Deadline: 15 June 2024
Klara i Rosa is inviting you to apply for a second edition of a seven-day women’s activist retreat program, which will take place in the natural environment in Utrine, Serbia, in July 2024.
The importance of empowering and supporting female activists, artists, cultural managers, and project coordinators, who often work in precarious and insecure working conditions and are often victims of burnout, is poorly spoken about, and rarely recognized. Endeavor to motivate, inspire, initiate, and lead actions, often endanger mental and physical health, and consequences remain invisible when not taken care of. Let’s not forget all the other roles and tasks women still have to perform while dedicating themselves to initiating social change. The idea behind the project comes from their activistic experience where they are often at the edge of their strength, in search of understanding, creative support, and grounding. That’s why they designed a seven-day retreat for renewing energy in a natural environment and recharging batteries in a safe women’s circle.
