What does it mean for you to be free?

A transmedia project by Causa Creations in collaboration with Radio Racyja that attempts to collect strictly anonymous statements via the internet.

It will ask cititzens and expats from Belarus one simple question: What does it mean for you to be free?

With this seemingly simple question we want to find out what many citizens in the West have long forgotten: What does it mean, if someone is being denied their very basic civil rights? Or does life in the West hold just different restriction for the individuum?

Starting on the 25th of March we call upon those who want to voice their opinions either on the pages of Radio Racya only Belarusian or site Causa Creations Belarusian, Russian, Polish and English.

The query, conducted in a safe and anonymous manner, will generate a database of statements.
