Access to the town remained a concern
Association president Biserka Božić said participation also required changes in the surrounding community. She described inaccessible streets and called for disabled people to speak about their needs. “If we do not work on the environment, there is no quality inclusion,” she said. The association sought continued local backing for transport. [1]
Theatre brought young people together
The project combined educational workshops with eight inclusive community activities. Participants performed “Severin’s Dream”, a play about life with Down syndrome, and worked with the EkoArt children’s theatre. Božić reported 176 direct participants, including 70 secondary-school students, linking practical encounters with awareness among future professionals. [1]
Civil-society funding supported the work
Leptir received support through the Norway-funded EMBRACE programme implemented by UNDP. A February 2024 programme account reported assistance to more than 37 civil-society organisations across Bosnia and Herzegovina. UNDP’s later annual report also highlighted Leptir’s work, keeping community participation among its disability-inclusion examples. [2][3]
