On November 17, Balkans had their second Balkaniada, one of my favorite events!

Balkaniada is a competition, it is like a battle of the chapters, where teens have challenges and tasks to accomplish in order to gain as many points as possible, in a time span of 75 minutes. It is our unique spin on a scavenger hunt! Teens all start at the same time and finish at the same time. Tasks included 3 levels, easy, medium and hard, plus bonus social tasks.

Check out how everything went in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Zagreb and Bratislava!
