Psychology Week held at HKS

Psychology Week was held at the Catholic University of Croatia on March 12 and 13, 2026, as part of the Psychology Night event. Over the course of two days, visitors had the opportunity to take part in a rich and diverse program primarily aimed at students and high school pupils.

The program included a series of lectures and workshops covering various areas of psychology - from emotions, creativity, and romantic relationships to organizational psychology, resilience, motivation, and everyday life challenges. The content was designed to bring psychology closer to young people in an engaging and accessible way, while offering opportunities for learning, reflection, and active participation.

A special contribution to the program was made by guest Ena Rajić, who, through the talk “When Psychology Finds a Voice: Ena Rajić on Spoken Word Poetry, Satire, and Her Personal Journey,” introduced participants to the intersection of psychology, artistic expression, and personal experience. Her appearance further enriched the program and opened space for reflection on the importance of authentic expression, creativity, and finding one’s own voice.

A particular highlight was also the morning visit of the Petar Pan Kindergarten on March 12, organized by Associate Professor Sandra Nakić Radoš, PhD. On that occasion, the children took part in various activities and experiments, discovering the world of psychology in a playful, educational, and age-appropriate way.

Members of the organizing committee included assistants Patrik Grubor, Monika Knežević Dijanović, and Katarina Užarević, while an important role in the organization was also played by the Psychology Students’ Club Hexis, as well as volunteers whose effort and enthusiasm contributed to the successful realization of the program.

We thank all lecturers, workshop leaders, students, and visitors who took part in this event and, through their participation, showed how important it is to create space for discussions on psychology, mental health, and topics closely related to everyday life.
