Several hundred visitors, dozens of exhibitors from country and abroad marked a large fair of traditional crafts and souvenirs, which was organized on June 30th, 2017 on the waterfront in Pine Tivat. It created an opportunity for all interested visitors to view some of the most recognizable old products, unfortunately almost forgotten.

This event has been organized by the "Djokovic" company from Danilovgrad and Touristic Organization of Tivat. Locals as well as many tourists had the opportunity to see and buy inventive souvenirs and items made by craftsmen - carpenters, basket-makers, blacksmiths, masons, potters, weavers, knitters and embroiderers, but also beneficiaries of the project "Increasing the employability of long-term unemployed women - Dorra Nuova”.

Dorra Nuova presented their handicrafts and souvenirs made with decoupage technique witch enriched the offer of the fair in Tivat. Three beneficiaries of the project from this city explained the way of making souvenirs with decoupage technique to significant number of interested participants and used the opportunity to familiarize them with the project "Increasing the employability of the long-term unemployed women - Dorra Nuova".

NGO Young Roma launched the project in November 2016 aimed to increase employability of long term unemployed women - Dorra Nouva. The project is supported by the European Union funds through the grant scheme "Youth, Women and Long-term Unemployed in the Labor Market", which is implemented within the Operational Program "Human Resources Development 2012-2013", financed by the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA). The implementation contract was signed with the Ministry of Finance - the Directorate for Financing and Contracting EU Assistance. The Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare is the institution in charge of monitoring the implementation of this project, but also the entire grant scheme.

The main objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of the economic and social rights of Roma women and other long-term unemployed women through inclusion in the labor market. The project contributes to increased opportunities of employment and self-employment, which is made possible through a series of training sessions, workshops, building partnerships and cooperation with relevant organizations and institutions.
