Arts Society lecturer, writer and trainer, Elizabeth Gowing has for 15 years had a home in Pristina, where she co-founded an organisation to empower and support local people in need and promote a culture of volunteering and philanthropy.
In this visit she will share with us the things she loves about this little-known but fascinating city. We will learn about the youngest population in Europe in a majority Muslim city whose main boulevard commemorates Mother Teresa – as one of the country’s most famous daughters. She will show us the library which qualified for inclusion in a list of the world’s ugliest buildings, and provide impressions of travellers there in war and peacetime. Â Finally, she will ask you to work out who is being commemorated in Medlin Olbrajt square – and why?
Pristina has a vibrant cafe culture, so join us with a cup 
of coffee beside you to enjoy this voyage of discovery in a city no more than three hours’ flying time from London.
A Zoom link will be sent to members a couple of days before the tour.
