On the National Day of the Turkish Community in Kosovo, NGO THY presents a podcast produced by participants of the UPSHIFT workshop, addressing a significant community issue: the challenges faced by the Turkish community in Prizren due to limited Albanian language knowledge.
The episode features in-depth reflections and personal stories, providing insight into how language barriers affect daily life, education, and social interactions. By sharing these experiences, the podcast highlights both the realities and the aspirations of community members, offering listeners a direct perspective on inclusion and communication challenges.
Through this activity, the youth participants demonstrate the power of storytelling and media as tools for awareness and dialogue. The podcast encourages reflection on how communities can become more inclusive and promotes understanding across cultural and linguistic lines.
By exploring this topic with honesty and sensitivity, the podcast illustrates how youth initiatives can amplify underrepresented voices and contribute to meaningful conversations about social inclusion and cohesion in Prizren.
