“The festival, which was postponed last year due to flooding, is coming back stronger than ever. With twice as many participants and a significantly increased budget, the organization is highly demanding and will take place across three different locations. I believe this will be the biggest \u017deNERA<\/em> so far, with the widest impact,”<\/strong> emphasized Dina Ali\u0107.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

This year\u2019s edition is supported by strong international organizations such as the IOM, the Ecumenical Women\u2019s Initiative from Omi\u0161, and the Global Fund for Women.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

The festival will open on Friday, May 30, at 6:00 PM at the Cinema Hall of the National University in Konjic, with the play \u201cActivism Under the Stars\u201d<\/em> performed by the Dignitet Association from Mostar.

\u201cThe Super Nera<\/em> Award this year will be presented to Amra Gaki\u0107.

These include Biljana Gavran (Fojnica), Dr. Alma Budim-Hondo (Jablanica), and the Croatian Cultural and Artistic Society Gromiljak (Kiseljak). <\/strong>The Women\u2019s Association \u2018Nera\u2019 will also present the Solidarity in Action<\/em> award to Aj\u0161a \u0160olji\u0107 for her initiative to protect cemeteries in the flooded areas. The traditional Solidarity in Action<\/em> award, given annually by the \u2018Nera\u2019 Association, will remain a surprise and will be announced during the official award ceremony,\u201d<\/strong> said Ali\u0107.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”21406″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]\n

On the second and third day of the festival, activists will spend time in nature, with a focus on returning to \u201cauthentic communication without technological aids.\u201d On Saturday, a rich program will take place at the Visit Konjic Outdoor Resort,<\/strong> explained Ali\u0107.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

“On Saturday, activists can look forward to the following program: outdoor activities and socializing in nature, including the opportunity for women to climb the via ferrata with support from the Konjic Mountain Rescue Service. There will be a panel discussion on women\u2019s mental health during the floods in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a tour of Tito\u2019s Bunker, and a screening of the film ‘Kitchens and Wars’<\/em> by Bojana Minovi\u0107 from Serbia, which portrays women\u2019s resilience after disasters. <\/strong>The day will also feature the performance ‘Coffee with Anti-Fascist Women’<\/em> by Maja Vasi\u0107, a prominent activist from Novi Sad; ‘Story Circles’<\/em>, safe spaces for informal conversation and experience-sharing among activists, aimed at strengthening the women\u2019s movement; and an evening program around the campfire with poetry readings and a performance by singer-songwriter Alma Abdagi\u0107.”<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

\u201cSunday is reserved for Blace,\u201d<\/strong> Ali\u0107 added.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
