ROUTES Festival is taking place on October 1st, 2 – 11 pm, at Dorćol Platz, Belgrade; hosted by Refugee Aid Serbia (RAS) in partnership with Bitef & Kišobran.
RAS is a community organisation which began as a local initiative responding to the migration crisis. We base our operations in Bristol park where we distribute warm meals, clothes and other essential items to refugees, migrants and asylum seekers.
ROUTES Festival aims to facilitate interaction and story sharing between the local Serbian population, the international community, and the refugee community.
The festival will feature:
