The Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly (HCA) from Banja Luka is organizing the fifth online education under the title “Gender Equality in the Process of EU Integration”. The activity is implemented in partnership with the Heinrich Böll Foundation.
The Academy will be held between May 29 and June 6 and will include 4 zoom workshops lasting 2 hours and reading literature/watching videos during other days in the specified period. The goal of this activity is to build capacity among students from different cities of BiH to analyze, monitor and advocate for the improvement of women’s human rights during the integration of our country into the EU. The Online Academy will be organized for a group of about 15 participants, giving them answers to the questions: what is gender equality, how to be an active actor in public and political life, environmental justice and how to influence the ongoing processes of EU integration in BiH. Although the training is intended primarily for the student population, all other interested parties are welcome to join us.
Through this online course, you will be guided by lecturer Dr. Midhat Izmirli with the support of other trainers. Lectures will not be only theoretical. The transfer of knowledge will largely refer to personal experiences, knowledge exchange and as much mutual interaction as possible.
After the training, all those interested will have the opportunity to write papers on a given topic that will be published and presented to a wider audience, as well as engaged in other types of activities. All published student papers on HCA internet platforms will be modestly rewarded. In this process, they will have the support of a mentor. In order to present student analyzes and share their information and knowledge, students will also have the opportunity to plan their presentations through various initiatives with faculties, non-government organizations and journalists.
Everyone who passes this training becomes part of our community – ALUMNI club, and depending on personal interest, will have the opportunity to attend various events that we organize. In addition, students will have the opportunity to meet in person next year when we plan the annual meeting of the ALUMNI group. The group gathers all generations of students who have undergone this training.
If you are interested in the Online Academy, send us your information (Name and contact phone number) with an explanation of why you want to attend this training to the email address bilic@hcabl.org (Bojana Ilić).
We look forward to meeting you soon and learning online! Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly BL
