The Brave New Media Forum 2023: November 17-18, Belgrade (Serbia)
The Brave New Media Forum (BNMF) is one of the key media forums in the Western Balkans and this year will be held on 17-18. November at the Yugoslav Cinematheque in Belgrade. This event will bring together participants and guests from around the world which believes in the power of media to inspire positive change in society. The BNMF fosters engagement, learning, and social impact through media. It’s a melting pot of ideas where media makers of all ages and backgrounds share best practices and inspire each other to raise media standards.
This forum is co-organized by DW Akademie and the OSCE Mission to Serbia and one of the main goals is to provide a dynamic event where young voices gather to shape the future of media and redefine the media landscape. Whether you’re a young creator, an experienced media professional, or someone who values the inclusion of youth in the creative process, BNMF is a place where you can express your ideas.
This year's edition recognizes the importance of involving children and youth not only in the creative process but also in decision-making. It’s a collaborative space where the young and the experienced work together to ensure that the media landscape is inclusive and diverse because engaging today’s youth is key to engaging tomorrow’s audiences.
Important topic will be critical issues such as press freedom in countries like Turkey and Myanmar, but also in the Western Balkans, giving a voice to minority media and addressing the challenges faced by journalists in hostile environments. The forum will also focus on fostering LGBTQI+ acceptance in societies, with discussions aimed at combating hate speech and promoting inclusivity.
