Motivational meeting in Slavonski Brod, 06.11.2015.

On 6 November 2015, Natasa Kovacevic, Coordinator of the „Civil society for Accountable Governance“ project for Brod-posavina County, held a motivational meeting with representatives of civil society organizations (CSOs) in  Slavonski Brod.

Attendees were Ruzica Grubisic Bondza, representative of the Association for the Improvement of Mental Health "Vrapcici" and Dijana Petrovic and Vanja Krnic, representatives of the Association of Persons with Disabilities Slavonski Brod "Loco-Moto".

Since both above named associations are participating in monitoring of the types and extent of stereotypes related to people with disabilities, it was agreed at the meeting that each CSO will organize focus groups with their members in order to obtain a larger and more representative sample of respondents.

Furthermore, leaders of the both focus groups will prepare separate questionnaires for their own members, since members of each CSOs are persons with  different types of disabilities. At the end of each focus group participants will fill in the questionnaires.

Due to numerous ongoing activities and obligations of both organizations till the end of the year, it was agreed that the first focus groups will be conducted in January 2016.
