Institute for Youth Development KULT and magazine on youth work IUVENTA held a training course at the Educational – Leisure Centre SPAJALICA on May 3rd and 4th on the skills of advocating and the power of social networks. IUVENTA scholarship holders and reporters participated the training course. During the two-day workshop the participants gained additional knowledge and skills in public advocating for a certain well-defined problem and using social networks in promoting and advocating matters of interest for the community they live in.
On the first day of training, the participants learned from Rusmir Pobri? how to define public advocating, the issue, the objective and the tasks in advocating social changes in the future. The elections were an inevitable topic since we are in the election year. Objective reporting on youth and elections is one of the most interesting topics processed, with reference to political youth organising. With Davor Marko, IUVENTA’s editor in chief, a new issue of IUVENTA on Youth and Elections was planned through editorial board meetings and an introduction to editorial journalism.
On the second day, the participants had the chance to attend a lecture by Tarik Kapetanovi?, the Institute’s PR. Internet campaign, new media and tools for internet campaigns were discussed. Although we use social networks each day, the participants gained new skills on using the advantages of the internet and promoting our ideas.
Training course participants were pleased with the training because they gained new friendships and affirmed the old ones, besides gaining new knowledge. We are certain that the young IUVENTA magazine team will show its competency and professionalism in the future and thusly contribute the real attention on youth position in BiH and wider.
