The first workshop of the System Innovation Labs within the “Caring Communities” project was held in Belgrade on November 19, 2024. The workshop was organized by the Republic Institute for Social Protection and the Network of Organizations for Children of Serbia (MODS), and it gathered a large number of representatives from institutions and organizations involved in improving social protection services in the community.
The workshop’s goal was to engage participants in defining a model for sustainable financing of social protection services. Participants explored challenges and potential in financing these services through interactive methods, such as systemic modelling. The workshop provided an opportunity for a deep understanding of the system’s dynamics and the identification of key intervention points. During the workshop, participants collaboratively developed an initial model for stable and continuous financing of social protection services, representing a crucial step towards achieving the project’s goals.
The “Caring Communities” project aims to improve the quality of life for people needing care in the Danube region through capacity building for innovation and interregional cooperation between private and public stakeholders.
The project “Caring Communities – Transnational Approaches for Multiple Transformative Changes in Home Care and Community Development in the Danube Region” is supported under the transnational cooperation program for the Danube region and includes 25 partners from 9 Danube region countries from January 2024 to June 2026.
