We warmly welcome you to the next event in the IR TALKS series, organized by the Department of International Relations on December 8. This time, the event will not be based on professional presentations and discussions by Corvinus lecturers and academic or practitioner guest speakers, but on the contribution of Corvinus students. The speakers have attended the course ’Regime Types and Human Rights’ by Eszter Kirs (Institute of Global Studies, Department of International Relations). They prepared the roundtable discussion as part of their coursework, and the high quality of the discussion justified sharing the presentation with the university public.
In addition to our students, guest speaker Emilija Milenković (a young activist and student of the University of Belgrade) will broaden the perspective. The roundtable discussion will focus on protest movements organized by students and youth in six countries (Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Macedonia, Serbia, and Sri Lanka), exploring their identities, goals, structures, mobilization efforts, performative tools, and impacts.
Participants of the roundtable discussion:
-
Sesilia Pocev – International Relations BA student at Corvinus University of Budapest
-
