The Feminist Spring School was established in 2014 as an initiative by young peace activists from Serbia and Kosovo, with the aim of creating a safe feminist space to open dialogue and foster collective reflection, with the goal of contributing to peacebuilding from a feminist perspective.

For eleven consecutive years, this school has been held within the framework of the project “Young Women Build Peace”, which is implemented in partnership by the Alternative Girls’ Center from Kruševac and Artpolis – Art and Community Center from Prishtina, with the support of the Swedish Foundation Kvinna till Kvinna.

This year, the Feminist Spring School will take place during the second week of May in Kosovo.
