UG Dah Teatar

Some performances are meant to entertain. Others are meant to shake people awake. Dah Teatar, based in Belgrade, Serbia, belongs to the second category.

In 1991, as Yugoslavia teetered on the brink of war, two directors in Belgrade made a choice: to confront the coming darkness with creation. Dijana Milošević and Jadranka Anđelić founded Dah Teatar, a company committed to using theatre as a form of resistance and healing.

Over the decades, Dah Teatar has remained steadfast, blending theatre, dance, and visual arts to craft performances that challenge oppression and champion human rights. Their work isn’t confined to the stage; it spills into the streets, engaging communities in dialogues about justice and resilience.

For survivors of gender-based violence, words often fail. Fear keeps them in check. Shame keeps them quiet. Dah Teatar knows this well. Their approach? Socially engaged theater, where the act of speaking is itself an act of rebellion.

In Serbia, they will host an intensive theatre workshop, bringing together survivors, facilitators, and artists. Theatre has been a tool for survival, for resistance, for truth-telling. Dah Teatar is making sure it stays that way.

Their goal? To create paths to dignity, self-sufficiency, and belonging.

Through their long-standing partnerships with public institutions, universities, and social organizations, N.E.T. ensures that the FADO approach extends beyond the project’s lifetime, embedding itself in policy discussions, educational curricula, and grassroots movements.

Beyond its national efforts, N.E.T. has deep European collaborations, particularly in the fields of fair finance, cooperative economies, and community-driven initiatives.

Asociación Bienestar y Desarrollo (ABD)

Founded in the 1980s amidst the challenges of widespread drug use and the AIDS pandemic in Barcelona, the Asociación Bienestar y Desarrollo (ABD) has dedicated over forty years to defending the rights of individuals in socially fragile situations.

Emerging from a collective of professionals and volunteers, ABD has expanded its reach across Andalusia, the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, and Madrid, addressing a spectrum of social issues with unwavering commitment.

ABD began in the chaos of the 1980s, when addiction and the AIDS crisis gripped Barcelona. It wasn’t just an organization then—it was a lifeline. Over the years, it grew, adapting to meet the needs of those society overlooked. Today, it works across Spain, tackling everything from drug harm reduction to family support, gender violence prevention, and migrant integration. Their Energy Control program helps keep nightlife safe. Their Preinfant initiative walks alongside young mothers who need a second chance. Their work with survivors of domestic violence is more than just support—it’s about helping individuals to reclaim their futures.

With over 100 programs and 125,000 people helped each year, ABD doesn’t just talk about social change. It builds it, one person at a time.
