FESAP encourages education, cooperation and support to strengthen civil society
Forum for education, cooperation, affirmation and support to civil society (abbreviated: Fesap) is an association of citizens founded in 2015. in order to achieve the goals in the field of education and education of Children, Youth and adults, social and health care, science and culture, protection of human rights and gender equality.
In accordance with the goals of the establishment, Fesap, within its regular activities within civil society, as well as activities carried out in the implementation of educational projects, cooperation and support, contributes to strengthening the capacities of children of primary and secondary school age, with a special aspiration to refer the wider community to the problems of children with disabilities and persons with disabilities.
The main objectives that these activities aim to achieve are:
* easy and comprehensive integration of children with disabilities into the wider social environment;
* strengthening the social and emotional relationships between children;
* develop self-confidence and self-esteem in children through self-expression and presentation of their achievements;
* encourage and develop individual skills, initiative and creativity in children with special needs;
* develop mental and working skills through the relationship between imagination and reality.
Through these activities, Fesap, within the educational system, contributes to the progress of solving the problem of stigma, discrimination and prejudice about persons with adaptive and academic difficulties, which are a widespread phenomenon in our society, which adversely affects the recovery and inclusion of such persons and their families in social events. Today, when most treatments and rehabilitations are conducted in the local community, it is important to involve members of the community in the rehabilitation process by having its members carry anti-stigma campaigns or reach the main messages and information about discredited members of the community. Sensitization of local and wider social community is also possible through public presentation of achievements of marginalized groups in all forms of creativity.
A significant activity of Fesap is fostering and developing the values of the multiethnic and Multicultural Society of AP Vojvodina, as a modern European region, on the basis of an open democratic society based on knowledge and the rule of law. These activities are related to the implementation of projects aimed at Children and youth in the lower and upper grades of Primary School and in all grades of secondary school. The aim is to promote and popularize among primary and secondary school students in AP Vojvodina the virtues and values of multiculturalism and multinational, as well as the spirit of tolerance on the topic of ethnic diversity and preservation and promotion of ethnic diversity and cultural identity of National Minorities – National communities of Vojvodina. The direct effects of projects implemented in this area primarily relate to the participants in the project themselves, but also to all those entities that are directly or indirectly involved in the implementation of the project. Bearing in mind that the projects involve the involvement and direct contact of thousands of children and young people, the realization of the projects indirectly has an impact on the wider population in AP Vojvodina, i.e. the Republic of Serbia.
