The premiere of the documentary film "Hidden Buds of a Better Society"

The premiere of the documentary film "Hidden Buds of a Better Society" will be held on Friday.

The documentary, which was created through the project "Development and support for the development of sustainable models of employment of vulnerable groups in the Urban Area of Pula", deals with the employment of persons with disabilities. The entire project is implemented with the aim of increasing the employability of vulnerable groups through the creation of preconditions for the employment of persons from vulnerable groups, primarily by raising awareness of the importance of social inclusion of all groups in one society, one community. Additionally, special attention is directed towards reducing discrimination, considering that it is recognized as a serious obstacle to the social inclusion of vulnerable groups, especially through employment.

Through this project, activities are carried out to empower and prepare vulnerable groups for easier employment, activities to prepare and raise awareness among employers about employment opportunities for vulnerable groups, as well as their networking and potential matching. Mentors will be trained and paid for accompanying people from vulnerable groups to work to facilitate their adjustment and help them adapt and overcome difficulties in the first few months of employment. Furthermore, as part of this project, the educational curriculum "Manager and management of a social enterprise" will be created, as well as the education of future social entrepreneurs, social innovation workshops, and the Social Impact HUB activity program.
