For our first episode I speak with Delvina Sejdii, a young peacebuilder from North Macedonia. Delvina is a member of UNOY – the United Network of Young Peacebuilders which is a youth-led network for young people involved in various peacebuilding activities in 69 countries around the world.
When we recorded our call, Delvina was working at a youth project called MultiKulti in her home city of Kumanovo which is run by the Center for Intercultural Dialogue, a civil society NGO and she continues to be involved there in a voluntary capacity. Delvina is studying international communications and diplomacy at university and was recently selected to be President of an Institute for Political and International Studies in North Macedonia.
My thanks to Eliška Jelínková and Manon Buret from UNOY who connected me with Delvina, I really enjoyed our conversation. We talk about how she got involved in youth work and what motivates her, the importance of young people getting involved in peacebuilding, her vision for her city and beyond and the value of dialogue in a divided society.
