The Serbian Entrepreneurial Community is an example of the power of a grass-roots initiative to build trust and, by building a complex network of horizontal and vertical relations, encourage collaboration and break administrative boundaries in a push to implement adult education.
The partnership in Serbia that resulted in an Entrepreneurial Community consists of four main actors:
• Radojicic farm (lead)
• Mionica Municipality
• Kreativa (non-governmental organisation)
• Mionica High School
Serbia struggles with high youth unemployment, significant disparities between regional labour markets, low workforce mobility and an exodus of qualified workforce. The participation of women in the labour market is significantly below that of men. The Serbian Entrepreneurial Community is located in the town and municipality of Mionica, which have populations of 1,500 and 14,000 respectively. The economy of Mionica is tourism-led, targeting mainly weekend and holiday season visitors from the capital Belgrade. Mionica has high unemployment and women carry the bulk of the burden as many marry young, never complete their secondary education and thus struggle to enter the labour market.
