The “Connecting” Association has initiated the educational programme “When I Grow Up I Will Be a…”, focused on career education. The camp “When I Grow Up I Will Be a….” was opened as part of this project on Thursday, 9 August 2018, at Mokrin House. During the week ending on the 14^th it provided 14 extremely motivated teenagers from South Banat, Niš, Kragujevac and Novi Sad with the opportunity to hang out, exchange experiences and prepare for independent and prudent decision making on starting their own business, continuing their career or education.

The central part of the educational programme “When I Grow Up I Will Be a…” covers a six-day camp where teenagers actively, with experts from various areas, take part in a five-phase process of professional orientation covering experiential learning, workshops and peer-networking, re-examination and acquisition of skills necessary for working in the 21^st century. In addition to the camp, the project also covers workshops in secondary schools, “Edu Challenge” events, knowledge fairs and media conferences. The shooting of a documentary film “Education for the 4.0 Revolution” has been announced as a collaboration of mentors, selected participants, volunteers and partners.

The partners of this important and renowned project are the “Nikola Tesla” School of Electrical Engineering, the “23. maj” Technical School from Pančevo, the Youth Office of the City of Pančevo, the Centre for Socially Responsible Entrepreneurship, Mokrin House and Via Academica, with considerable support provided by the City of Pančevo, the Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit of the Government of the Republic of Serbia (SIPRU), the National Association of Practitioners of Youth Work (NAPOR), the Youth office of the City of Pančevo, EU projects, Youth Achievements, Infostud, Danijela Commerce d.o.o. and numerous media, institutions, enterprises and organizations from the territory of the City of Pančevo.
