Vizualnu interpretaciju teme zastupljenosti i rodnih odnosa, dodatno je obogatila izložba poznate fotografkinje Viviane Urre.
Događaj je zaključen obraćanjem prof. dr. sc. Lidije Kos-Stanišić uz naglasak na važnost kontinuirane suradnje između akademskih i diplomatskih aktera, a kvaliteta programa potvrdila je kako dijalog između Hrvatske i Čilea nadilazi razmjenu iskustava i predstavlja zajedničko ulaganje u demokratske modele koji prepoznaju da uključivost ne samo kao posljedicu kvalitetnog upravljanja već kao njezin preduvjet.

On 5 May 2026, the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Zagreb hosted a roundtable discussion entitled “Representation and Female Leadership in Chile and Croatia”, conceived as a platform for bringing together academic reflection and diplomatic dialogue on women’s political leadership as a key dimension of contemporary democracy.
The event was opened by the Dean of the Faculty, Prof. Dario Nikić Čakar, PhD, who emphasized the importance of maintaining continuity in the organization of programmes that draw attention to relevant social and institutional issues. In his opening remarks, H.E. Rodrigo Donoso, Ambassador of Chile to the Republic of Croatia, stressed that the exchange of experiences between countries such as Chile and Croatia represents not merely a comparison of different contexts, but also a meaningful contribution to the critical reflection on effective and inclusive public policies.
The dynamic and comprehensive discussion highlighted both the tensions and the interdependence between institutional reforms and social norms. Moderated by Nina Jerković from the Diplomatic club, the roundtable featured contributions from Marija Pejčinović Burić, former Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Croatia and former Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Assistant Professor Marjeta Šinko, PhD, and H.E. Rodrigo Donoso.
The discussion continued with the active participation of students, further highlighting the role of the academic community in fostering open, critical, and intergenerational dialogue on social change.The visual interpretation of representation and gender relations was further enriched by an exhibition by the renowned photographer Viviana Urra.
The event concluded with remarks by Prof. Lidija Kos-Stanišić, PhD, who emphasized the importance of continued cooperation between academic and diplomatic actors. The quality of the programme confirmed that the dialogue between Croatia and Chile transcends the exchange of experiences and represents a shared investment in democratic models that recognize inclusiveness not merely as a consequence of good governance, but as a fundamental prerequisite for it.
