MagDA – 1st Edition
November 28, 2024
Dear reader,
Welcome to the first edition of MagDA – Magazine of Dialogue Academy, which is born from the shared vision of the Dialogue Academy Alumnae, an inspiring group of women from Prishtinë/Priština and Belgrade. This magazine is not just a mere publication but the beginning of a continuous beautiful journey, fuelled by our belief in the power of young people to lead, drive and collaborate for meaningful change.
The name “Magda” often means “tower” or “elevated,” which is linked to strength and dignity. We have embraced this symbolism to reflect our mission: just as a tower is built one brick at a time, we aim to raise awareness and understanding, one edition at a time. With each article, essay, poem, and illustration in this magazine, we contribute to its structure, creating a space where ideas can grow and connect. In this first edition, we are thrilled to present a variety of content. You will find essays, articles, poems, and illustrations exploring topics from personal stories of resilience, transitional journalism and justice, body image to the broader societal issues. For each piece, we dearly wish to offer you moments of reflection and inspiration!
