| description: |
Building on the methodology, experience and results of the PfC action project implemented in Serbia in 2002 in four municipalities, but responding at the same time to the specific context of the Obrenovac municipality (as part of the City of Belgrade, experiencing limited autonomy and decision-making power in specific areas), the project aims to encourage the local community of the Belgrade suburb Obrenovac to take an active role in shaping its own cultural environment. The project aimed at raising awareness of the role the different stakeholders should play in this process, and at developing, through the project activities, a sustainable cooperation between NGOs, public institutions and public authorities, which will lead to the creation and adoption of a strategic document of cultural development.
Obrenovac is interesting because it is a well-developed municipality (almost an independent area) and part of the city of Belgrade (and financially dependent on the city). A special feature of the project is that the City Council of Belgrade has already showed interest in disseminating its work within a further five municipalities from suburban Belgrade (Lazarevac, Barajevo, Sopot, Grocka, Mladenovac). This would allow the future development of a joint cultural policy platform — starting from the local level towards higher levels of cultural policy.
