I choose my freedom - Biram svoju slobodu

The podcast series “I Choose My Freedom” explores various aspects of social cohesion. The war of the 1990s divided the former Yugoslavia, resulting in the creation of seven smaller countries, with deep divisions not only between them but also within them — along ethnic, cultural, and religious lines. Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has always been multicultural, became a symbol of all possible divisions. Even here in Australia, many people of Balkan origin remain deeply divided, feeling safest within their own cultural communities. However, Australia is a multicultural country that, through its diversity, promotes tolerance, respect, and social cohesion. In this podcast, I would also like to highlight many inspiring examples of Bosnians and other peoples who, through marriage, friendship, collegiality, and business — in other words, through love and respect — are building bridges toward others and those who are different. - Serijal podcasta "Biram svoju slobodu" istražuje različite aspekte društvene kohezije. Rat 90-ih podijelio je bivšu Jugoslaviju, rezultirajući stvaranjem sedam manjih država, s dubokim podjelama ne samo među njima, već i unutar njih po etničkim, kulturnim i vjerskim linijama. Bosna i Hercegovina, koja je oduvijek bila multikulturalna, postala je simbol svih mogućih podjela. Čak i ovdje u Australiji, mnogi ljudi balkanskog porijekla ostaju duboko podijeljeni, osjećajući se najsigurnije unutar vlastite kulturne zajednice. Međutim, Australija je multikulturalna zemlja i kroz svoju raznolikost promoviše toleranciju, poštovanje i društvenu koheziju. U ovom podcastu željela/o bih također istaknuti mnoge inspirativne primjere Bosanaca i drugih naroda koji kroz brak, prijateljstvo, kolegijalnost i poslovanje – drugim riječima, kroz ljubav i poštovanje – grade mostove prema drugima i onima koji su drugačiji.
