Your editorial board ROMA INCLUSION OFFICE OF AP VOJVODINA IN 2013 Roma Inclusion Office of AP Vojvodina marked its seventh year of existence in 2013. In addition to now already traditional celebrations of the 8th of April, the International Roma Day, the Office held two seminars for Coordinators for Roma Issues from Vojvodina. Of course, the Office implemented affirma- tive action for admission of students to secondary schools, as well as to higher education institutions. The project “Improving the employability for Roma people in AP Vojvodina” was successfully completed, and a new donor contract was signed with the Open Society Institute-Budapest, for a new project entitled “Strengthening Capacities of the Roma Inclusion Office”. The Office also supported the organization of a seminar for new teachers of Romani language, since preserving Romani is underpinning for preserving Roma culture and tradition, and is fundamental to Roma people. Nevertheless, the thing that marked year 2013 the most is undeniably the opening of the sector for Roma Position Improvement at the Provincial Secretariat for Economy, Employment and Gender Equality, which marks a step further when it comes to the institutional solving of Roma issues.

Ву writing it we vvanted to highlight the impact the Jewry from Novi Sad made while shap- ing the city’s urban and cultural соге. The buildings, streets, monu- ments and sights, hovvever, are just as important as the people who built them and who kept the Jevvish Community together. Over the centuries, Novi Sad along with its Jews had more troublesome than peaceful times, but just like their city, the Jews survived and managed to prosper. TONS, the City’s Tourist Information Centre has supported us in representing the Jevvish Community as a дгоир of individuals made of flesh and blood who, in spite of саггуing the heavy burden of the Holocaust, still have a clear vision while living in harmony with all the other ethnic and cultural groups in Novi Sad.

  • Exhibition Bread in the Great
    EXHIBITION – BREAD IN THE GREAT WAR Author Dimitrije Vujadinovic REPORT 2014 There is nothing in the world as human as bread. Dostoevsky INTRODUCTION Without doubt bread is one of the most significant inventions of Man. It marks a revolutionary turn in his evolution. From being a hunter-gatherer and living as a nomad, Man started working the land, building settlements and creating culture. Bread is the only type of food connecting Man with basic principles of life and the transcendental. Ritual bread follows us from birth to death, even after death. When in the ancient past our ancestors started making bread that was a result of long-lasting experience, patient work and will. As soon as they tasted it, people realized its importance to survival. Precisely because of its importance as basic food, bread has become a symbol of life, spirituality and a reflection of culture. Bread has gained its unique position in man’s life because of its peculiarity. Bread’s ingredients are the basis and symbols of a lasting life (seed, salt and water); then as food – “first course”; while the very making of dough and baking are seen as the creation of the world. In the tradition of many peoples, bread creates the balance between Man and invisible forces endangering his life, and is also used as on object with magical powers to fulfil human wishes. The former is played out through giving bread as a gift, and the latter is based on the belief that bread can transfer certain qualities onto those who come in contact with it.
