International Student Week in Belgrade - ISWiB 2024

Every year, ISWiB gathers over 200 young people, including participants, moderators and volunteers. The idea of the festival is to bind young people through work in several different workshops created so that every workshop covers a significant field of the society we live in. Through workshops, close communication and cooperation, interactive lectures and various open activities, students will be able to gain new knowledge and exchange ideas. They will also have an opportunity to establish professional contacts with eminent professors and professionals from different sectors and develop and create new projects by themselves.

Topic for ISWiB 2023 was The future of communication and the festival is going to be organized under the slogan #ConnectionInEveryDirection.

The future of communication promises to be exciting and transformative, with a focus on creating more meaningful connections between people, as well as improving efficiency and productivity. The desired aim is for communication to become more interactive, intuitive and integrated across various platforms.

During the festival, workshops will be dedicated to development of digital technologies and their impact on communication, improvement of media literacy, self-expression through various art forms, mass communication as well as introspection, verbal and non-verbal communication in different environments. 

The slogan should emphasize the importance of cooperation and connection of society through all means of communication. That is why we should strive for #ConnectionInEveryDirection and bring our future interactions to a higher level.
