MIKSER AT EU OPPORTUNITY WEEK: Pazar as a Hub for European Opportunities!

The Novi Pazar Cultural Center was the place where ideas turned into concrete plans on April 23rd! As part of EU Opportunity Week , specifically on the day dedicated to youth and education, we held a panel that proved there are no boundaries for creativity. Under the slogan “You Can Do It Too,” we shared our experiences with EU projects and announced what everyone is eagerly anticipating – Mikser Festival 2026! 

From June 5th to 7th , Novi Pazar will transform into a massive cultural stage. You can look forward to:  Concerts, performances, talks, exhibitions, workshops across multiple locations and guests from all over the world. This panel served as the perfect overture to June’s explosion of creativity and confirmed that our youth have a vision worth supporting.

Ivan and Maja Lalić from Mikser, moderated by Nusreta Brunčević , presented the European projects “Next Gen Design” and “Urban Lab.” These innovative programs will be implemented during the festival, which this year carries the inspiring theme NEW WORLD (NOVI SVIJET). 

Young designers and creatives will have the chance to connect with colleagues across Europe, develop skills, and receive concrete support for their innovations. Together with professionals and the general public, we will explore how design can transform urban spaces and make them better places to live. 

Don’t miss out on these opportunities: Design competitions will open leading up to the festival, while the call for volunteers is already open! If you want to see behind the scenes, meet the team, and gain experience in organizing a major event, now is the time to apply. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us and showed that Pazar has the energy for great European stories. Your curiosity and talent are the key ingredients of our “New World”.

See you at Mikser Festival from June 5th to 7th to push boundaries together and meet incredible potentials of our Novi Pazar!
