As part of the EMPOWERED – Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities, Regional Cooperation and Development in the Western Balkans project, a certificate award ceremony was held for 20 participants who successfully completed a vocational training programme designed for persons with disabilities.
The training was implemented by LIR CD, the project partner in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the aim of enhancing participants’ knowledge, developing practical skills, and strengthening competencies that support greater inclusion in the labour market and community life.



Throughout the programme, participants had the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and develop skills tailored to their individual abilities and needs. Through a combination of theoretical and practical learning, they were empowered to recognize their potential, build self-confidence, and take important steps towards greater independence.
In addition to strengthening professional competencies, the programme contributed to the social inclusion of participants by providing opportunities for learning, interaction, and experience-sharing in a supportive and inclusive environment.
The certificate award ceremony was an opportunity to recognize the commitment and achievements of all participants, while also highlighting the importance of investing in education, empowerment, and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities.
Through the EMPOWERED project, we continue to promote inclusion, accessibility, and equal opportunities, believing that knowledge, skills, and support are essential for the full participation of persons with disabilities in the social and economic life of their communities. 💙
