The Parents’ Association of Children with Developmental Disabilities, “Budi mi prijatelj” (Be My Friend) in Jablanica, launched with the support of PRAGG project, continues to live on through concrete steps in the community. Among those who supported the work of the first inclusive center in Jablanica is actor Dragan Marinković Maca, who, in his recognizable style, called on citizens to get involved.

His call to support the work of the first inclusive center in Jablanica once again underscores the importance of ensuring that such initiatives continue to grow even after their formal conclusion. Through the campaign, valuable knowledge, strong partnerships, and community support have been established, providing a solid foundation for continued development and concrete change on the ground.

This story shows that initiatives do not end with the completion of a project; on the contrary, this is often when their most important phase begins, as the community takes the lead and continues to build a space of equal opportunities for all. The PRAGG project aims to empower citizens to mobilize their communities and to lead and sustain these processes even after formal support has ended.
