Photos from the book promotion / Fotografije sa promocije knjige

Dear visitors,
Promotion of the book "Europe for your thoughts" took place in the premises of "Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj" grammar school in Novi Sad on the 9th March 2012.  Here you can finally see the photos from this event! 


Dragi posetioci sajta,
promocija knjige "Evropa za vaše misli" se održala u prostorijama gimnazije Jovan Jovanović Zmaj u Novom Sadu, 9. marta 2012. godine! Ovde konačno možete videti slike sa ovog događaja!





The event was successfully  moderated by Darko Soldat, member of our project team. The introductory speeches were held  by Branka Panić, representative of the European Fund for the Balkans, who introduced the numerous audience with the Southeast Europe and EU  Programme, and Darija Marić, the project group coordinator, who described the "Europe for your thoughts" project as an ambitious endeavor of 6 young people who wanted (and eventually suceeded) to stimulate young people into creative thinking about the the European culture and values. After that, Luca Kadar, Head of Information, Communication and Press, EU Delegation in Serbia shared with nearly 170 people in the audience her impressions of the project and her strong support to the involvement of young people in creating an European future for the region. Our special guest was Mirjana Bobic Mojsilovic, famous Serbian writer and artist , who also wrote an introduction for the book. She held a passionate speech, concluding with words: "Will the Europe be able to sing, like our kids sang about Europe?"


Dogadjaj je uspešno moderirao Darko Soldat, član naše projektne grupe. Uvodni govor je držala Branka Panić, predstavnica Evropskog fonda za Balkan, koje je brojnoj publici predstavila LDP program. Publici se obratila i Darija Marić koordinatorka projektne grupe, koja je govorila o samom projektu Evropa za vaše misli, kao o ambicioznom poduhvatu 6 mladih ljudi čiji je cilj bio (i u tome su i uspeli) da podstaknu mlade ljude da na kreativan način razmišljaju o evropskoj kulturi i o evropskim vrednostima. Nakon toga, Luca Kadar, predstavnici podelila je sa gotovo 170 ljudi koji su sedeli u publici svoje utiske o projektu i izrazila podršku svakom uključivanju mladih ljudi u kreiranje evropske budućnosti regiona. Nas počasni gost je bila Mirjana Bobić Mojsilović, poznata srpska spisateljica i umetnica, koje je napisala i predgovor za ovu knjigu. Zaključak njenog vrlo pasioniranog govora bio je: "Da li će Evropa umeti da peva, kao što su naša deca pevala o njoj?"













After Mirjana's performance, which had a very strong impact on the audience, mainly consisted of high school students and their professors, the time came for the winner of the first prize, Jovana Janjic, to be officially awarded and to read her story. That was the best way to conclude the official part of the event, but many guests stayed at the specially prepared cocktail afterwards and enjoyed an informal chat with our speakers and the project group members.   

Nakon Mirjaninog nastupa, koji je imao snažan uticaj na publiku koju su uglavnom činili učenici srednjih škola i njihovi profesori, došao je trenutak da pobednici Jovani Janjić, bude urucena njena nagrada i da ona pročita svoju priču. To je bio najlepši način da se stavi tačka na ceremonijalni deo događaja, ali mnogi prisutni su ostali na, za njih specijalno pripremljenom, koktelu i uživali u opuštenom razgovoru sa našim gostima i članovima projektne grupe.













And here is the little piece of the atmosphere, captured on cammera:
