As International Women’s History Month came to a close, events across Slovakia highlighted women’s contributions to society, from science and politics to art. In Trenčín, the Hviezda Cultural Centre hosted a four-day Women in Art Festival, featuring discussions, exhibitions, workshops, and performances. Our report features interviews with festival organizers, local artist Natália Okolicsányiová, and South African rapper Yugen Blakrok. Meanwhile, the Alma Good Education Festival in Zvolen brought together educators, parents, and experts to discuss improving education. On the opening day, Hugo Gloss, co-founder of the Dekk Institute, presented research on social cohesion and its impact on education — and we spoke with him about the latest trends in Slovakia today.
