Anketa o životu mladih

Kancelarija za saradnju sa dijasporom koja radi pri Službi za poslove gradonačelnika Niša pokrenula je istraživanje u kome bi trebalo da, putem interneta, učestvuje 100 ispitanika iz dijaspore i 100 iz matice, starosti od 18 do 35 godina.

Ovo istraživanje sprovodi se sa ciljem da se prikupe informacije o tome kako život mladih u dijaspori utiče na procenu njihovog zadovoljstva životom i socijalne i emocionalne usamljenosti, kao i kakve su te procene kod mladih u Nišu.

.

"Kod nas gotovo i da nema istraživanja u ovoj oblasti, a smatramo da je veoma važno posvetiti pažnju mladima i u dijaspori i u Nišu, njihovim raznovrsnim problemima, a naročito različitim aspektima njihovih života. Poređenje ove dve grupe može da nam ukaže na to da li su mladi u dijaspori, gde imaju veće mogućnosti za lični razvoj, zadovoljniji svojim ličnim životom, emocionalno i socijalno zreliji, ili su usamljeni, jer žive daleko od sredine iz koje su potekli", pojasnila je Tamara Ćirić, šef Kancelarije za saradnju sa dijasporom Grada Niša i pozvala mlade ljude da učestvuju u istraživanju popunjavanjem online upitnika koji se nalazi na sajtu Kancelarije i na brojnim forumima i društvenim mrežama.

Ova kancelarija već je sprovela istraživanje u kome je učestvovalo blizu 1200 posetilaca Sajma knjiga u Nišu, a koje je pokazalo da građani Niša imaju pozitivan stav o pripadnicima dijaspore, kao i o saradnji Republike Srbije sa svojim rasejanjem, ali je pokazalo da su mladi ljudi, u velikom broju slučajeva, neiformisani o ključnim pitanjima o dijaspori.

"Jedan od prevashodnih zadataka Kancelarije za saradnju sa dijasporom u Nišu i dalje će biti informisanje građana Srbije o životu i radu u inostranstvu, kako bi se podigao nivo svesti o ovom pitanju. Rezultati koje ćemo dobiti ovim istraživanjem, ali i brojna istraživanja dijaspore koja smo planirali, biće osnova za buduće analize i konkretne aktivnosti, što bi, na kraju krajeva, dovelo do smanjenja „odliva mozgova", dodala je Ćirićeva.

The Hagia Sophia

The Mystical Light of the Great Church and its Architectural Dress

by Charalambos P. Stathakis

Dear reader, as you run like the rest of us along the dizzy main road, stop, stay aside for a while. Let the others be dizzy, and take the secret underground trail, which will lead you through the dewdrops of the leaves, the crystal smile of the sun, the city’s underground galler- ies, your knowledge, and your feelings, to the doorstep of the Hagia Sophia. Because all dew- drops, all sunrays, and all beauty lead there. That is what you will be told by my friend, the author, whom I am fond of and whom I send you to, Charalambos Stathakis: the doctor, the warm and humane researcher, the scientist devoted to his work and his patients, who has given a series of scientific papers, who, nevertheless, retains a nest of beauty untouched in his heart, which makes him outstanding—even though he is not a specialist in architecture, nor a historian, nor a theologian, nor a Byzantinist—it makes him stand out in all these together and in entirety.
