Nobody knows any more that they're alive, that by being alive they have a chance to experience anything they want… at least in Western society.
Sploh nobeden ne ve, da živi, da mu je samo s tem, ko je živ, dano, da izkuša vse, kar hoče… vsaj v zahodni družbi.
People are turning themselves into slaves, although they fight against it and then bitch and moan if you tell them they're slaves.
Ljudje se sami delajo sužnje, čeprav se zato borijo in se potem še pizdijo, če jim rečeš, da je suženj.
I'd like to move in with my girlfriend and have enough for everyday life.”

14.19 Mateja, 29, employed in the Parliament
14.19 Mateja, 29 let, zaposlena v parlamentu
“I come from Trzin, a small settlement, some 4500 people… I have a brother, three years older.
»Prihajam iz Trzina, manjšega naselja, 4500 ljudi … Imam 3 leta starejšega brata.
At primary school I ran the school radio, I was very active in various competitions, the Vega (mathematics), Pregl (chemistry), I was a state champion in the Merry School competition, in the mountaineering competition Mountains and the Young, I competed in the Slovenian language and so on.
V OŠ sem vodila šolski radio, zelo sem bila dejavna na različnih tekmovanjih, Vegovo, Preglovo, bila sem državni prvak v tekmovanju, imenovanem Vesela šola, v planinskem tekmovanju Mladina in gore, hodila sem na tekmovanja iz materinščine in podobno.
I graduated from the Bežigrad Grammar School, where I also took part in various societies and courses.
Končala sem Gimnazijo Bežigrad, kjer sem prav tako obiskovala veliko krožkov in tečajev.
I enrolled partly because the school provided a Japanese course, which I attended for two years.
Tja sem se vpisala tudi zaradi tečaja japonščine, kamor sem hodila dve leti.
So I went to an Italian course.
Takrat je bila to najboljša šola v Ljubljani.
After grammar school Mateja vacillated between psychology and journalism, but eventually decided to study journalism because the profession itself seemed more dynamic to her:
Po srednji šoli se je odločala med študijem psihologije in novinarstva, za novinarstvo pa se je odločila zato, ker se ji je zdel sam poklic bolj dinamičen:
“I was interested in journalism anyway, in Trzin I was contributing to the local paper.
»To pa me je itak zanimalo, saj sem v Trzinu sodelovala že pri lokalnem časopisu.
Otherwise, as a journalist you're a universal ignoramus, you know a little about everything.”
Sicer si pa kot novinar univerzalni nevednež, veš malo stvari o vsem.
She fulfilled all her obligations more or less regularly.
Vse obveznosti je opravljala bolj ali manj sproti.
As a graduation candidate she responded to a tender for associates in an applied educational project, and the project coordinator invited her to participate:
Kot absolventka se je prijavila na razpis za sodelavce pri izobraževalno-aplikativnem projektu in koordinator jo je povabil k sodelovanju:
“We prepared 3 manuals for the education of pupils and students within the project.
»V okviru projekta smo izdelali 3 priročnike za izobraževanje dijakov in študentov.
When the project was completed, I searched for new opportunities.
Ko se je projekt iztekel, sem iskala nove priložnosti.
At that time I also graduated.
V tem času sem tudi diplomirala.
Then I found a new tender at the Student Club Association of Slovenia, for a PR job; I applied and was selected.
Potem sem našla nov razpis na Zvezi študentskih klubov Slovenije za delo PRovca (osebo za stike z javnostmi), na katerega sem se prijavila in so me izbrali.
There I met quite a few people and considerably extended my social network.
Tam sem spoznala kar nekaj ljudi in si močno razširila socialno mrežo.
Then I became a trainee in the Office of the Prime Minister.
Nato sem se zaposlila kot pripravnica v kabinetu predsednika vlade.
I stayed there until 2008, right during the period of the Slovenian EU Presidency, and worked in the PR field - for instance, I helped prepare the news and other material for the website.
Tam sem bila leta 2008, ravno v času predsedovanja Slovenije EU, kjer sem prav tako delovala na področju stikov z javnostmi, - pomagala sem na primer pri pripravi novic za spletno stran in drugih gradiv, ki jih PRovci pripravljajo.
When the National Assembly was formed in 2008, I was invited to work as a PR representative in the parliamentary group, and this is how I got into the Parliament.
Ko se je konstituiral državni zbor v letu 2008 , sem bila vabljena, da bi opravljala delo predstavnice za stike z javnostmi v poslanski skupini in tako sem prišla v parlament.
Now I'm in charge of media communication for the parliamentary group, I convene press conferences and organise their implementation, I design news for the website, prepare press releases, organise interviews in the local media… in short, I do everything related to the parliamentary group communication with the public.”
Zdaj skrbim za komuniciranje poslanske skupine z mediji, sklicujem novinarske konference in skrbim za njihovo izvedbo, oblikujem novice za spletno stran, pripravljam sporočila za javnost, organiziram pogovore v lokalnih medijih, ... skratka, počnem vse, kar se tiče komuniciranja poslanske skupine z javnostmi.
My work day is dictated by journalists and their requests for statements, talks, interviews, but also by MPs, for whom I prepare various materials or coordinate their appearances in the media.
Delovni dan mi kreirajo novinarji s prošnjami za izjave, pogovore, intervjuje, kreirajo mi ga tudi poslanci, za katere pripravljam različna gradiva oziroma z njimi usklajujem nastope v medijih.
My work contract is connected to their term of office, and after four years it is terminated.
Moja pogodba je vezana na mandat in po štirih letih se mi delovna pogodba izteče.
On the other hand, I think that abroad it's an advantage if you worked in the Parliament.”
V tujini pa mislim, da je prednost, da si delal v parlamentu.
Mateja claims that “being a PR person is a way of life”, and her private life is organised accordingly.
Mateja pravi, da je »biti PRovec način življenja«, in v skladu s tem je organizirana tudi njena zasebnost.
Her job demands that she is available to journalists, MPs and others with whom she comes into contact as part of her work practically all the time.
Služba od nje zahteva, da je novinarjem, poslancem in drugim, s katerimi prihaja v stike zaradi delovnih obveznosti, skorajda ves čas na razpolago.
This, however, does not mean she cannot find any time for herself.
To sicer ne pomeni, da si ne more vzeti nekaj časa tudi zase.
Despite the tight schedule she manages to find enough time to attend a Spanish course, occasionally she swims and is thinking of enrolling in an Irish dancing school.
Kljub napornemu delovniku najde čas za obiskovanje tečaja španščine, občasno hodi na plavanje, razmišlja pa tudi, da bi se vpisala v šolo irskega plesa.
Furthermore, she is learning jyotish astrology, which helps an individual understand karmic laws and organise his or her life.
Poleg tega se je vpisala tudi na djotiš, vrsto vedske astrologije, ki posamezniku pomaga pri razumevanju karmičnih zakonitosti in v organizaciji življenja.
Her private-life schedule is also partly dictated by her partnership; she and her partner jointly plan the time they can spend together - mostly weekends.
Njen urnik nekoliko narekuje tudi njeno partnersko življenje, s partnerjem pa sproti prilagajata čas, ko sta skupaj - pogosto je to ob koncu tedna.
Mateja believes that the anxiety of young people nowadays is mostly related to employment.
Mateja meni, da je glavna stiska mladih v sodobnem času povezana z zaposlitvijo.
In her opinion the employment situation for the young is unfavourable, but due to the complexity of the problem it would be hard to name the main culprit or find a solution:
Razmere glede zaposlovanja mladih so po njenem mnenju sicer neugodne, vendar je zaradi njihove kompleksnosti težko poudariti glavnega krivca oziroma rešitev problema:
“The entrepreneurial environment is well set up.
»Podjetniško okolje je sicer nastavljeno vredu.
You can register a company in five minutes, and this involves fewer costs than before.
Obstaja možnost, da si v petih minutah organiziraš podjetje, in tudi stroškov je manj kot včasih.
Young people have wider possibilities than in the old days.
Mladi imajo več možnosti kot včasih.
They just have to seize opportunities, but this is up to each individual.
Samo zagrabiti jih je treba, kar pa je odvisno od vsakega posameznika.
I personally don't like it when people moan and blame the state for their failure.
Razumem, da so razočarani, samo ne moreš pa vedno drugje iskati krivca.
Informal education has a special role in this:
Pri tem ima prav posebno vlogo neformalno izobraževanje:
“A great deal depends on the primary social network of young people, their peers and friends.
»Veliko je odvisno od družbe mladih oziroma njihove primarne socialne skupine, vrstnikov in prijateljev.
Every group provides socialisation and certain kinds of knowledge.
Vsaka skupina vrši socializacijo in oblikuje neka znanja.
Informal knowledge should be related to the formal, in order to get closer to the young.
Neformalna znanja pa bi morala biti povezana s formalnimi znanji, da bi se mladim približali.
Informal knowledge should be given a chance to be cashed in.”
Neformalna znanja morajo dobiti možnost, da se unovčijo.
Any ideas how?
Imaš idejo kako?
“Ahmmm… a certificate testifying to a specific informal skill as part of the resume when looking for a job.”
Hmm… spričevalo neformalnih znanj, na primer, kot referenca pri iskanju zaposlitve.
Although in Mateja's opinion young people are too strongly oriented towards material goods and “five minutes of glory”, she sees the future as relatively bright and positive:
Čeprav so mladi po njenem mnenju danes usmerjeni preveč materialistično in v »5 minut slave«, pa vidi prihodnost razmeroma svetlo in pozitivno:
“Vocationally trained young people will have better prospects, as there are actual needs for those professions in the society.”
»Prosperiral bo profil mladih, ki bodo poklicno izobraženi, saj v družbi obstaja dejanska potreba po teh poklicih.
On the other hand I also wish I had my own centre for helping people.
Na drugi strani je moja želja tudi, da bi imela nekoč svoj center za pomoč ljudem.
It would be nice to have children, too.
Fajn bi bilo imeti otroke.
But at this moment my career is more important to me than children.
Sicer ta trenutek bolj gledam na kariero kot pa na otroke.
In certain ways I'm happy, and in others I'm not.
V določenih pogledih sem srečna, v določenih pa ne: Recimo, rada bi živela v svoji hiši, pa nimam te možnosti.
For instance, I'd like to live in my own house, but I don't have this possibility.
Imam sicer svoje nadstropje v hiši pri starših in to je to.
I do have a whole floor in my parents' house, and that's that.
Sumarično priznam, da nisem dosegla nekaterih stvari, za katere je družbeno normirano, da bi jih pri teh letih morala.
To sum up, I must admit I haven't achieved certain things I should have by my age - by society's standards.
Nimam recimo družine, ki bi jo po družbeni normi pri 29 pa že morala imeti.
But personally I'm quite content and happy.”
»Za vsakega pač pride čas, ko se obrne na boga.
14.20 Natalija, 25, young religious believer
14.20 Natalija, 25 let, mlada vernica
“Natalija is a person who… often doesn't know what the goal of her life is, and then it seems as if she were drifting from one thing to another.
»Natalija je oseba, ki je ful takšna… da velikokrat ne ve, kaj v življenju je cilj, in potem, kot da bi jo nosilo od ene stvari do druge.
Then she finds herself, like, and she's happy, and then again she falls, and it's boring… and yet it's worth living a life that's fascinating and surprising.
Vmes se potem najde, pa je vesela, potem pa spet pade, pa je dolgočasno… kljub vsemu je življenje, ki je fascinantno in presenetljivo, vredno živeti.
Am I making any sense?”
Sem zabluzila?«
Natalija sees herself as a dreamy person interested in spirituality, she appreciates science, likes to read anything related to personal growth and psychology as well as novels.
Natalija sebe vidi kot zasanjano osebo, ki jo zanima duhovnost, ceni znanost, rada bere vse, kar je povezano z osebno rastjo in psihologijo, pa tudi romane.
She says she is extremely curious and there is hardly anything she cannot develop an interest in.
Pravi, da je izjemno vedoželjna in skoraj ni stvari, ki je ne zanima.
She also likes music, theatre, choir, solo singing and other forms of artistic expression.
Rada ima tudi glasbo, gledališko igranje, pevski zbor, solo petje in druge oblike umetniškega ustvarjanja.
Natalija comes from the village of Dekmance in the vicinity of Bistrica ob Sotli.
Natalija prihaja iz vasi Dekmance v okolici Bistrice ob Sotli.
She has a younger brother who studies at the faculty, her mother is a tailor and her father a professional driver.
Ima mlajšega brata, ki še vedno obiskuje fakulteto, mama je šivilja, oče pa avtoprevoznik.
Her mother has been out of work for quite a while.
Mama že nekaj časa ni zaposlena.
She left her job in order to dedicate herself to the children, and has since taken care of the home and family.
Službo je pustila, da se je posvetila otrokoma, in od takrat naprej skrbi za dom in družino.
Her father is a private entrepreneur; he is a professional lorry driver, mostly works in the field and returns home for the weekends.
Oče je samostojni podjetnik, ukvarja se z avtoprevozništvom in veliko dela na terenu, domov pa se vrne po večini ob koncu tedna.
Natalija's family lives on a farm, they have a few cows, pigs and hens; the farm work is mostly done by Natalija's mother and brother.
Natalijina družina živi na kmetiji, imajo nekaj krav, prašiče in kokoši, za kmetijo pa po večini skrbita Natalijin brat in mama.
She describes the financial position in her family as good, but adds that the money situation used to be better:
Materialno stanje svoje družine je Natalija opisala sicer kot dobro, dodaja pa, da je bilo včasih z denarjem nekoliko lažje:
“… Dad keeps moaning how he used to make money more easily and how times used to be better.
»… oče vedno bolj pojamra, da je včasih lažje zaslužil in da so včasih bili boljši časi.
But on the other hand I see he's buying unnecessary stuff.
Čeprav po drugi strani pa vidim, da kupuje nepotrebne stvari.
The other day he bought ten cartons of fruit juice.
Zadnjič je kupil deset kartonov soka.
Mum, too, she's the same.
Pa mama tudi, ista je.
She's buying heaps of food, which we then don't eat.”
Hrano kupuje v ogromnih količinah, potem pa je sploh ne pojemo.
“I often remember the calm and wisdom of my grandfather… he was a very spiritual and wise person.
»Večkrat se še spominjam umirjenosti in modrosti starega očeta… bil je zelo duhoven in moder.
I felt it when we were sitting in front of the house and he was telling me about things from his life, about the war… his house was always full, he had many relatives.
To sem doživljala, ko sem z njim sedela pred hišo in mi je razlagal stvari iz svojega življenja, vojne… vedno je imel polno hišo ljudi, saj je imel veliko žlahte.
It was very hard for her at primary school; as she had spent her entire childhood at home, going to school was a major shift.
V osnovni šoli ji je bilo izjemno težko, saj je vpis za Natalijo, ki je celo otroštvo preživela doma, pomenil velik preskok.
Eventually she grew used to it, although her feelings related to primary school remain a bit mixed.
Sčasoma se je sicer navadila, kljub temu pa so njeni občutki, povezani z osnovno šolo, nekoliko mešani.
After finishing primary school she enrolled in the Secondary School of Economics in Celje:
Po končani osnovni šoli se je vpisala na Srednjo ekonomsko šolo v Celju:
“… drinking years, a lot of socialising and little school.
»… pivska leta, več je bilo družabnega življenja in malo šole.
Terrible, I was living totally against myself, if I look back now.
Grozno, zelo mimo sebe sem takrat živela, če zdaj pogledam za nazaj.
I was very much under the influence of my friends.
Zelo me je potegnila družba.
But I think one has to live through this and then see it's not right for you.
Mislim pa, da moraš dat to čez, in vidiš, da to ni dobro zate.
As if I'd lost part of my value then… for example, when my maths teacher caught me with a bottle of wine in hand… That was really the time I was trying to find out who I was.
Kot da sem takrat izgubila del svoje vrednosti… ko me je na primer učiteljica matematike zalotila z litrom vina v roki… To je bil resnično čas, ko sem iskala samo sebe.
Hard times.
Težki časi.
I was also very rebellious, which affected my parents.
Bila pa sem tudi zelo uporna, kar je vplivalo na moje starše.
It often happened that our gang were drinking in Celje and took the last train home, but we still hadn't had enough.
Zgodilo se je, da smo najprej s prijatelji popivali v Celju, potem se odpravili proti domu z zadnjim vlakom, pa še ni bilo dovolj.
We had to go on with the binge in Bistrica… but I did meet a lot of people, hitchhiked a lot…”
Treba je bilo popivati še v Bistrici… sem pa spoznala tako veliko ljudi, pa štopala sem veliko…«
“After secondary school I took the matriculation course and met a girl who said she was going to study theology.
»Po srednji šoli sem šla na maturitetni tečaj in v tem času sem spoznala punco, ki je rekla, da gre na teologijo.
I asked her what that was; I myself had no idea what to study.
Vprašala sem jo, kaj je to, saj sama sploh nisem vedela, kam naj grem.
She told me it was the study of God and showed me the syllabus.
Rekla mi je, da je teologija veda o bogu, in pokazala mi je predmetnik.
I was totally surprised, there was a great deal of sociology and psychology, I've always been interested in spirituality and God, although we weren't religious at home.
Bila sem totalno presenečena, veliko je bilo sociologije in psihologije, duhovnost in o bogu me je vedno zanimalo, čeprav doma nismo bili verni.
I was also fascinated by our parish priest and his view of the world… I was diligent in Sunday school, of course, I always did the homework and this left a mark on me.
Celo naš župnik me je fasciniral s svojim pogledom na svet,… pri verouku sem itak bila pridna in sem vedno naredila domačo nalogo in to je na meni pustilo velik pečat.
Religious education was important to me, but I somehow forgot about it and we never went to church… Not that I felt badly about the church, I simply felt no need.
Verouk mi je bil pomemben, sem pa nekako pozabila na njega, v cerkev pa tudi nismo hodili… ne da bi imela slabo mnenje o cerkvi, samo nisem čutila potrebe.
And then everything came back to me and I decided on theology.
Takrat se mi je vse vrnilo in odločila sem se za teologijo.
I was very interested in the Scripture anyway.”
Sveto pismo pa me je itak tudi zanimalo.
But she was furious:
Bila pa je besna:
“Then I stayed at home for a year.
»Potem sem bila še eno leto doma.
I had a year to myself, I studied German, although I failed again.
Imela sem leto za sebe, učila sem se nemščino, čeprav je spet nisem naredila.
I went and registered at the Employment Agency, I took a computer course and once more started doing various things, I learned runes, divination from cards… that year was hard, I was at home all the time and missed school… I didn't know what was going on, I was totally excluded from any action.
Prijavila sem se na zavod za zaposlovanje, naredila sem certifikat za računalništvo in se spet začela ukvarjati z različnimi stvarmi, izdelavo run, šloganje s kartami… tisto leto mi je bilo mučno, skoz doma in pogrešala sem šolo… Nisem bila na tekočem in totalno izključena iz dogajanja.
Terrible.”
Grozno.
“Wow, this exists, too, earlier on I didn't know there were such religious groups.
»Uuu, to tudi obstaja, prej sploh nisem vedela, da obstajajo redovne skupine.
I applied and got a place with the Ursuline Sisters.
Prijavila sem se in dobila prostor pri sestrah uršulinkah.
It was very interesting, I had to obtain a note from the priest that I was going to church and was trustworthy.
To mi je bilo ful zanimivo, saj sem morala dobiti od župnika potrdilo, da hodim v cerkev in da sem vredna zaupanja.
My brother took me to the hall a few days before the academic year started.
Brat me je pripeljal v dom nekaj dni pred začetkom faksa.
The hall representative told me about the life there and the regime, and I thought she was kidding me.
Predstavnica doma mi je predstavila življenja in režim v domu in mislila sem, da se heca.
She said I had to be in by 10.00 pm, that no boys were allowed inside; this sounded the most ridiculous... and terrible.
Rekla je, da moraš biti do 22.00 notri, da ne smejo noter fantje, to mi je bilo najbolj smešno… in grozno.
And everything was so… peaceful.
Pa tudi vse je bilo tak… mirno.
If you went down the stairs, everyone could hear you… the first week I was there the hall representative herself told me to find another place to live, with school sisters, for the walls were thicker there and I was too loud for them.
Če si šel po stopnicah, se je vse slišalo, na primer… prvi teden, ko sem bila tam, mi je ona sama rekla, naj grem rajši v kaki drug dom, k šolskim sestram, ker češ, da so tam zidovi debelejši, ker sem pač za njih preglasna.
The girls who were there were very serious, very quiet, and I noticed I wasn't like that.
Punce, ki so bile tam okoli mene, pa so bile res zelo, zelo mirne in opazila sem, da nisem takšna.
I'm energetic, I like to go for a beer, have a smoke, and I realised I really was different.
Sem energična, rada grem na pivo, kaj skadim in videla sem, da sem res drugačna.
I didn't change, and one evening my roommate came to me and suggested we talk.
Nisem se spremenila in en večer je prišla cimra do mene in mi predlagala, da se pogovoriva.
She told me I really was too loud and was disturbing their life rhythm.
Povedala mi je, da sem res preglasna in da motim ritem življenja.
Life in the Ursuline Sisters hall does not force students to engage in the activities in the hall, but if they want to, they can.
Življenje v domu uršulink ne sili študentk, da se vključujejo v življenje v domu, če pa študentke to želijo, pa jim je seveda omogočeno.
Natalija took this opportunity.
Natalija je to možnost izkoristila.
In the second semester of her freshman year she started truly participating in the hall life, and was particularly active in the Sinai Catholic Centre:
V drugem semestru prvega letnika se je resnično vključila v življenje doma, še posebej pa se je posvetila delu v katoliškem centru Sinaj:
“We read the Bible there, I took part in the drama group, the choir and met many people.
»Tam smo brali Sveto pismo, sodelovala sem pri dramski skupini, pevskem zboru in spoznala veliko ljudi.
“I spent 4 years there, and then I felt I needed a step forward.
»Tam sem bila 4 leta, potem pa sem opazila, da potrebujem korak naprej.
I wanted to meet more people.
Hotela sem spoznati več ljudi.
I was thinking about what it was like at secondary school.
Razmišljala sem, kako je bilo v srednji šoli.
I felt isolated and limited to the Catholic Centre.
Zdaj pa sem se čutila izolirano in omejeno na katoliški center.
I learned many things, but I missed people.
Veliko stvari sem se naučila, samo ljudi sem pogrešala.
Now I live in a student residence hall and don't go to the Catholic Centre much.
Zdaj sem v študentskem domu in ne hodim več veliko v katoliški center.
I can't say I miss the crowd there, I have a feeling I experienced what I needed to, it was just a stop in my life.”
Ne morem reči, da jih pogrešam, ker imam občutek, da sem tam dala skozi, kar je bilo potrebno, to je bila samo postaja v mojem življenju.
She herself says she's an intimate believer, and that this is the path every human being must walk alone:
Natalija zase pravi, da je intimno verna in da je to pot, ki jo mora vsak človek prehoditi sam:
“You must constantly nourish your relationship with God.
»Odnos z Bogom moraš skoz negovati.
For example, when I feel I'm out of balance with myself, I find peace in nature, and nature for me is an act of God.
Ko začutim recimo, da nisem v ravnovesju sama s seboj, grem največkrat v naravo in ta narava je meni delo Boga.
