The International Media School “Balkans & BRICS+” opened in Belgrade 😼 On March 12, the opening ceremony of the 2nd International Media School “Balkans & BRICS+” took place in Belgrade. The programme brings together young journalists, analysts and students to discuss the role of BRICS+ countries in the contemporary global agenda. 📍 The Media School was launched at Ragusa Hub, a new space for international dialogue whose official opening is scheduled for early June. During the opening ceremony, Ekaterina Entina, Director of the Center for Mediterranean Studies at HSE University and Advisor to the Gorchakov Fund, noted: “BRICS+ offers a format of dialogue where there are no ‘masters’ and ‘students.’ It is a space where countries can engage in an equal discussion and jointly search for compromises on key international issues. Perhaps this is difficult to measure from a material point of view, but this philosophy of interaction is becoming one of the most important foundations for the development of the modern world.” The Media School will run until March 14 and will continue in Divčibare. The programme includes discussions on how BRICS is perceived by youth in member countries, the role of symbols and identity in the Balkan media landscape, and the prospects for the development of a multipolar world. ➡️ More about the opening of the Media School — in the RT Balkan report or the Sputnik Serbia article. The event is organised by the Ragusa Non-Profit Organisation with the support of the Gorchakov Fund, World Youth Festival, and the Knowledge Diplomacy Center. 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣
