Sometimes a city only becomes meaningful when you see your own story reflected in it.

For Marta Szymańska, a collaboration between Poland and the UK opened up exactly that: a shared exhibition on migration shaped by real people’s experiences.

Two cities. Shared histories. New conversations. 📸

The creative economy is moving higher on the regional agenda.

Today, Wednesday 17 June, the Berlin Process Ministerial Forum on Creative Economy begins in Herceg Novi, convened by Montenegro’s Ministry of Culture and the British Council.

Held under Montenegro’s 2026 Presidency of the Berlin Process, the Forum builds on the Ministerial Meeting on Culture held in Kotor in 2025 and the Declaration adopted there.

The first day brings together experts, partners and regional stakeholders for knowledge exchange and focused working groups on two key areas: the experience economy and employability skills.

Discussions will explore the economic potential of cultural tourism, film, festivals, gaming, animation and gastronomy, alongside skills access, workforce development and the connection between education systems and creative economy employment.

The working groups will develop recommendations to be presented to ministers and funders tomorrow, helping turn regional commitment into practical next steps.

This is about moving from commitment to progress.

Next Generation: What We Know
Mis/disinformation in the Western Balkans

How credibility decisions happen in practice
Young people often move quickly—from exposure to judgement to action—when navigating information online.

Here’s what that process looks like in practice
1. Exposure
Information reaches young people through recommendations, creators, repost chains, comments, forwards, and group chats.
2. Judgement
Instead of full verification, they rely on practical credibility cues to quickly assess what they see.
3. Trust
Trust is shaped by people, familiarity, perceived “officialness,” and the identity of the source.
4. Action
They may ignore, check, discuss, share, or pass content on—sometimes without fully endorsing it.

Media Literacy in the Age of AI: from ideas to impact

Here’s what happened when learning turned into action:
⬩ 6 winning teams — one from each country, driving forward the strongest ideas
⬩ 25+ experts supporting participants as mentors
⬩ 30+ partner organisations powering the programme
⬩ 1 international study visit in Belfast bringing together 30 young people
⬩ 1 youth-policy dialogue connecting participants with decision-makers

Next Generation: What We Know
Mis/disinformation in the Western Balkans

What this study covered
A mixed-methods study across six Western Balkans contexts, designed to understand how young people navigate information—not just what they do.

This research brings together multiple evidence streams to build a deeper, more nuanced picture:
• 6 countries
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia
• 13 focus group discussions
• 67 Social Media Diaries
• 48 key informant interviews
• 549 diary episodes
• Light social listening, where available

All findings were triangulated across methods to ensure consistency and depth.
Note: This is a qualitative, purposive study focused on explaining mechanisms rather than producing statistically representative estimates.

What if museums weren’t just places to look at the past, but spaces to question and rethink it?

That’s what Dorina Xheraj-Subashi is exploring through her work in Albania’s museum and heritage sector.

Her focus: more inclusive storytelling, more audience engagement and more voices shaping how culture is presented: https://ow.ly/w9as50Z8GGP
