Ambassador Award 2023 - KUJU Studio from Kosovo for the "Best Art Production of the Year"

Exit pres. Mental health

EXIT festival has been working on promoting mental health awareness for years – both the mental health care of their employees, as well as festival visitors.

People who work in creative industries are continually exposed to stress due to the particular nature of this work. Statistics confirm this, stating that around 75% of people working in the festival industry had at some point experienced anxiety, depression, burn-out, or stress-related health issues.



Exit created a context in which all the people work for the festival will be able to work in pleasant conditions and work atmosphere, which is the main responsibility of Well-Being sector.

During the year, employees will receive psychological and emotional support, for which Exit prepared mental health professionals with years of experience. During the festival, the team of professionals joined by several psychologists and psychotherapists, in order to cover all potential needs and take care of people. People care refers to both the people from the organization, as well as performers, should the need arise.

EXIT Festival takes care of its visitors as well, with Srce NGO in charge of psychological support for our guests. It is a center for suicide prevention and our cooperation has been great over the years. The trained volunteers of this organization provide support to the visitors at the festival itself, as well as the festival camp. Well-being activities, such as mindfulness, meditation, AA meetings, yoga classes etc., are being organized in the camp, as well.



World-renowned speakers have talked to tens of thousands of people at the Main Stage, with supportive speeches pointing out the importance of taking care of each other, as well as waking up the feeling of compassion and mutual understanding among the people regarding the individual differences and difficulties that we meet in the modern society. 


Take care of yourself, take care of others and this world will be a much nicer and better place to live! 


One of the values of the festival is surely its enormous potential to create a different consciousness with entire generations of young people, concerning the whole spectrum of mental health; to keep sending the message that it is okay to ask for help and how it is impossible for everyone to feel great at every moment of their lives, even though it is something we all seek.

Movie - "Free Tekno" - world travelers who organize illegal parties in the forests

Free Tekno is a journey into the true underground of illegal underground techno festivals in Central Europe. The director travels with a group of Dutch and Irish young men who organize  illegal rave parties  in the forests of  Germany  and the  Czech  Republic. This is called the  underground   that is often written or referred to, but we rarely see it. As one interviewee puts it:   "We don't want money to profit, we do this out of love and be at a positive zero; if we make money, we use the money for travel or vacation expenses." "How many  parties  like this are made in which we are at all times exposed to the police shutting down music and confiscating equipment, but when you live for  electronic  music and have  enthusiasm , you do not think about blue caps" -  a director with Gunnar Hauth.

Tillt Radio Record Store, Prishtina, Kosovo

Tillt Radio  is a new record store in Prishtina, opened 1 year ago. Located at BOHO in Prishtina's square, Tillt Radio record store is a very  warm place  where you can go  hang out , dig the crates for  vinyls  and enjoy  listening to music.  A while ago, I took a trip to Prishtina to meet a friend and surprise her with a vinyl from her favorite label, Klockworks I got for her birthday. That day was all about music and vinyls so, while i was there, i decided to go and visit Tillt Radio record store. I was very happy and excited for visiting the first record store in my life . I've bought vinyls before, from online record stores, but crate digging for vinyls, is a different feeling. There's nothing like crate digging! We needed a record store like Tillt Radio. I went there around 4 PM. I met Strella. He informed me about his record store and the genres he provides. There were various genres from pop, rock, blues to old electronic music. You can find some of the best
