CHILDREN ARE YOUR OWN REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR
The drama school of famous Kruševac actor Dejan Tončić, recommended by mediator Jelica Milosavljević, organised a performance called “Children are your own reflection in the mirror”. They designed the performance, primarily wishing to warn about the bullying in an artistic way. The whole idea is based on an upsetting event that took place in Kruševac last year, when a girl was beaten up by two other girls.
The performance took place in the Culture Centre in Ćićevac on 27th February 2020 at 7 o’clock pm. The Municipality of Ćićevac bought all the tickets, so it was free of charge for all the people who wanted to see it.
Lots of people, both children and parents, from Ćićevac came to the event-the hall was packed.
The first part of the performance was dedicated to the following topics: bullying, family situation of conflict participants and the mediation afterwards. The second part of this public lesson was musical evolution, imitations and the final message.
The performance was designed by Dejan Tončić and Jelica Milosavljević themselves and it represents the warning of bullying and emphasises the importance of mediation after the act of violence in order to settle the conflict in a peaceful manner.
The following teen-actors and actresses took part in the show: Ana Todorović,Milica Bićanin, Katarina Marković, Tomislav Aleksić, Kristina Nikolić, Jovana Radenković, Milena Mihajlović, Vojin Ćirić, Nađa Vučković, Mila Radenković, Marko Stošić and Mila Tončić.
Nikolina, your journalist learned the following things at the „Public lesson“: „The youngest ones need to have carefully established limits and model behaviour in order to make them strong, learn to respect the others and be respected by them in return. The fact is that it is not easy to be a parent, because parents are supposed to be the role models to their children and friends, but educators and authorities as well. There are numerous problems and that is why parents are trying to make up the lack of time and attention by buying expensive things such as modern mobile telephones and tablets. There are some parents who are discontent with their lives and who are trying to heal their frustrations through their children. Their children are A students, with great achievements, but still unhappy due to the lack of approval, love ang hug which they need and want most“.
You need to be very careful when you try to find your children guilty of something and disrespect them for some insignificant things, because YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR OWN REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR.

The Newlyweds
Serbia is a country rich in tradition and religious holidays. The holiday celebrated on the 22 of March is called the Newlyweds. In Ćićevac, this holiday is celebrated every year as a town festivity on the main square, ceremoniously, with a lot of guests from other towns, music, food and drinks. Due to the police curfew because of the corona virus, this year there is no celebration, but we can reminisce this beautiful holiday.
This holiday is dedicated to the memory of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste who died because of their Christian beliefs in the year of 320. All of them were young men and because of this fact it was decided to dedicate this holiday to the newlyweds, young people who just started their life together, who got married.
The custom is for the newlyweds to have guests come to their home for a feast, which is prepared using only fasting food since the Newlyweds are always during the Great Fast, and the guests bring them presents. This is an opportunity for the young housewife to exibit her culinary skills. One of the oldest and most well known customs is for the housewife to get up early in the morning and make special small sweet bread made of wheat flour, which is later covered with honey.There are forty of these buns symbolising the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste. They also symbolise sweet and harmonious marital life of the newlyweds.
The celebration of this holiday intesified in the seventies of the last century.
Likewise, through folk tradition, this holiday can be associated with the White Week when mothers-in-law use to take their daughters-in-law to introduce them to the community, bring them to church or into the community of the married women.
The greatest symbol of this holiday are the already mentioned forty buns. Finally, we can only congratulate all young married couples and wish them a long, lovely and harmonious married life.
