Let us imagine Banat for a moment in which democratic principles rule and institutions function properly, Banat in which no one mentions denied human rights because mutual recognition and tolerance exist. Banat that is so green that ecology is a term we coexist with, Banat that births artists like grain and Banat in which people understand importance and necessity of each of these terms. Seems impossible?
We are the ones that think it is possible!
Confronted with inconceivable insufficiency of mentioned crutial elements necessary for the physical and mental health we have recognised the call for help from the environment we live and create in. As a response to that cry for help we have gathered around the idea of a complete turning point for the ways of civic activism up to this point. That is, full and public transparency of work, not the demagogy of daily politics, open doors for all citizens, not an army under some form of centralized command, real, visible progress and distancing from any sort of populism. Thus, not a reaction to the consequences but an action against the causes.
We belive that personal happiness cannot be grasped if only one individual is happy but if the entire society is happy and with our activism we want to make our Banat happier day by day. We are the ones that will stay here and will change the environment from within rather than go somewhere else. Aleksa Šantić once said :
"Stay Here! The sun of the foreign skies shall
not warm you like this one does;
The taste of bread is bitter there
where no one of yours is, and where your brother is not"
