TOGETHER - DIFFERENT

In collaboration with the Cekom organization from Zrenjanin and with the support of the Independent Cultural Scene of Serbia (NKSS) through the program "Powered by Ourselves," we carried out the project “Together – Different".

.

This project focused on working with children aged 10-15 – one of the most vulnerable and often neglected groups in our community. In local areas such as Zrenjanin and Subotica, young people in this age group almost have no opportunities to participate in programs that encourage creative expression, empowerment, and development.

.

During our visit to Zrenjanin, we organized a creative drama workshop for children, as well as a panel with educators on the challenges faced by this age group. In Subotica, through a panel discussion with youth workers, we further highlighted the important issues affecting young people in this demographic, pointing to the need for well-conceived, long-term programs. In addition to workshops held by the Zrenjanin team in Subotica, we concluded the project with a performance of the play "All Those Lonely People," performed by members of Cekom.

.

This experience demonstrated the potential of collaborative work and partnership approaches in improving social conditions for young people. The exchange of ideas, creative energy, and enthusiasm from all participants has further motivated us to continue creating new programs and activities that will allow young people to feel valued and supported.

.

The project “Together – Different” represents a first step in this direction and an impetus for further actions aimed at building a solid support network for children and teenagers in our communities.
