Despite the restrictions ushered in as a result of the global pandemic, young people from Mitrovica are experiencing some new freedoms – with online trainings helping them to “think outside the box”. A series of human rights trainings organized by North Mitrovica NGO Sinergija, initially intended to be held in-person, have gone online in response to the lockdown measures. The online trainings are now focused on human rights and related challenges in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. A total of 18 workshops, including four since the lockdown, have been held so far, covering different segments related to gender equality and non-violence and focus on conversations about human rights in the current situation, including the right to health and freedom of movement.
