Prof. Hristina Muratidu is an associate professor at the Academy of Arts, University of Novi Sad. She will deliver a lecture entitled “Playing with Crisis: Applied Theatre as a Safe Path for the Search of Meaning,” where she will discuss the transformative power of applied theater. During the lecture, participants will become co-authors and co-actors, exploring the depths of human experience through improvisation and creative expression.

Mag. psych. Iva Žegura is a clinical psychology specialist at the “Vrapče” Psychiatric Clinic in Zagreb. She will deliver a lecture entitled “LGBTIQ+ people: from margins to the resiliency” which will highlight the importance of affirmative healthcare for LGBTIQ+ individuals. She will discuss an approach to healthcare of the highest standard, respecting the dignity and right to self-determination, personal, physical, and mental integrity, autonomy, and well-being of LGBTIQ+ persons. She will address why it is important for such healthcare to be based on evidence, clinical guidelines, and standards that should be a priority in all European healthcare systems.
The Congress will also be an opportunity for the ceremonial presentation of awards by the Serbian Psychological Society to its distinguished members. The plan is for the Congress of Psychologists of Serbia 2024 to be accredited as a professional development event for employees in education and social work.
