Annual Report 2021

The year 2021 was a significant milestone for PDCS and was a year-round celebration of our "30 years of PDCS". You can read the summary of what we achieved and which programs and topics were in our focus in our annual report.
Listen to our podcast Why Minorities Behave Differently?
Daryl Davis and Stano Daniel. Two men, activists, who do belong to minorities in their countries. Do they, despite their social status, middle-class income, education and relative comfort they live in, feel like they belong to minorities? Zuza Fialová asked them during the conference The Power of Cities, why oppressed people behave differently and why it is sometimes so difficult to understand each other.
The podcast has been recorded during the live conference in October 2022. Discussion was a part of the conference within the program The Power of Cities in Bratislava.
Podcast How Germany Deals with Hooligans
Within series of 30th anniversary of PDCS we talk with Stefan Schützler (Germany), good friend of ours with experience in social work with hooligans and homeless people. You will hear why the pandemic affected so badly the homeless and the other weakest people in Germany, what has changed in the attitude towards the homeless. We also discuss hooligans and what it takes to tackle the problem of radicalization of football fans. And in the end is the most beautiful compliment PDCS has received as a congrats to its 30th anniversary.
Podcast Bridgebuilders in a Polarized World
In the series of podcasts for the 30th anniversary of PDCS, we continue with an interview with our colleague and friend Julia Roig on peace, conflict resolution and democracy in America and elsewhere in the world.
Bringing People Together (podcast with Daryl Davis)
In the Bringing People Together podcast, our friend, musician and activist Daryl Davis talks about the fact that music is not a luxury, it is a necessity in our lives. It does not need an interpreter, it helps us, rejuvenates and regenerates. The aggressors who shot in the schools never went to music classes.
