As part of the ongoing EMPOWERED project’s commitment to fostering inclusive societies across the Western Balkans, a crucial focus group workshop was recently conducted in Travnik. This session represents a significant step forward in the collaborative development of the Local Inclusion Plan (LIP) for the municipality.
The workshop provided a vital platform for community members and various local stakeholders to actively participate in shaping the future of inclusion in Travnik. Through engaging discussions and feedback, valuable insights and practical recommendations were gathered. These contributions are instrumental in ensuring that the Local Inclusion Plan is truly reflective of the community’s diverse needs and priorities, particularly concerning persons with disabilities. The integration of these local perspectives brings Travnik one step closer to establishing a robust and comprehensive framework for enhanced social inclusion.
The EMPOWERED project emphasizes the importance of grassroots participation and collaborative efforts in driving sustainable change. By engaging directly with local communities, we ensure that strategies and policies are relevant, impactful, and tailored to specific local contexts. Such workshops are essential for building consensus and fostering a shared vision for a more inclusive environment.
The EMPOWERED team extends its sincere gratitude to the Municipality of Travnik for their excellent cooperation and dedicated commitment to this vital process. Their active involvement and support are fundamental to the successful development and future implementation of the Local Inclusion Plan, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and inclusive society for all its citizens.
