CEDEUM CEDEUM derived from drama programmes carried out in the Cultural Center Stari grad, the institution which was one of the first in the country to develop the operational model based on projects and self-financing. First grants were received in 1993, for different educational, inclusive and creative drama/theater projects directed towards children and youth (years 2000 – 2008). Our most important experience in administering grants took place in 1999, with the project Art for Social Change – Play Against Violence, initiated by the European Cultural Foundation. From 2000 to 2004, CEDEUM took over the projects in collaboration with Save the Children Fund UK, UNICEF, UNESCO, CARE International and COOOPI Internazionale, which were implemented as European Committee projects. The collaboration with UNICEF was ongoing for many years. Also, CEDEUM has major experiences in administering local programmes, mostly with the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Culture, City Cultural Department and Stari grad Municipality.
