This week I had the pleasure to meet Bardh Ajeti (18) & Arjona Morina (16), two youth activists here in Prishtina.
I was assigned to work with Youth Activists for my “Newborn” project. I was very happy that I had the chance to spend time with younger people than myself and to see what their life in Kosovo looks like from their perspective – and I must say I was so surprised in the most positive way!
I met them both in order to discuss with them what the project is about, what the main idea behind it is but also to ask them what they would like to share in the “Newborn” Documentary, because I believe that it is important to give them the freedom to share their thoughts and ideas without me pushing them in a direction they don’t want to go. They had a lot to talk about and the meetings turned from minutes into hours and it got better and better. I am really excited to work on the Newborn Documentary with them.
After both meetings, I had a really good feeling! I felt kind of proud and excited for the future. I met two very smart, generous and ambitious young Kosovars who are TODAY actively trying to make a difference in this country for a better TOMORROW in Kosovo.
I am looking forward to hear and see more of them!
