How Does Reconstruction Women`s Fund Function?
At the seminar we dealt with the issues of rights and responsible and transparent spending of our money by the state, while this workshop will deal with our own responsibility and obligations when spending money that is not ours. The workshop will not offer ready-made solutions, final definitions, or answers to all the questions we might have. The goal is to understand how does a foundation function, and as an example we will take the financial model of Reconstruction Women`s Fund. Each participant will have a practical task to make a simple, clear and precise budget based on this example (for a start).

MOVE IT, SISTER – BROTHER!
Theatre techniques we use at the body and voice workshop are well adjusted and usable in everyday life situations: how we breathe, take up the space, become visible and important. In three hours of brain and muscle exercising, we will try to empower ourselves and our voices and conquer the space that belongs to us, both private and public space. We will learn not to be nervous when speaking in public, to listen well, to share and rejoice!
