At last week's panel discussion held at Aktiv Art Centre we debated the topic “what is the mainstream culture today?” It was agreed that the last 25 years have seen a cultural, moral and material decline in the Western Balkans. From Belgrade, writer, Vladimir Arsenijevic, musician, Oliver Nektarijevic and front man of Kanda Kodza and Nebojsa together with Ljubisa Bascarevic one of the organizers of Mitrovica Jazz/Blues Fest, debated the modification of culture today and how the mainstream culture affects social dynamics, and whether there exits a “high” or “low” culture?

The program provides the opportunity for young people, students or graduates, to gain genuine work experience, and to learn or reinforce valuable skills in civil affairs.
