ON COMMONALITY: MENTAL CLARIFICATION – HOW TO BREATHE IN A DIVIDED SOCIETY?

Uncertainty, insecurity, violence, information overload, societal divisions, fear among colleagues and acquaintances, accumulated anger, and a sense of injustice—but also hope on the streets. How can we, individually and collectively, preserve mental health in such times? How do we deal with feelings of responsibility, fear, anger, and the need to act?

Civil society, democracy, law, and order are not foreign concepts—they are the foundation of any society that seeks stability, justice, and development. Can they be a part of Serbian society? The success of student blockades, as well as any struggle for a fairer society, depends on the persistence, courage, and engagement of all of us. Democracy doesn’t come from the top down—it is built from the bottom up: through insisting on responsibility, through a culture of disagreement without hate, through small but consistent changes in everyday life.

Kroz ovaj program želimo da jačamo osećaj zajedništva, kritički promišljamo i delimo iskustva, ideje i prakse, inicirajući razgovore na različite teme i probleme koji su prisutni u našem društvu i gradu.
