Pojačalo and Creative Mentorship: Podcast Episodes that Inspire
During 2026, to our great pleasure, we established a successful collaboration with one of the most listened to and influential podcasts in our region – Pojačalo, hosted by our alumni mentor Ivan Minić.
Ivan hosted four wonderful participants of the Creative Mentorship for Young Professionals program. Through four special episodes, the audience had the opportunity to dive deeper into their personal and professional stories, and to learn firsthand how the mentorship process shapes careers and brings transformation. In an inspiring way, the conversations highlighted the numerous benefits these young people gained through their participation in the program, while simultaneously promoting the culture of mentorship as a key tool for personal and professional development.
In these special episodes, the audience had the chance to discover the authentic stories of our young leaders and creatives:
- Olga Janković – a talented composer who pushes the boundaries of creative expression through music.
- Maksim Nikiforovski – a writer and filmmaker dedicated to visual storytelling and cinematography.
- Muhamed Smakić – a youth empowerment advocate and experienced creative workshop facilitator.
- Pavle Lazarević – a dramaturg and independent writer in the field of children’s literature.
You can listen to all the podcast episodes on the playlist available on the Creative Mentorship YouTube channel and get inspired by the stories that are changing our creative scene!
The Creative Mentorship for Young Professionals program was supported by the British Council through the Culture and Creativity for the Western Balkans (CC4WBs) project, funded by the European Union. The CC4WBs project aimed to foster dialogue in the Western Balkans by strengthening the cultural and creative sectors for a greater socio-economic impact.
