As part of the fifth edition of the ZaNa Festival, beyond the poetry nights, several activities were organized with the aim of empowering youth and including diverse groups in the creative process.
6 “Za” Creative Writing Workshops were held, where young poets developed new poems inspired by this year’s theme – “On the Way”. In addition to the creative process, participants received training in writing theory and stage reading. Their poems will be published in a digital book, as a testament to their dedication and artistic voice. Additionally, 3 workshops were held with youth with Down syndrome from Mitrovica, bringing art and free expression closer to everyone. These inclusive and sensitive workshops reflect the festival’s mission to promote inclusion.
