An inspiring narrative to empower young women with disabilities”, “Integrated Security: Empowering Women on Self-Care, Activism, and Reflection in Action”, and “Breaking Barriers: Challenging Gender Roles in Film”.
Group work, presentations, film screenings, discussions, games, and cultural tours were the activities that filled the four days of the Feminist Spring School.
The participants in this edition were inspired and motivated by activists and lecturers with extensive experience in various fields, including Igo Rogova, Lepa Mlađenović, Feride Rushiti, Jeta Xharra, Resmije Rahmani, Yllka Soba, and Elena Avdija.
