„"Textiliada" is an annual event that is now in its eighth year.
The event is dedicated to stimulating discussions at local and national levels. Through media, culture, art, debates and other events, we aim to build partnerships and foster social dialogue to address pressing social issues, especially those affecting workers and young people.
Our event combines social and artistic elements designed to inspire young people, workers and workers to actively engage in decision-making processes that affect the wider community. We strive to raise awareness of the importance of advocating for workers' rights, encouraging participants to step out of their comfort zones and embrace social responsibility. Let's join forces to encourage fundamental changes that lead to a brighter future and better living conditions for all.
Historically, workers have been an integral part of cultural events, significantly shaping the culture of their workplaces. However, today they often find themselves marginalized, culturally and socially excluded.
This year's theme „"Different directions, same goal"“ aims to highlight the different approaches that associations, unions, institutions and authorities at local and national levels are taking to improve working conditions and workers' rights. In addition, we will highlight socially responsible fashion brands, companies, employers and organizations that strive to improve work processes and workers' productivity. Despite the different methods, the single goal remains to create better conditions and a brighter future for all. Without open dialogue and joint action, this goal will remain unattainable.
In light of the recent political changes in Macedonia, changes in leadership positions in ministries and institutions are expected. This raises questions about the future of cooperation, respect for international agreements and observance of signed conventions.
On a positive note, Textiliada 8 will also celebrate successful stories of collaboration at the local, national and international levels. These stories serve as valuable lessons, offering a glimpse into our weaknesses as well as our achievements. Join us as we learn, collaborate and work towards a more inclusive and just society.
Our ultimate goal, enabled through the Cultural and Artistic Center "Textile" - Shtip, is to encourage active civic participation. We strive to put the spotlight on discussions at both the local and regional levels, encouraging partnerships and initiating social dialogue on the most pressing issues in our society, all with the aim of ensuring a dignified life for our citizens.
