1st day of the International Youth Conference included the following sessions and their speakers: SESSION I   SESSION II We asked the Conference's participants to share their thoughts on the following question:  What do you think of how social distancing in this pandemic affects human development? Here's what they said about it: Muratcan Isıldak, Turkey :  The COVID-19 crisis has taught us one thing, it is that the relentless focus on hyper-efficiency and short-term gains of recent decades has given rise to a highly fragile global system. The time has come to build a more resilient world order, based on economic, generational, and international solidarity. Will the young, among whom the mortality rate is lower, make sacrifices to protect the old? And will people in rich countries accept resource transfers to poor countries?

2020 brought new methodology for the EU accession process for the Western Balkans. Hereby, the thorny path to the EU of Western Balkans is coming to new hope for EU integration of the region.

Indirektno mi je dala taj savjet i dala mi je mogućnost da ta   rečenica prođe kroz mene i ostavi traga na meni. Odmah sam je u sebi programirala, zamjenivši je sa starim uvjerenjima koja mi nisu koristila. Uvijek sam znala da je najvažnije kako se osjećamo u sebi, šta nosimo u sebi i koliko sebe hranimo. Ali sa ovom rečenicom sam shvatila nešto novo: nebitno kakve nam se okolnosti dese koje su van naše kontrole, najvažnije je da na kraju dana sami sebe podignemo iz tog stanja. Ovdje ne zapostavljam proces bolovanja. Normalno je da u tim trenucima osjećamo bol, tugu, raz
