I am Lazar Tasić (30) from Vranje, currently living and working in Belgrade. I’m a Bachelor of Art History and Master of Film and New Media Theory. I gained experience working as an ESL teacher, museum curator, and social media manager, and I am also an amateur radio host, actor, and director. I am currently employed as a project assistant in a non-governmental organization, working on projects related to sustainable development and the social economy, with a special focus on young people and marginalized groups. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a certified peer educator and a participant in a psychotherapeutic support group for gay men. I am especially proud to have taken part in the first international queer volunteer camp in 2023 in Berlin, where I also had the opportunity to try myself as a drag performer. Through the Human Rights Leadership Program, I would love to combine my passion for podcasts, drag, and queer culture and art into a project that would encompass all of these through community empowerment, either by collaborating with existing organizations or by forming a new one. I believe that such initiatives can further strengthen the queer community, as well as my own civic and activist potential in the fight for a just and equal society.
