Welcome
A Few Words About Us
Kolektiv Z is working towards achieving a more just and equitable society. The key approach of the network is an intersectional approach where we work by pointing out and understanding how the different forms of systemic injustices and oppressions intersect and allow the power structures to often operate together in a complex and cumulative way. We use this as our approach to act towards system change and social justice.
Kolektiv Z started its work through Young Friends of the Earth Macedonia, as part of the Young Friends of the Earth Europe volunteer network of young people and youth groups working collectively for environmental and social justice.
Intersectionality
The interaction between gender, race and other categories of difference in individual lives, social practices, institutional arrangements, and cultural ideologies and the outcomes of these interactions in terms of power.
Justice
Uncovering all the structural injustices happening, from broken systems of oppression and increasing inequalities on every aspect of our societies, to man-made disruption of our ecosystem.
Feminism
To address the root causes of the crisis, the strategies must be based on feminist principles and break through historical oppression.
Solidarity
We practice meaningful allyship with other movements beyond the environmental movement, and stand in solidarity to amplify the voices of grassroots struggles and communities.
Community
If you want to go quickly, go alone, if you want to go far, go together! Only by working together across generations and sectors we can make major, far-reaching just changes for the generations to come.
our main
approaches and methodologies
Intersectional approach
Pointing out and understanding how the different forms of systemic injustices and oppressions intersect and allow the power structures to often operate together in a complex and cumulative way.
Collective visioning
Creating solutions, actions and even the movement itself. We believe that in order for us to change the system, there has to be an act of togetherness in visioning what we want our system to be, and then co-creating it together.
Popular education
Collectively and critically examining experiences and raising consciousness for organizing and movement building, acting on injustices with a vision in the interests of the most marginalized.
