On November 12, 2026, the information center for people with disabilities "Lotos" Tuzla organized a peer session and socializing of young people with disabilities and their parents, which this time was realized through a joint trip to the CineStar cinema in Tuzla, watching the movie "The Widower" and socializing with a joint lunch after the screening.

The activity brought together 17 participants, who had the opportunity to spend quality time together, exchange experiences, talk, and further strengthen their mutual bonds and friendships.

Although going to the cinema and having lunch together are common leisure activities for many people, for young people with disabilities such opportunities have a special significance. Due to architectural, financial, transportation and other obstacles, young people with disabilities often do not have equal opportunities for access to cultural and social content and organized gatherings.

This is precisely why the goal of this activity was to create a space for equal participation, socialization, strengthening self-confidence and mutual support, but also encouraging young people to decide independently how they want to spend their free time.

Peer support is not only talking and sharing experiences - it also means spending time together, developing friendships, feeling accepted and belonging. Each such activity contributes to the creation of a community where young people with disabilities have the opportunity to be active participants in cultural and social life, and not just observers.

The message of this meeting is simple: the right to free time, culture, friendship and fun belongs to everyone. Inclusion begins when everyone has equal opportunities to participate, choose and enjoy community life.

The activity was implemented within the framework of the Peer Support Program for young people with disabilities, with the support of the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Policy, the Tuzla Canton Government, STIL from Sweden and Kynnys ry from Finland and the City of Tuzla.

Because friendship, support, and a sense of belonging have no barriers!
