Through series of practical examples workshop elaborates the role of youth as an important social and political player in today’s society. Method of work will be dominantly practice oriented. It will include testimonials of various youth activists who will share their experiences and know-how starting with the idea development, fundraising, stakeholders targeting to the execution of projects.

Participants will gain a general overview of activism through political parties and through civil society organizations, main differences between those two, current challenges and perspectives, as well as the importance of international networking.

2. Media
(Wave Magazin - Serbia)
http://wavemagazine.net/
“#(r)evolution”

From #IranElections over #25Jan and #LondonRiots to #OWS we had the possibility to witness events as they happen. Not only did the social media facilitate the revolutions in the world – they are a revolution itself. For the first time, thanks to Internet access, anyone can post a message with more chance than ever that it is going to recieve a feedback. And just like in afore mentioned cases, you'd be surprised with how large a feedback can be.

You probably already know that if Facebook were a country, it would be the third largest country in the world. We are talking about the world where over 50% of population is under 30 years old. The population of Generation Y of which 96% joined social networks. And those users provide the network with more than 1 billion posts, photos or videos daily. Journalists have never been subjected to such an abundance of information.

These are just some of the facts and figures about the (r)evolution we are all observing and participating in. During our Media Workshop this year we want to share and hopefully exchange good practice cases and sketch potential guidelines for the future.

3. Restyle
(Jelena Mitić, Ivana Andrejić - Serbia)
“Restyle yourself - Change the world”

Restyle and repropose your old clothes, you don't have to have any experience in rewamping or restyling to enjoy this workshop. We can change your view on ordinary clothing, and make you express yourself in best way. Express your energy and spirit throw suitable ways of dressing and changing your style. Be yourself! Make your style!

View on you is the view on the message you're sending the world through your clothes, through your style, through your personal view OF you. If you want to change the world, change the way you are.The idea behind it, is to, also, use fashion to bridge the gap between the privileged and underprivileged youth.

Our creative team will help you create the part of your own fashion lines by using second-hand materials.

Ultimately, what we hope to achive is to create a part of fashion lines that involve all youth- NEW second-hand fashion that really makes us the way we are, the way we should be.

That sends the message you want.
That really can change somebody's view.
That really can CHANGE THE WORLD.
Fashion is not just a designer.
Is not just a fashion week.
Is not just expensive bags ad skirts.
Fashion is the message of changing the world.
YOU can be a PART OF IT!

5. Project Management
(Jan Z. Kulenović - Bosnia and Herzegovina)
http://oiabih.info/
“Workshop for empowerment of young people on how to create and develop projects to make a change!”

Workshop “Project Management” is designed to empower students on how to create effective, technically correct and fundraising-attractive project proposals. It is not enough just to have good idea, motivation and will to make a change. This workshop will help you to put your idea in a right format that will enable you to manage the project, but in the same time to get funding for its realization.

Workshop methodology is combination of reviewing case studies, different exercises, discussions for sharing experiences, small group work, brainstorm, presentation of best practices, role plays, work on concrete examples and coaching. It would also be a platform for meeting people with great project ideas and for networking, including provision of tips and useful info on current donors and funding opportunities.

The Workshop is based on 10-year experience in successful project writing supported by various donors and in the same time being in evaluation boards of different international foundations.

6. Photography
(Tomo Kalašnikov - Croatia)
“Action – no borders, Promote unity, Now for the future, Open eyes-open hearts-open mind”

The workshop is primarily intended to share knowledge of photography through social interaction. Photography has become increasingly important in everyday life, and now more available than ever.
My (our) goal is to teach the basics of professional photography, technical skills and aesthetics.
Technical skills would imply learning basic terms, functions of cameras and learning the minor details of how the camera and photography works.
Aesthetic part means discussing and showing on examples on what is good and what is deemed as a lesser quality picture. We would stress out the fact that it is very easy to improve skills only by making minor adaptations which average person is usually not aware.
Portrait photography would be explained and explored, and throughout the week we would make photos of ISWIBs participants, events and other.
Landscape photography would be key as well, in order to bring the Belgrade and Belgrade experience to everybody, at ISWIB and further.
We’d contribute to the official ISWIB page and other workshops, mainly documentary and art related.

7. Theater
(SKUTR Theatre group - Czech Republic)


Theatre exist since the beginning of time. We can say that the theatre is the one of the best ways of communication because we can express our feeling, disagreements, displeasure, criticizing in very creative way. But sometimes we are questioning, what is the role of the theatre today? Does the young people pay attention to the messages that were sent through some Play? Through exercises, improvisations, theatre performances, workshop participants will try to understand and demonstrate how theatre change the World for real.
8. Filmmaking
(Sérgio Vaqueiro-Experimentaculo associacao cultural - Portugal)
http://experimentaculo.org/

Thre's a old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. Youth can change the world and cinema could be one of their strongest weapons. This workshop intends to provide it’s participants with basics of knowledge of filmmaking. Throughout the duration of the workshop, participants in Belgrade will discover how to use cinema and video to change the world.
