In 1994 went to Croatia, Rijeka to manage a relief project in collaboration with local women organizations supporting displaced and refugee people. This experience was a turning point and I remained in Western Balkans coordinating relief programs and, later on, development programs in Croatia, Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo, Bosnia Herzegovina; where I live since September 1999. Second turn 2003, leaving international development world and move toward a local innovative experience that is today the owpsee platform. In the last nine years my passions: politics, active resistance and the internet have guided me to build up my knowledge and practices around the intersection of women/gender(s) and ICT; ICT advocacy/policy and social research.

dejan georgievski, information and knowledge - dejan.georgievski(at)oneworldsee.org Born in 1971. Formative years spent in his home-town of Sveti Nikole, where he completed elementary and secondary education. His pursuit of rock and sports stardom failed miserably. Earned a degree in English Language and Literature instead. Soaked in the idea of global revolution from the earliest age, but later revised his position slightly and became democratic socialist. Worked for the imperialist powers for a number of years, but escaped that predicament successfully, and moved to the less lucrative but more satisfying life in the civic journalism sector. Likes American bands and kung fu films. Can be seen zooming around Skopje and Sveti Nikole on his bicycle, or zooming in his car around the Balkans. Lived in Sarajevo for couple of years. Lives and works in Skopje, but would move again, provided there is sufficient reason and room for his guitars.

sejla dizdarević, new media and communication - sejla.dizdarevic(at)oneworldsee.org According to solar time, I am born in April 1977. To me, that often feels different, sometimes it feels like more time has passed since, sometimes less. The former more often. I have started working as radio reporter in Sarajevo in 1993, and stayed on radio until 2003. Then, looking for better life, I have worked for various international organisations, and I have discovered „what I want to be when I grow up“ only some five years ago. Work circumstances led my to learn basic skills of graphic design, and today I make my living with it and I like that. Besides design, I am professionally interested in the Internet too, as a media and as a marketing tool. In my work with owpsee, I have come to know many great people who fight for their issues and beliefs, and this is big decontamination experience for me often inspiring. On my free time, I can watch Star Trek episodes and many other SF series „'till the end of time“, I also like to spend my time in nature, with my friends, and as of recently, what I like the most is spending time with my nephew. My ultimate dream is to move to Australia, or at least to Korcula (and have my own garden, olive trees, little vineyard, boat...).

denis kajić, content and networking - denis.kajic(at)oneworldsee.org In spite of his strong personal conviction that time doesn’t exist, there are official documents claim that he was born on March 14, 1974, in Mostar.
He was a 2nd-grader when teacher Zejna said of him – “strong poisons are kept in small vials”. He held a persistent grudge with the education system until the very end of his own inglorious education. He turned into a punk-rocker at 14 (complete with a Mohawk :)), a moment he considers a turning point of his development as a person.
Antiauthoritarian. The war experience turned him into a deserter and convinced anti-militarist. After the war, he spent several years in Sardinia (Italy) where he worked in green-houses (in the winter) and hotels (in the summer). Ir was in Italy that he got introduced to the theory and practice of anarchism which he promptly accepted as his own political worldview. At the end of the 1990s, returned to Mostar and joined the local social initiatives (Škart Art, Mifoc, Conscientious Objection Campaign, Abrašević, etc.) and participated in anarchist initiatives in the Balkans. The money he saved in Italy was just enough for a used Renault 5 and a computer. He got on the web and soon enough got “hooked” by the internet. He is known to say on the matter: “I love my computer because that is where all my friends live”. Works Linux, thanks for asking. He spends eight to ten hours a day in front of a computer, on average. He writes, works and spreads the propaganda. When not sitting on the computer, he is surely cooking or meditating. In summer months, he grows vegetables – organic, of course - on his plot of land. He is involved in a happy monogamous relationship. If you thing something was omitted here, feel free to attach any of the classic stereotypes related to this type of person and you can’t miss. Lives and works in Sarajevo. He would like to live and work in Istria.

Off line, several training courses, study conferences contributed to increase my knowledge on human rights, development of democracy, civil rights, justice and laws, youth participation and youth policy,etc. Since 2011 I am active at Eunacal Institute (www.eunacal.org) as Web 2.0 Coordinator of Deliberation Students Club and in August started to work at Oneworldsee.org.

vildana muslic, coordinator at Youth Center Ilovaca vildana.muslic(at)oneworldsee.org My name is Vila, and I am as good as a Fairy Queen (Vila is BHS for Fairy)... I was born on Alidžun (the turn of summer in local tradition), on August 9, 1988. As far as the usual formalities are concerned, I went through elementary school as a quiet and well-behaved child, and was straight A student at the nursing school. I study law and hopefully, should graduate pretty soon... I have been a conservative for the most of my life. At the moment, I am slightly more liberal, some would say “ran out of luck”... PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM GIRL!!!
I am rather smart, communicative, sociable, and I don’t worry what others thing of me and my actions. The typical choleric, one could say... I work at the Yout Centre, a work with children, I am President of the local Youth Association, sit on a number of boards, etc... Now, for something of utmost importance: I am very much IN LOVE now!!! Just one more thing - LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED!!!
