Our Completed Projects
Literary competition for students
The literary competition "Stela Jatras"
|
This scholarship is awarded for the best essay of a young person from Serbia on a variety of topics. It was designed as the Stela Jatras Literary Contest in memory of a Greek American, diplomat, analyst and writer who fought for truthful and evidence-based reporting on Serbia. The three-year scholarship encourages research and essay writing, corroboration of evidence, sources, and facts, as well as literary skill.
Stella Jatras's dedication and persistence in defending the universal values of truth, justice and the principle of objectivity in politics and media reporting, and especially her engagement against the Western media bias in the events of the 1990s, inspired this scholarship. The project was funded by grants from Mr. Predrag Pecic from California.

Diaspora day program- knowledge sharing and support for education
Diaspora Day Program is created as a shared vision of organizations and institutions from the motherland and abroad to build a permanent bridge, network for exchange of knowledge, people and ideas among Serbia, its Diaspora and Serbs in the region, with the special role that education and support for education can play for every nation. The program, which started in 2016, is realized through the holding of annual conferences called Diaspora Day, which are also the central event of the meeting.
Our result is networking of young people, students and high school students from Serbia and the diaspora, with representatives of the diaspora, the university and scientific and educational structures of Serbia, exchange of ideas and knowledge and connection with the diaspora. About 300 young people from Serbia, the Diaspora and the region take part in the program annually.

Our Foundation's alumni choir participated in the artwork of these significant sets of knowledge, youth and fellowship. The three-year program is implemented by the organization, Tesla Science Foundation, Singidunum University, Studenica Foundation and other partners.
