27. Jul 2023.


On Monday, July 24, 2023, starting at 7 p.m. in the premises of the "OPENS" Youth Center, an exhibition of photographs created during the project realized by the Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization in cooperation with the "OPENS" Youth Association through the program "Youth in the Center of a Sustainable Community" was opened for 2023, which is financed from the budget of the City of Novi Sad, City Administration for Sports and Youth - Youth Office.

Each exhibited photo tells a story, what young people can do when they have enough self-confidence and the opportunity to strengthen themselves, to socialize with their peers, to exchange knowledge and experiences, to have places to socialize and to be actors in all social and cultural events.

Young musicians from the music school in Novi Sad "Kreativni M kutak" and the group B13 were responsible for the music and dance program, a fun and cheerful atmosphere with a dynamic beat of drums and guitars and a happy rhythm of dance music.

Dance group B13 was created by supporting children and young people through the project "Support for children who are at risk of being involved in life and/or work on the street", which the project has been implemented by the Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization for 13 years with the support of Stepic CEE Charity, and the group has frequent rehearsals and perform in different cultural stations, youth center and other social events and gladly participate in all other activities.

The music school "Kreativni M kutak" was established in 2010 as an oasis of peace in a corner of the city with the aim of bringing children and young people closer to music in a creative way and to develop their love for music.

The photos on display were created during the implementation of activities on the project "Inclusive - educational activities for young Roma women and Roma returnees based on the readmission agreement" during the period March - July 2023, and the measure that needed to be implemented refers to the empowerment and inclusion of a larger number young people from vulnerable groups. Most of the activities were created within the project "Service Center - Starting point" which is part of the project "Strengthening of national and local systems to support the effective socio-economic integration of returnees in the Western Balkans" funded by the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP ).
