The final international event of the Erasmus+ project “Intercultural Competences and Innovative Approaches in Working with Refugees and Migrants”, implemented by the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights and Zemljani – Are You Syrious? from Croatia, with the support of the European Union, was held in Belgrade on 30 June 2026 at Kafe klub 16.
The event brought together colleagues from Serbia, Croatia and North Macedonia, creating a space for regional exchange of experiences on integration, interculturality and work with refugees and migrants.
During the event, the key project results were presented, including the digital handbook on intercultural competences and innovative approaches in working with refugees and migrants, presented by Dragan Đuričić from Zemljani – Are You Syrious? and Jelena Ilić Stojadinović from the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights.
A joint educational video was also presented, showing examples of successful refugee integration in Serbia through concrete life stories.
As part of the panel discussion “Experience of Working with Refugees in the Context of Interculturality and Integration”, we discussed challenges and good practices in working with refugees, the importance of intercultural competences, as well as what refugees bring to the local communities they arrive in.
The panel speakers were: Maja Negrojević from Jesuit Refugee Service Serbia, Vlada Sjekloća from the Centre for Crisis Policy and Response, Aleksandra Efremova from the Macedonian Young Lawyers Association, who shared the perspective from North Macedonia, and Andrijana Miljković from the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights.
We would like to thank all participants, panellists, partners and colleagues from the region who contributed to this project and the final event.
