International Youth Conference in Language, Literature and Education

mladibl ,  , 

The Conference aims to create a platform for youth, students, undergraduates, and graduates in arts, humanities, and social sciences, to assess, explore, promote, and understand current trends and values of language learning, multicultural understanding, freedom, democracy, and equality in the contemporary world. Language does not only express facts and observations, but it is also a unifying force and medium for displaying and exchanging concepts, ideas, meanings, and thoughts.

Language depicts and transmits all the achievements of human civilization and all the features of the objective and subjective world. Humankind has faced unprecedented crises of environmental destruction, pandemics, wars, and nuclear war threats. Now more than ever before, it has become clear that only by working together and joining forces, young people may resist all the issues and build a better world for themselves and the generations to come.

The Conference offers students an opportunity to communicate their understanding of the current trends in language, literature, and education in the changing society, to network and join forces in the pursuit of a better future. Participants are encouraged to explore the interdisciplinary subjects to assess and evaluate the prospects and challenges of the world in relation to language trends, culture, environment, media, and social issues in general, and how to respond to the challenges humanity is facing. The Conference seeks youth participants from all over the world to exchange their ideas and experiences in an intellectually stimulating academic environment at the International University of Sarajevo, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The fundamental objective of the Conference is to provide students with an educational experience that prepares them for their future and to raise their awareness of the importance of working together to build a better world. Submitted papers will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee, whereupon selected papers will be published in the book of proceedings.
