LAI is a think-and-do tank established as a response to society’s grassroots needs for an alternative voice based on liberal activism. Founded in 2012, it provides an innovative approach to already much discussed topics in the lights of democracy, good governance and social activism.
The alternative LAI offers stems from the international experience of the founding members whose ideas blend the western liberal thought with the traditional local values. This is our recipe for presenting new alternative solutions.
Our activities include: Events (conferences, round tables, debates, campaigns, workshops, seminars, trainings), Research and Policy Analysis. The focus of our activities is: Human Rights, Public Policy, Historical Dialogue, Media, Euro-Atlantic Integration, Balkan Politics, Gender Issues, Youth Empowerment and Education, with a special emphasizes on parameters such as local governance and inter-ethnic relations.
Our projects are driven by two main components: Inter-disciplinarity which brings together different disciplines that enhance each other in explaining an issue and providing a solution for it, and Multi-perspectivity which forms basis for unbiaseness and transparency.
LAI tries to bring a multi-disciplinary approach in its research activities in order to inform better the policy-making institutions and its attempts are to concentrate in strategic thinking rather than operational details.
