Ekipa Blejskega strateškega foruma (BSF) v svoje vrste ponovno vabi študentske okrepitve, ki bodo postale ključni del razširjene ekipe pri organizaciji največjega in najpomembnejšega zunanjepolitičnega dogodka v Republiki Sloveniji.

Letošnja mednarodna konferenca, ki bo potekala 31. avgusta in 1. septembra 2026 na Bledu, bo pod naslovom ‘Choosing The Future’ v ospredje postavila aktivno vlogo posameznikov in držav pri sooblikovanju prihodnosti.

Za glavno organizacijo foruma sicer skrbi ustaljena, a majhna ekipa, ki pa v času dogodka zaradi izjemnega organizacijskega zalogaja potrebuje pomoč. Študenti z operativnim delom in neposrednim stikom z gosti odigrajo neprecenljivo vlogo pri uspehu celotnega foruma, hkrati pa dobijo edinstven vpogled v zakulisje mednarodne politike.

Kaj pričakujemo od kandidatov?

• Odgovornost, organiziranost in željo po pridobivanju novih izkušenj.
• Urejen študentski status do konca septembra 2026.
• Zaželene (niso pa pogoj) predhodne izkušnje pri organizaciji dogodkov.

Področja dela vključujejo: delo na odprtju v Festivalni dvorani, pomoč v medijskem centru ali PR ekipi, sprejem delegacij na letališču Jožeta Pučnika, logistično podporo v dvoranah, delo na bilateralnih srečanjih in na akreditacijskem pultu.

Kaj ponujamo?

• Možnost sodelovanja na glavnem zunanjepolitičnem dogodku v Sloveniji ter odlično priložnost za nova poznanstva.
• Delo, plačano po urni postavki 7,73 € neto.
• Organizirano prehrano in prevoz iz Ljubljane do Bleda.
• Možnost priznanja dela kot obvezne prakse v okviru formalnega izobraževanja.
• Možnost pridobitve priporočila vodstva v primeru dobro opravljenega dela.

Potek dela: Glavnina dela bo potekala v ponedeljek, 31. avgusta, in v torek, 1. septembra, del ekipe pa bo vključen že med vikendom (29. in 30. avgusta) ter v času priprav. Predpriprave bodo vključevale en spletni koordinacijski sestanek in krajše spletno varnostno izobraževanje.

Vse zainteresirane študente vabimo, da se prijavi preko spletnega obrazca najkasneje do vključno nedelje, 7. junija 2026. Ob prijavi je potrebno priložiti življenjepis (CV) in kratko motivacijsko pismo (do 300 besed). V primeru velikega števila prijav bodo med 8. in 12. junijem potekali kratki, 10-minutni spletni razgovori.

The first OSCE WIN Academy – Youth Edition, co-organised by the Bled Strategic Forum (BSF), the OSCE, and the Faculty of Social Sciences, took place in Ljubljana from 3–6 November. The programme brought together 16 students from South-Eastern Europe for four days of workshops, discussions, and exchanges focused on gender equality and the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda.

The Youth Edition is part of the OSCE WIN (Women and Men Innovating and Networking for Gender Equality) project. The main objective of WIN is to advance gender equality as a prerequisite for achieving and maintaining stable, prosperous, and peaceful societies across the OSCE area. WIN regularly delivers capacity-building programmes, leadership trainings, and skills development opportunities for professionals and practitioners. This was the first time the Academy was organised specifically for young people, making it a new step in extending WIN’s tools and training approaches to the next generation of peace providers.

The programme

The programme opened with a public event titled “Looking Back in Order to Look Forward: Empowering Youth to Lead and Strengthen WPS.” Speakers underlined that the WPS Agenda is about ensuring full inclusion in peace and security efforts and highlighted the need to shift narratives away from seeing women only as victims.

The panel featured:

• Ambassador Darja Bavdaž Kuret, MFA Slovenia
• Prof. Dr. Ljubica Jelušič, University of Ljubljana
• Dr. Lara Scarpitta, OSCE Gender Issues Programme

Moderated by Peter Grk, BSF Secretary General

The event was opened by Tanja Fajon, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, Dr. Scarpitta, and Prof. Dr. Andrej Kohont, Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences.

Over the next few days, the participants then engaged in the participant-only programme, which included sessions on the OSCE’s work and its field operations in South-Eastern Europe, key international frameworks on gender equality, and the intersections of gender, youth, and peacebuilding.

Throughout the programme, they had the opportunity to learn from and engage with a range of OSCE experts and practitioners, including Anastasia Fusco (WIN Project Manager, OSCE Gender Issues Programme), Augusta Featherston (Head of Democratization Department, OSCE Mission to Serbia), and Elmaja Bavčić (Adviser on Gender Equality, OSCE), who led sessions on OSCE structures, gender frameworks, and practical approaches to equality in the security sector.

The programme also featured a conversation with Sonja Lokar, former Chair of the Stability Pact Gender Task Force, as well as a fireside chat with alumnae of the OSCE Young Women’s Dialogue Academy. In addition, participants took part in the workshop “Youth Voices for an Equal Future,” a feminist tour of Ljubljana, and a discussion with Ms. Lucija Tacer, Member of the National Assembly.
