This week Europe's Futures fellow and editor at N1 Television, CNN affiliate for the Adria-Balkans region, Ivana Dragičević talks to Ivan Vejvoda about Europe's youth and the shifting cultural and geopolitical forces that are shaping how young people see the world they are set to inherit. What to make of a trend that sees voter turnout waning while other forms of political engagement surge? Are the young susceptible to algorithms and bad actors found on social media apps that older generations don't use? How can Europe's institutions remain relevant when, to many, they simply do not look like the Europe that young people know? Well known for her work on the multimedia programme Global Fokus, Ivana is a multiple award-winning journalist with over twenty-five years of experience focusing on European and international affairs. She has authored acclaimed documentary films and a book on globalization, global governance, and inequality. An alumna of Reuters Foundation, ARD-ZDF Medien Akademie, Moscow School of Political Studies, the United Nations Academy-Croatia, the Academy for Political Development Croatia and a member of The Trilateral Commission, she has interviewed figures as diverse as Bashar al-Assad and Bob Geldof.

The Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) is an independent institute for advanced study in the humanities and social sciences. Since its foundation in 1982, it has promoted intellectual exchange between East and West, between academia and society, and between a variety of disciplines and schools of thought. In this way, the IWM has become a vibrant center of intellectual life in Vienna.
The IWM is a community of scholars pursuing advanced research in the humanities and social sciences. For nearly four decades, the Institute has promoted intellectual exchange across disciplines, between academia and society, and among regions of the world.
