Women’s Weekend once again presents inspiring topics and authors at Book Club by Women’s Weekend, taking place on March 7 and 8 at Rijeka City Library. This event will bring together authors and offer workshops and educational sessions that connect literature, art, career development, and personal growth.

In collaboration with five French Alliances in Croatia, the book is accompanied by a special program titled “Under the Parisian Sky”, offering a musical-poetic experience and a roundtable discussion on the role of art and art therapy. Nera Stipičević, an academic actress and member of the ZGK Komedija ensemble, connects theater, music, literature, and fashion in her projects, advocating for women’s mental health, authentic living, and personal growth.
