Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the association “Serbia in Motion” organised the 39th Belgrade Ignite called “Get Involved No. 5” dedicated to social inclusion.

39. Beogradski Ignite - Dragana Jovanović ArijasThe Fifth Belgrade Ignite on social inclusion was opened by Dragana Jovanović Arijas, Deputy Manager of the Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, who welcomed the visitors, presenters, and organisers and thanked them for sharing sparks of inspiration. To symbolize this, she handed the participants sparklers which they could then ignited from one another.

The visitors of the Belgrade Ignite had the opportunity to hear presenters’ personal stories and how, with their everyday efforts, they are trying to build an equal society for all and find answers to questions such as: how does active aging prolong youth; how to develop skills of children without parental care; what does a day in the life of a LiceUlice magazine vendor look like; how do migrant children live and go to school; can girls be rock stars; is there freedom after serving a prison sentence; who are the people providing support to women with disabilities; which are the everyday problems faced by trans persons in Serbia; how to empower people with disabilities through programming; how did one young woman become a successful entrepreneur.
