In the premises of the Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization, a ceremonial signing of the donation contract for small school project grants was held!

14.12.2023. was a special day because together we provided grants of 150,000 dinars to support 11 schools through the project "Social inclusion for dignified life of Roma and other vulnerable people in Serbia 2023-2026".

The goal of our project is simple but powerful - acceptance of diversity, development of tolerance and respect for culture and tradition.

We are proud to announce that the following schools will implement these inspiring projects:

- Elementary school "Nikola Tesla" from Velika Plana, Elementary school "22 Oktobar" from Surčin, Elementary school "19 Oktobar" from Kragujevac, Elementary school "Karađorđe" from Velika Plana, Elementary school "Olga Milošević" from Smederevska Palanka, Elementary school "Mirko Jovanović" from Kragujevac , Elementary School "Vojvoda Putnik" from Ripanj, Elementary School "Vuk Karadžić" from Niš, Elementary School "Bora Radić" from Bavanište, Elementary School "Jovan Popović" from Susek and Elementary School "Vuk Stefanović Karadžić" from Kragujevac.

The director of the Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization, Anna Brtka Valent, says that our organization is always open for cooperation and support.

Slađana Jovanović, project coordinator, after signing the contract, points out that "schools should apply for such projects because the needs of students are numerous. We want to provide special support to schools that applied for the first time so that they can continue to work and develop their ideas".

11 schools, through formed teams, participants, young activists, will have the opportunity to contribute to positive changes in their schools and local environments. It will contribute to promoting and improving intercultural education, building understanding, establishing contacts and improving communication between members of different cultures with mutual respect for values, traditions and norms.

Young people will thus become active participants in their communities and in the long term will influence the change in the attitudes of children and youth, parents, teachers and the wider community towards Roma.

Together we build bridges of understanding and support! Education is our driver for respect for diversity.

The project "Social inclusion for a dignified life of Roma and other vulnerable persons in the Republic of Serbia 2023-2026" is financed by HEKS EPER, Switzerland.
