In Loving Memory of Vladimir Mitrovic

February 4, 2022

It is with deepest sorrow that Out of the Box International informs you of the death of our beloved friend, supporter and colleague Vladmir Mitrovic who unexpectedly passed away in Brussels.

It is hard to grasp that he will no longer be around. Since our founding in 2013, Vladimir was always there to provide his expertise in communication and design matters, as well as his administration and project management know-how. More importantly, he was always there to offer his honest opinion, constructive advice and relentless support no matter what was needed.

A life so fully lived deserves to be fully remembered. We will forever remember his spontaneous approach and his special brand of humor that brought us laughter many times, either in our daily office life or during events we jointly organised. Lastly, we are paying final tribute to the one and only who was always the winner in our quiz competitions.

May you rest in peace Mr.

Yours gratefully,

Out of the Box International

Why Out of the Box International

The seemingly ever-lasting depression of European economies has shaken the very foundations of many European societies. The shear rate of unemployment in Europe and the omnipresent environmental crisis coupled with the often frustratingly slow process of decision making in the EU, are calling for civil society actors to step in and fill the void.

In the aftermath of the 2008. economic crisis, the apprehension of falling under the spell of apathy of economic depression across the continent has not been easy to shake off. However, pinpointing the culprits for the current state of affairs on any particular EU decision maker is not the answer. Nonetheless, the fact remains that the current approach to the economic and environmental crisis hasn’t yet shown the affected citizens the light at the end of the tunnel.

As representatives of the civil society we feel the need to make our voice heard in the midst of the current debate on economic crisis. Being a social enterprise we offer new and feasible ideas in education and community work, creative cross-sectorial cooperation among different actors and strong networking coalitions to turn these dire economic challenges into possibilities through social entrepreneurship initiatives which aim at benefiting wide range of citizens, particularly vulnerable groups and those affected by the economic crisis.

Social entrepreneurship is a simple concept that has been put into practice by civil society actors for the benefit of a specific social group or people, and this is precisely what we want: to create projects and initiatives with fresh ideas in different policies, educational programs or tools, support businesses, empower cultural initiatives and offer different solutions to individuals, corporate bodies, everybody who believe that we can have more Creative, Innovative and Cohesive Europe.
