What does reconciliation look like through your eyes?
Maybe it is a conversation that never happened. A stereotype you want to challenge. A story that deserves to be heard. Or an idea you want to turn into a photo, video, performance, song or something completely different.
From 16 to 21 October 2026, young people from Montenegro, Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina will come together in Montenegro for Reconciliation Through Our Eyes – a Regional Youth Intercultural Camp within the District of Reconciliation project.
This will not be a camp where you spend five days just listening to presentations. You will discuss, question, create and work with other young people from across the region.
Together, we will explore topics such as media literacy, hate speech, stereotypes, polarization, intercultural dialogue and reconciliation, and turn ideas and experiences into creative content.
Depending on the interests of the group, you may work on:
– theatre and performance
– photography and video
– music and songwriting
– spoken word and poetry
– illustrations and graphic content
– installations and other artistic forms
– journalism, storytelling and social media content
The works developed during the camp may later be presented or used within activities of the District of Reconciliation project.
