Youth Voice | Magdalena Miladinovi?: ARIS Building an Inclusive Social Innovation Platform for Vulnerable Groups
At the 2026 Acceleration Week for Global Youth Development, Magdalena Miladinovi? from Serbia, founder and Chair of the Management Board of ARIS – Center for Inclusion, Research and Sustainable Development, introduced her social innovation platform dedicated to empowering vulnerable groups — including migrants, women, NEETs, and individuals from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds. What makes the program unique is its broad approach: instead of focusing on a single target group, it covers a wider range of beneficiaries, from senior women to migrant communities, ensuring that no one is left behind. Through education, skills development, and inclusive programs in financial literacy, digital inclusion, and employability, the platform teaches participants the latest user-friendly technologies — from online banking to budgeting apps — helping them stay up to date with rapidly changing trends.
