📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Avlija održivog razvoja d.o.o. is a social enterprise for professional rehabilitation and employment of persons with disabilities, established by Caritas Šabac. For over 20 years, Caritas Šabac has combined social protection services and social entrepreneurship, creating employment opportunities for marginalized groups. As one of the leading social enterprises in Serbia and the region, it enables beneficiaries to develop work skills, independence, and employability. The concept of Avlija održivog razvoja started in 2015 through occupational therapy programs, where beneficiaries engaged in agriculture and food production. Today, Avlija održivog razvoja is a fully operational social enterprise that includes: ✔ An ethno restaurant, ✔ A kitchen for food production, ✔ A fruit and vegetable processing facility, ✔ A distillery, ✔ Greenhouses for vegetable cultivation, ✔ Hospitality and tourism services.

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
