning, since they did not expect to see me.

They were relaxed and felt that they could talk freely.

Have you notice the impact of your lecture on the participants? Explain.

My lecture had an impact on them, since they are not usually having the opportunity to talk to somebody that is close to their age in classroom in this non-formal way. That is why I could easily approach them.

What were the questions posed by the participants and how did you react?

Examples of the mainstream media and the alternative. Examples of the newspapers that are not censored. What is the civil society. Explanation of the current media events in Serbia.

I really enjoyed answering the questions. There was a natural flow, and every question was related to the other. Meaning that they were all relevant and connected.
