Licej

The non-governmental organization "LICEJ" (hereinafter: the Lyceum) is a non-governmental, non-profit, non-political, and professional association founded in 2007 to achieve goals in the fields of education and culture. Through our actions, we have promoted the strengthening of institutions, their modernization, information, and motivation of citizens, the democratization of access to information and knowledge, inclusive processes, and environmental protection. Numerous recommendations from faculties, embassies, and associations show the quality of the association's work in continuity. We see it as our task to continue this work in the future. The main activities of the association are in the areas of awareness raising, culture, and education. The organization is particularly committed to regional cooperation in order to preserve the unique culture, exceptional geographical diversity, and globally significant biodiversity of the Balkan region. The association has carried out a large number of projects of importance to the community and, as part of its publishing activities, has issued numerous publications, including those of great importance. The Lyceum also dealt with issues of inclusive education as an innovation in the Serbian school system and until 2011 organized the inclusive project "Multimedia Workshops", which was nominated by the Library of the City of Belgrade and the Pedagogical Society of Serbia for the Prize of the City of Belgrade. This project, in which thousands of students participated, resulted in a book published in cooperation with "Službeni glasnik", a public company of the government RS: Recommendation of the Director of the Belgrade City Library, Ms. Jasmina Ninkov: @As the Director of the Belgrade City Library, I have followed and supported the beginnings and development of the project of the Association "Lyceum" entitled "Multimedia Workshop on Writing Crime Novels". The workshop takes place on the premises of the libraries "Neven", "Petar Kočić" and "Dragan Lukić", in cooperation and with the great support of all employees, as well as in Belgrade primary and secondary schools, and finally in the virtual spaces of electronic media and Internet communication. The workshop is designed in such a way that students are divided into competitive groups, where each child contributes, as achieving the set goal requires different types of talents, inspiration, and skills. The workshop was accompanied by a serious media campaign aimed at informing not only the students - potential participants, but also the general public, the Ministry, schools, and social centers. work, associations for the disabled, the publishing house "Službeni Glasnik", foreign embassies, and cultural centers. The first goal of all the activities of the workshop is to simultaneously arouse the interest of parents, school institutions, and students, who should be encouraged to participate massively in the workshop blog, commenting and recommending their own and other people's works. The next stage is the selection of the best stories and illustrations, followed by the printing of the book, promotional activities, and press conferences. For us, as a cultural institution, the task of this project is particularly important to increase the reading rate and library visits among students. I would like to add that I was particularly impressed by the indirect way in which the revitalization of libraries is achieved: First, the young people are invited to participate in them through familiar and popular forms of communication and social activities - membership in a group on the social network Facebook and activity on the blog, indeed, later they would find themselves naturally and of their own accord in the premises of the libraries of our city and among real, dusty books. In this way, a perfect combination of old and new ways of thinking and living was achieved, which do not exclude each other, but must interpenetrate and complement each other. Therefore, I recommend the workshop "Multimedia Workshop for Writing Crime Novels" for the City of Belgrade Award and expect future editions of stories created thanks to this workshop, as well as new events inspired by the workshop in our capital. I note that this program has an inclusive and multidisciplinary approach, it combines several areas that need to be worked on in order to achieve the final goal - written and published books. Our experts in the field of inclusion are speakers for the certified expert conference "Position of students with disabilities in the education system of the Republic of Serbia". In addition, the Association has a team for inclusive education, composed of teachers who teach at the Secondary Vocational School - a vocational secondary school for students with disabilities. The team had a remarkable appearance at the V International Conference "Multidisciplinary Approach in Education and Rehabilitation" - Sarajevо, 2022 with an original scientific exhibition. The organization applied for the EU TACSO 3 P2P program and organized the Green Wave conference on September 23- 24, 2021, with the participation of 63 organizations from the region working to protect human rights. The result of the conference was a document: cooperation agreement and code of conduct. The organization is extremely active in issues related to environmental protection and the transition to a circular economy. We had several notable appearances on these issues in the Assembly of the Republic, in the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, at meetings, etc. We cooperate very closely with the Society of Special Educators of the Republic of Serbia and were represented as experts at the 5th International Conference "Multidisciplinary approach in education and rehabilitation" in Sarajevo, June 10-12, 2022, with an original scientific lecture "Integrative approach in the education of students with disabilities" and 4 poster presentations ISBN -43-0. As a collaborator of the project "Together we can achieve more", implemented by the Secondary Vocational School for students with developmental disabilities, we have exceptional cooperation with the colleagues of the partner school "Schools for Secondary Vocational Education and Work Training" from Sarajevo, as well as our students with their classmates from the partner school. We exchanged experiences in working with children with developmental disabilities and laid the foundation for future cooperation. We were the vehicles of interactive activities in the online environment during the Covid pandemic and were declared the organization that achieved the best success under the circumstances.
