This video was prepared as part of the International Coalition for Democratic Renewal and its Youth Working Group, which addresses the role of young active people in supporting democracy and human rights.
“I would say that the only maybe long-lasting and sustainable changes are brought up when young people or people in general are creating communities.“
Jelena Milutinović is the Head of Development of Youth Initiative for Human Rights based in Serbia. As an experienced human rights educator who is highly dedicated to promoting civil society, she also participates in one of Forum 2000's initiatives - the International Coalition for Democratic Renewal. In this week's #Forum2000online Chat, Mrs Milutinović talks about the importance of youth engagement in shaping the democratic future of Serbia and other East European countries. As such, the interview not only provides for an in-depth understanding of the problems that younger generations face but also lays down the ways of overcoming them.
“Be persistent. Of course, you won´t be always able to do everything you wanted but something similar to that could be quite as satisfying as the thing that you originally wanted to do,“ advises Mrs Milutinović.
The interview was recorded on May 26, 2021 and moderated by Hasler Iglesias, Youth leader of the Voluntad Popular and Coordinator of the Youth Working Group of the International Coalition for Democratic Renewal from Venezuela.
