Unfortunately, even great things, such as ISWiB, must come to an end. The
educational programme of our festival ends with short presentations of what
participants have been doing during the week. All of this will take place during
the Closing ceremony – an event where every workshop presents its work.
Participants, accompanied by moderators of the workshops and give their

Panel discussion “Influence of New and Traditional Media In Raising Public Awereness and
Responsibility of Youth”
Most of us use Facebook or Twitter almost every day. We share our thoughts, moods,
photos and music we like with our friends. Some of us are only networking or playing
games there. But, have you ever thought about using these social networks for some
other, “socially aware” things, such as the recent anti government protests in Egypt.
Do you believe new media can, for example, encourage students to express their
attitudes and help them to initiate some concrete actions? On the other hand, what
about traditional media such as television or newspapers? Have they lost their influence
over young people or can they keep up in this harsh race?
Come and discuss these and many more interesting issues on ISWiB’s panel
discussion “Influence of New and Traditional Media In Raising Public Awereness and
Responsibility of Youth”.
We proudly present our guest speakers:
Snježana Milivojević, Professor at Faculty of Political Sciense Tihomir Stojanović, E-PR Executive McCann Erickson, founder of "Mreža kreativnih ljudi". Igor Božić, Editor-in chief in "Blic" Newspaper Srećko Šekeljić, Grants Programme Coordinator in the "Institute for Sustainable
Development".
The Panel Discussion will be held in the Centre for Cultural Decontamination, in
Birčaninova 21 street, on Friday, July 15th at 5 pm.
Everyone is welcome.
Open lecture "Mediation : The Art of Communication Disputes"
On Wednesday, July 13th at 5pm at Municipilaty of New Belgrade Jelena Arsic
and Dragana Cuk – Milankov had a lecture with the theme "Mediation : The Art of
Communication Disputes".
Do you think that almost every solution to a problem comes after a noisy discussion?
Do you think that you need to be a specialist to solve a "bigger" conflict?
And do you believe that all these things need to be put in a negative context?
Jelena Arsic and Dragana Cuk Milankov gave some answers to ISWiB's participants on
this and many other questions during the lecture "Mediation: The Art of Communication
Disputes".
Participants were able to find out all the facts about what mediation is, who can be a
mediator and how you are a mediator in every day life.
Participants discovered how it is done in real life by a group of young people with their
professors and friends.

ISWiB 011 – „Communication In Action“!
„BELGRADE CALLING!“
ISWiB 2010 ended a few months ago. During that week 200 students from all over the world answered the question: “Do We Tolerate Intolerance?”.
After “Crossing borders” (ISWiB 2006), “Update Local To Get Global” (2007), “Challenge of Changes” (2009) and fighting intolerance (2010) in 2011 we have reached a milestone - the fifth ISWiB!
Even though we started out with just a few organizers, a low budget and just 30 participants (2007), over 10000 people visited just one of the many events of this year’s ISWiB.
ISWiB 011 will take place from 10th to 17th July 2011, under the motto "Communication in Action".
As our little jubilee, ISWiB 011 will, we are sure, outdo all the previous ones, both by quality and popularity.
All information about workshops, applications and participation fees will be known and published in due time.
