The Belgrade Open School (BOS) with the support of the Kingdom of Sweden is implementing the project "Advancing Media and Youth CSOs for Prosperous Democratic Development of Serbia - MAY4DD" which aims to encourage partnerships between the media and youth organizations to democratize society and respect the rule of law and human rights on a local level. The project was launched in June 2021 and will last until May 31, 2025. Youth with disabilities face different barriers on daily basis when using services such as visits to cafes, restaurants and hotel accommodation. On the other hand, youth from the general population (15-18 years old) are looking for seasonal jobs during the summer season and in most cases they are engaged in spas and tourist resorts. Employers are more willing to hire youth who are still in process of education because they pay less taxes. However, those youth who are engaged in the HORECA industry during the summer months do not have induction on the job training and they are not trained to provide adequate informations and support to persons with disabilities.
