The spirit of "REthink Diaspora" lives on as we bring our community together for an evening of connection and inspiration.

We are happy to continue our collaboration with Movetia - the Swiss Agency for Mobility and Youth, for this special evening. A highlight of our meetup will be the presentation of Collaboratio Balkanica 3.0, an innovative project that brings together youth from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Switzerland. Together with our partners from the Network of Youth of Southeast Europe and experts from Collaboratio Helvetica, we'll showcase a newly developed toolkit designed to address social challenges and strengthen regional collaboration.

This event marks an important milestone as we'll also share exciting news about i-diaspora's official registration in Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with our achievements from the past ten years and our vision for the future.

Building on the powerful message that "we are building something over 10 years that will last 100 years," this meetup offers a unique opportunity to continue the conversations started in Sarajevo. We'll explore how our commitment to human-centric approaches and the wisdom economy can create lasting impact in our communities.

Just as our conference emphasized that "building trust and interpersonal relationships is the foundation of everything," this evening will focus on strengthening these bonds within our Swiss network. We'll share insights from our work and discuss how we can implement its key themes of local development, education, and economic growth in our local context.

Come join us as we embrace the spirit that "people don't need help, they need support, and the sky is the limit." Let's continue to build bridges for a better future, one relationship at a time.
