I am Blerta Thaçi and I work for the Open Data Kosovo Organization.
2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,740
The Organization aims to provide a space for the youth
3
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:12,760
where they can build their capacities in the technology field,
4
00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:16,780
and this way they can contribute for a more active society.
5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,360
All this can be
achieved through the concept of open data,
6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,880
which offers a space where they can be more
creative,
7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,720
innovative and better prepared for the labor market.
8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,720
In the age of technology, where access to information is very important,
9
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:38,360
citizens have a right to
real time access to information,
10
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:43,680
So, through the open data process they will become more active citizens
11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,300
and will have a better understanding about different processes in the everyday life.
12
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:53,500
The road to major changes is very long and challenging.
13
00:00:53,740 --> 00:00:58,240
In order to keep ourselves motivated
and not give up,
14
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:01,460
we must work with something that we really love
15
00:01:01,460 --> 00:01:03,080
and that we are passionate
about.
16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,160
In my personal experience,
17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:12,600
this is what helped me overcome daily challenges that I have encountered along the way.
18
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:17,280
It has kept me motivated, because technology has been my passion,
19
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,480
and through technology we have accomplished to make certain changes in the society,
20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,800
and we have overcome all the challenges we have encountered along the way
21
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:31,840
by relying on our passion and our motivation to keep working on it every day.
22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,720
Through our work we have accomplished to bring certain changes in different areas of the society,
23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,920
that’s why this is only the beginning, and we will keep working on this mission,
24
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,520
to bring technology closer to the community and the society that we live in.
25
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,440
And you, what can you do for your country’s sake?
