My name is Medina Spahić, I was born on August 7, 1997, in Gornji Vakuf. I attended primary and secondary school in Bugojno. I obtained the title of Bachelor of Communication in 2019 at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Sarajevo. Since childhood, I have shown interest in theater, and when I was 10 years old I joined the theater called FEDRA Theater Bugojno, and I am still a member today. In 12 years of membership, I have played over 15 plays. In addition to the theater, I was a member of the Red Cross Bugojno, with which I won first place in municipal, cantonal and federal competitions in first aid. During my high school education, I worked for the editorial board of the high school magazine "Pogledi" and was an organizer of the festivals "FEDRA", "Susreti pozorišta/ kazališta lutaka BiH", and "Lutkarsko bijenale". During my studies, I worked part-time for the Depo portal, where I gained experience in writing journalistic texts. In 2020, I worked as a PR at the Avant & Una Film Festival, and during the pandemic, I applied to BIRN's competition for reporting the pandemic, which resulted in a text published on their platform Detektor.ba. After that, I worked as a proofreader on the second edition of the book "Life Against Death: Srebrenica", authored by Kadir Habibović, which is still in the process of preparation. I worked on two film projects; Voice from the Mountain and the film Seven, which are still a work in progress. Together with several colleagues, I work on the realization of the youth portal "Petlja", which aims to merge and promote young people throughout BiH, but also the region. I gained my last journalistic engagement in the RYCO organization, where I worked on a project to build a platform for young people, in which I did two interviews. I am currently a final year master's student at the Faculty of Political Science, Department of Communication, majoring in classical journalism.
