Various small-town businesses have also signed up for the Slovenská Tepláreň initiative, including the Pivnica pri studni restaurant from Detva. There, on Saturday, December 3, Slovenská Tepláreň will intertwine with the Tepláreň Nahlas discussion series. The evening will begin at 6 p.m. with a discussion aptly titled "Extremism for All?". The former head of the Human Rights League, lawyer Zuzana Števulová; coordinator of programs at the Mládež ulice civic association, social worker and therapist Karin Andrášiková; transgender DJ Matia Lenická (B-Complex); and Milan Zvada, the representative of the cultural center Záhrada will discuss their own experiences with extremism, as well as ways to combat it. The discussion will be moderated by Zuzana Wienk.
After the debate at 8 p.m., a punk drum and bass concert will begin, where The Wilderness, B-Complex, and Vydrapená Bužírka Punk System will perform.
On Monday, December 5, Tepláreň Nahlas will move to the music-literary-art-film café Na Kus reči in Levice. Psychology student Soňa Senéšiová; activist and local MP Vladimír Kuny; head of the Matej Bel Institute Ábel Ravasz; and rector of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava Bohunka Koklesová will lead a debate titled "Human Rights for All". Moderated by Zuzana Kovačič Hanzelová.
The appeal Som Tepláreň – Bezpečné miesto (I Am Tepláreň – Safe Space) initiated by Tepláreň itself is still ongoing, and so is the collection of signatures for the appeal Ide nám o život (Fighting for Our Lives) that can be found here.
