Kolašin, Montenegro – Alfa Centar Nikšić, partner in the EMPOWERED project, recently conducted a successful training session in Kolašin, bringing together representatives from local associations, social work centers, and the Municipality of Kolašin. The clear objective of this gathering was to collectively strengthen capacities for the effective implementation of the Empowered Western Balkans initiative.
This event represents more than just a project meeting; it serves as a foundational platform for shaping local policies that will authentically address the needs of persons with disabilities (PwDs) and significantly advance social inclusion within the Kolašin community. During the training, participants discussed vital advocacy strategies that directly involve the community in decision-making processes.
Alfa Centar Nikšić emphasized that the active participation of associations, local authorities, parent representatives, and all interested parties is crucial for creating a truly inclusive environment. Through such collaboration, it is ensured that all initiatives are grounded in real needs and perspectives.
Through the EMPOWERED project, collective efforts are being made to strengthen the legal framework and improve the living conditions for persons with disabilities and their families. The mission is to create policies based on actual needs, and therefore, the engagement of every stakeholder is indispensable. Such gatherings, like the training in Kolašin, solidify cooperation and bring us closer to creating a more just society.
Alfa Centar Nikšić extends its sincere gratitude to all participants for their dedication and commitment to creating positive changes together.
