Between 15 and 17 September 2019, a meeting of trainees and mentors participating in the POWER project held in Herceg Novi, Montenegro. During two days, trainees and mentors gathered from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, the countries where the project is being implemented.
The meeting was an great opportunity for the participants to get know each other, share their knowledge, experience and skills, as well as to talk about the benefits of this project and all possible ideas for continuing the story of fighting and promoting the employment rights of persons with disabilities.
The POWER project is implemented by Caritas of Bosnia and Herzegovina in cooperation with institutions and organizations from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro and is funded by the European Union under the IPA - Cross-border Cooperation Program Bosnia and Herzegovina - Montenegro.
The project employs 21 people with disabilities from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. The job descriptions they handle are varied, ranging from working in non-governmental organizations, student support offices, kitchens, printing, and other places. Youth for Peace is one of the organizations involved in the project, which employs one person to strengthen the capacity of our organization through its presence.
