More than 100 young people from across Serbia gathered on Wednesday, 19 November, at the Human Rights House in Belgrade for Youth Rights Talks 2025, one of the largest annual events dedicated to youth human rights. This year’s central theme was young people’s right to freedom of assembly and association.
Throughout the full-day programme, dozens of participants spoke about the key social developments that marked the previous 12 months in Serbia: youth activism through student protests and movements, local initiatives, new forms of organizing and resistance, as well as issues of safety, mental health, and their vision of the society in which they want to live, work, and participate.
For eight consecutive years, Youth Rights Talks has provided young people with a platform to freely express their views on current social challenges, enabling the broader public to hear youth perspectives, opinions, initiatives, and personal stories.
The event was organized by the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights.
Youth Rights Talks 2025 was part of the project “Stepping Stones to Youth Diversity in Serbia”, supported by the Delegation of the European Union to Serbia. The event was also supported by the Ministry of Tourism and Youth. The content of this event is the sole responsibility of the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights and does not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union or the Ministry of Tourism and Youth.
