We participated in the 3rd RISE Forum of Social Entrepreneurship in Skopje and our team DROPLET won 1st place
This year's 3rd Social Entrepreneurship Forum of the Western Balkans was organized in Skopje – North Macedonia. Citizens Association’ NEŠTO VIŠE is the Local Incubator for BiH on the RISE project and our colleague Adem Lisičić participated in the Forum together with representatives of the youth teams that we train and mentor in the development of socio-entrepreneurial businesses. This year, in addition to the standard part where the teams we have worked with for the past year are presented, and various topics from the field of social entrepreneurship are discussed, for the first time we also had an Alumni RISER competition. The competition was exceptional, but out of all the teams from the Western Balkans, our team DROPLET (representative Harun Šabanović from Brčko) won first place and 5,000 Euros for continuing the development of a system for easier finding blood donors of a certain blood group in the moment of need. Second place and also 5,000 Euros was won by the team “Women on the way” from Serbia.
Representatives of our two teams that we currently support through the #RISE project, Maid Dizdarevic (Bus on time – Tuzla) and Ivana Radić (Mingling – Sarajevo) also participated in the Forum.
Our Colleague Adem led one of the workshops at the Forum where they discussed “Creative approaches to the application of social entrepreneurship to support young people who need help”.
👏 The forum was successfully opened by the Minister of Labor and Social Policy of North Macedonia, the Ambassador of the EU Delegation to North Macedonia, the Ambassador of France to North Macedonia, the Ambassador of Poland to North Macedonia, the Director of the Agency for Youth and Sports of North Macedonia and the Secretary General of RYCO, the team leader ” Project to support the development of social enterprises” and the Director of Pakomak.
