The Centre LIVING UPRIGHT originates from a programme of psycho-social and counseling support to people with disabilities. It was initiated by the Belgrade office of the French humanitarian non-governmental organisation Handicap International.

PROGRAMMES AND ACTIVITIES:

The Equality programme is based on our efforts to influence media reports on issues concerning people with disabilities. It involves research and publications on disability and different strategies of opening and supporting services that Novi Sad lacks at the moment. We initiated an organised transportation service and in July, 2009 we started a service of personal assistance, where we mediate in providing support in education and employment.

The Youth programme was initiated in 2005. It involves trainings of peer educators on issues of disability, health preservation, human rights, youth work and different skills development trainings. Our educators organise school workshops, plays, presentations, street performances and public actions. One of our projects is also the Peer Counseling Centre for Children and Young Persons with Disabilities, their Parents and Caretakers.

The Accessibility programme began in 2007 in order to inform the public on accessibility standards and advantages of Design for All. We organise trainings, campaigns, translating professional literature, publishing and consulting. We also participate in local and national initiatives of promoting a strategic approach and legal regulations in this area, as well as in international networks.
