Networking of new members of the ‘Rural Employment’ Project

Etno Network organised in November a meeting for new member candidates, interested in joining the association. Among the interested candidates were representatives of ethno crafts producers from Zrenjanin, Guča, Zlakusa, Boljevac, Soko banja and Razanj as well as representatives of Golubac municipality – a partner of the project and a good practice example how joint efforts of government and civil sector can contribute to women employment and promotion of tourist potentials, through preserving cultural identity of the local rural areas.

All the representatives have recognised Ethno Network as an organisation that can help them introduce quality standards both in production and in education on traditional techniques trainings. Benefits of the network have also been recognised through advantages in joint approach to institutions and potential donors as well as material procurement and promotion activities.

One of the major goals of the Ethno Network’s project ‘Employment in Rural Areas’ is promoting the organisation and expanding the numbers of top quality ethno crafts producers using traditional techniques of the old craftsmen. This project is funded by the European Union, through RSEDP2 Grant Scheme.
