As part of the activity “Advocacy Sessions with Assembly Members and Political Parties”, on October 7, 2025, in Mitrovica, the Musine Kokalari Institute for Social Policy organized a workshop titled “Advocacy and Political Engagement.”
The workshop brought together assembly candidates and members from Kosovo’s political parties, as well as representatives from the Serbian and Bosniak communities of South and North Mitrovica.
Lecturers included Fisnik Rexhepi, who presented the legal framework and the competencies of assembly members, and Senad Sabovic, who discussed the importance of communication with citizens and the use of social media during and after election campaigns to enhance public engagement.
In addition to the lecture sessions, participants engaged in practical exercises and group discussions, where they exchanged experiences, analyzed concrete challenges related to representation and communication, and proposed more effective ways to engage with citizens. The activities focused on improving public communication skills and using digital tools to increase transparency and public trust.
The goal of the workshop was to strengthen communication, empathy, and collaborative planning skills among assembly members and representatives of different ethnic groups.
This activity was carried out within the framework of the project “Promoting Political Dialogue on Interethnic and Social Cohesion,” supported by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and implemented by the Musine Kokalari Institute for Social Policy.
