PANEL DISCUSSION – GENERATION Z AS A DRIVER OF SOCIAL CHANGE

Why have members of Generation Z become key drivers of social change, and how are these transformations unfolding? These are the central questions that will be addressed at a panel discussion scheduled for February 26 at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Banja Luka.

The discussion, titled “Gen Z as a Driver of Social Change,” will bring together students and experts from various fields to examine the growing influence of young people on contemporary social trends.

The event will take place in Amphitheater 203 at 5 p.m., gathering students of the University of Banja Luka, representatives of the student movement in Serbia, as well as lawyer Aleksandar Jokić, activist Aleksandar Žolja and journalist Ljupko Mišeljić.

According to the organizers, a group of students from Banja Luka, the idea behind the panel is to present diverse perspectives on the causes, mechanisms and effects of Generation Z’s impact on society.

“It is a fact that 2025 has been marked worldwide by movements for social change, and young people have initiated and led them everywhere. We want to analyze this phenomenon from different angles — not only activist, but also sociological, legal and media-related. It will be an open conversation about the potential of Generation Z and the challenges it faces, and we hope to see a large turnout of visitors from all backgrounds and age groups,” the organizers stated.

Admission to the event is free, and no prior registration is required.
