Narrative Report on Telenor Foundation Projects in 2011 NARRATIVE REPORT ON TELENOR FOUNDATION PROJECTS IN 2011 The Telenor Foundation contributes to society by launching or joining strategic socially responsible projects. The Foundation realizes these ideas in collaboration with partners, with heterogeneous teams engaged on them. During its five years of existence, the Telenor Foundation has provided help to underprivileged and vulnerable civic groups in Serbia, as well as youths in their educational and professional development, in circumstances of dynamic progress of modern society. The Foundation also contributes to the decentralization of art, cultural, scientific and artistic creation, as well as general environmental development. We establish transparent and public partnerships with state institutions and non- profit organizations, in line with procedures stipulated in our statute. A competent team assesses received ideas and selects them according to clearly defined criteria, and then submits them to the Telenor Foundation Managing Board. At regular annual sessions the Board decides which ideas will receive support. Our partners are required to submit a public report to the Board about their progress and a detailed summary of the results. The Telenor Foundation Board of Directors consists of six prominent individuals whose work has been socially verified in practice: five members, two of whom are employed by Telenor, and advisor Dina Johnson, a photographer with sixteen years of experience in the publishing industry and involvement in culture affirmation projects in Russia. The Foundation Board is chaired by Kjell-Morten Johnsen, CEO of Telenor d.o.o. In addition to other fields, he built his career in fixed-line and mobile telephony industry (Telenor, VimpelCom, Golden Telecom). Another member of the board from Telenor is Sandra Štajner, CCO, who built her career in communications both in corporations and as an independent consultant, in Serbia and abroad. The members of the Board with the highest academic titles are Prof. Dr. Branko Kovačević, Chancellor of the University of Belgrade, and Prof. Dr. Slobodan G. Marković, associate professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences and senior associate at the Institute for European Studies in Belgrade. The Board member from the media sector is Veran Matić, founder and editor-in-chief of TV B92. Ana Krstić has been the Foundation manager since its founding, and she was entrusted with these duties because of her long and abundant professional experience in the field of corporate social responsibility affairs and international relations. In 2011 the Telenor Foundation launched and supported more than 20 projects and collaborated with more than 30 partner organizations. 1. CATEGORY: EDUCATION AND YOUTH - Scholarships for Master studies in the field of children’s rights February 2011 – The Union University Faculty of Law in Belgrade established a Master’s program in the field of children’s rights. Its aim is to provide education, advanced training and expansion of the professional network that would provide for the adequate exercising of children’s rights in Serbia. The Telenor Foundation contributed to the project by providing scholarships for the one-year Master’s studies for students Katarina Petrović and Ivana Savić, from Belgrade. “We want to support the development and wellbeing of children and the exercising of their rights in Serbia and in the region. This development also implies the promotion of human resources and organization capacities in this field,” pointed out Prof. Dr. Nevena Vučković-Šahović, former member of the Telenor Foundation Managing Board (2007-2011). - Continuation of cooperation with the Faculty of Electronics May 2011 – Thanks to the continuation of the cooperation between the Faculty of Electronics in Niš and the Telenor Foundation, the Laboratory for Telecommunications at this school was provided new equipment. It will improve teaching and provide for the more efficient production of diploma and Master’s theses. Among other things, a state-of-the-art computer with the latest version of the i7 processor will be of great use to doctoral students for complex numerical calculations, modeling and simulation of telecommunications systems. With the aim of expanding collaboration, Pjer Vučković, Technology Strategy and Coordination Area Manager at Telenor, held a lecture for students on the development of mobile networks opportunities for the introduction of state-of-the-art LTE technology. “The lecture is extremely significant for students in the graduate and doctoral programs, because it enables them to realize the significance of implementing theoretical knowledge. On this occasion the Telenor Foundation took advantage of Telenor’s expertise as part of the strategy of investment in the education of youths, and I am pleased that our collaboration in this field will continue,” stated docent Goran T. Djordjević. The Faculty of Electronics at the University of Niš and the Telenor Foundation have been cooperating since the end of 2010, when for the first time the best graduate from the Department of Telecommunications was presented the Prof. Dr. Ilija Stojanović Award. - First electronic testing of students in Serbia, thanks to the Telenor Foundation May 2011 – Around 850 students from 50 schools in Serbia took trial tests as part of the largest international education study, PISA. The Program for International Student Assessment is organized every three years. It has been implemented in our country since 2001, organized by the Institute for Psychology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, under patronage of the Serbian Ministry of Education and Science. The aim is to improve the system of education in our country by highlighting the functionality of academic knowledge. The first electronic testing of students in Serbia was made possible by the Telenor Foundation, which recognized its importance for the development of our education system. The Foundation provided 40 portable computers so that this phase of the study would proceed unimpeded. Due to inadequate technical conditions, the testing at approximately 70 percent of the schools was performed on laptops provided by the Telenor Foundation. “The study was conducted in an atmosphere of good collaboration with the schools and exceptional student motivation. Next year the main testing, including electronic testing, should be performed at 190 schools, which is almost four times as many as this year. The test results will be announced at the level of the OECD and all 76 countries that take part in it, and we will know whether and to what extent our educational system provides development. In order to be successful in this knowledge test, we require support from the Ministry of Education, the collaboration of schools and students, as well as significant technical assistance, which we hope we will have in the continuation of the partnership with the Telenor Foundation,” said Dragica Pavlović-Babić, PISA coordinator for Serbia. - Supporting NALED project Get to Know the Serbian State August 2011 – The aim of this project was for Serbian students attending school abroad to learn about the organization and functioning of the local self-governments in Serbia, during a two-week summer internship, initiated by the National Alliance for Local Economic Development (NALED). The student internships in 20 cities and municipalities in Serbia were related to local economic development and, in the future, to connecting with the Serbian diaspora. This idea should encourage young educated people to return to Serbia and to apply the knowledge that they gained abroad for Serbia’s benefit and balanced regional development. In addition to learning about the key departments of municipal administration and the role of local self-government in the country’s economic system, the interns visited the largest local companies and learned about the investment and tourism potentials of the municipalities. Thanks to their knowledge of the language and culture of the countries where they are studying, they helped the municipalities to prepare information for foreign investors, embassies, chambers of commerce and donors, therefore strengthening the municipality’s international connections. - Prof. Dr. Ilija Stojanović Award for graduates from the telecommunications departments at universities in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš December 2011 – The Telenor Foundation traditionally presents the Prof. Dr. Ilija Stojanović Award to the best graduates from the departments of telecommunications, the authors of the best student papers at the TELFOR conference, and the authors of the best scientific paper published in international journals. As has been the case in previous years, the Awards were presented by representatives of the Telenor Foundation at the official celebration of the Day of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Belgrade. The laureates were Zdravko Zubac from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Belgrade, Dušan Cvetković from the Faculty of Electronics at the University of Niš, and Siniša Suzić from the Faculty of Technical Sciences at the University of Novi Sad. The three award-winning papers are: Comparison of five antennas for WBAN applications, by Aleksandra Krneta, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade; Digital Guitar Tuner, Miodrag Stanojević and Miloš Bjelić, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade; and Implementation of LT Codes on the TelosB Platform, by Jelena Milošević, Faculty of Technical Sciences,

Introduction3 The Republic of Serbia is still confronted with the consequences of the devastation of the nineties and the difficulties of the present decade. Yet many of the surviving strengths of Serbian cultural life are derived from a long tradition of cultural investment.

  • Sava Šumanović – Life, Work and Ties with André Lhote
    Sava Šumanović – Life, Work and Ties with André Lhote Vesna Burojević ABSTRACT Sava Šumanović (1896–1942) has been recognized by Serbian art history as one of its most important representatives and the one who introduced modern- ism to Serbian painting. He is also considered one of the central conveyors of post-cubism and constructivism in Serbia. Šumanović was the first painter from Serbia who studied at painter and teacher André Lhote’s Academy in Par- is. The development of Šumanović’s style is presented by discerning the dif- ferent periods of his work, and by placing emphasis on Šumanović’s Parisian periods, which clearly show the influence and application of André Lhote’s theory. Šumanović is one of the most important and renowned Serbian painters of the first half of the 20th century. Sava Šumanović dedicated his life to his work. In his short life he painted over 800 oil paintings on canvases and just as many draw- ings. He is the artist who created “The Drunken Boat”, considered to be the most important Serbian painting of the 20th century and the monumental series “Bath- ers”. Šumanović lived to be 46 years of age. He was killed by occupational forces during World War II, shot alongside 120 other Serbian victims. Sava Šumanović was born in 1896 into a wealthy, middle class intellectual and progressive-thinking family. At a young age he wanted to commit himself completely to painting and obtain the necessary education to achieve this. As a ten-year-old boy Sava Šumanović enrolled in the Zemun High School, wherefrom he went to Zagreb’s Art Academy, and later to Paris.

  • The Evocation of the Russian Empire Style in Serbian Architecture
    Русское искусство XX–XXI века 401 УДК: 72.036 ББК: 85.113 А43 DOI: 10.18688/aa188-4-38 Milan Prosen The Evocation of the Russian Empire Style in Serbian Architecture Buildings erected in Russian Neo-Empire style are the recognizable curiosity of great importance for the understanding of the development of the architectural heritage of Serbia and its diverse flows. They depict a specific epoch, when Russian national identity was clearly expressed in the Serbian environment. The Empire style evocations in Serbian architecture, primarily in Belgrade during the third and fourth decades of the 20th century, concluded the evolution of its historical growth. The Empire style started as a branch of neoclassicism oriented towards motives of Roman imperial architecture; it was found suitable for the expression of Russian monumental architecture at the time of Emperor Alexander I in the period that followed his victory over Napoleon. This style marked one of the most fertile periods in the construction of St. Petersburg, seen on the monumental public buildings such as the Admiralty, the Stock Exchange, Mining Cadet Corps, The General Staff, Mikhailovsky Palace, Alexandrine Theater, Moscow triumphal gates, the Chamber of the Senate and Synod, the houses of Gagarin, Kukanova, and other notable families. Influenced by the 18th century French culture, the Empire style underwent its evolution in the works of famous architects: Jean-François Thomas de Thomon, Andrean Zakharov, Andrey Voronikhin, Auguste Ricard de Montferrand, Carlo Rossi, Vasily Stasov, Osip Bove etc. [1]. Paraphrasing Roman architecture, the style of Alexander I adopted the elements of the Imperial Forum in Rome: the Triumphal Arch with a powerful, decorative crown stone and a coffered barrel vault, the use of classical columns, entablature, garlands, and classical motifs made of wrought iron.

  • 1 Bridging Cultures and Affirming Fashion
    Bridging Cultures and Affirming Fashion Museology: Exhibition Maison Barilli: Belgrade / New York as a Cultural Hub Stefan Žarić Artis Center Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: This paper will discuss how the fashion exhibition Maison Barilli: Belgrade / New York sparked collaboration between local museums while at the same time it initiated an awareness of fashion museology as a valid museum practice at the national level, and of Serbian fashion heritage internationally. As such, it has served as a positive catalyst for the implementation of fashion museology through traditionally conceptualized art museums and canonized art historical figures like Milena Pavlović Barilli. This way, the concept of fashion as a museological practice of the “future” (compared to Serbian painting-dominated exhibit production) was introduced to local audiences gradually, by respecting tradition and artistic legacy while at the same time offering a fresh perspective on heritage and cultural diversity, and becoming a cultural hub. Contents: Introduction Affirming fashion museology Fashion as an intercultural hub Branding heritage through fashion References Introduction The exhibition Maison Barilli: Belgrade / New York marked the first fashion exhibition in both institutions where it was organized –(December 2017 – February 2018), and The Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection in Novi Sad, Serbia (September – October 2018). Figure 1. Exhibition poster for Maison Barilli: Belgrade / New York, December 2017 – February 2018, and the cover of the publication, One Study of High Fashion and High Art, 2017.
