Aurora Mother Center
Belgrade, Serbia
Aurora Mother Center (Centar za majke Aurora) is taking the lead in providing the needful for vulnerable families with local and international partners to create a fostering surrounding and an inclusive society.
Workshop with women
Our Center is not only a place of education, but also simply for the relaxation of every woman. Our joint conversations are a real relief for all women. The importance of the female role in the series is immeasurable, a strong woman equals a strong family!
The activity was realized within the project “Neve Droma – new roads”, which is implemented by the Center for Mothers, “Aurora”, in cooperation with the Mother Centers International Network for Empowerment. The project is funded by the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung.
Creative workshop and aprons for children made of recycled material
A creative workshop is always fun, but sometimes our little ones know how to get dirty, so it’s important to protect yourself and enter your creative zone without worry. Aprons for children made of recycled material are a real refresh of our eco line! They are not only practical, but through them children learn how to treat the environment and how to protect it.

Sewing training "Neve Droma – new roads"
We actively continue with sewing training in the premises of our Center. The compliments from our dear mentor Kača are a real acknowledgment to our team that we are on the right path. Together we educate, have fun, create and create change in the community!

Fruit salad
A healthy meal is an important element of the healthy growth of every child. From the earliest period, we teach our little ones healthy habits and the importance of fruit intake. This time it was a delicious fruit salad that the children made with the help of our lovely girls. We learn through fun.
Sewing training "Novi put"
Our team continues to improve their sewing skills to make our eco products even more perfect. Expect novelties! We are preparing the expansion of products from our eco line, about which we will inform you. Thanks to our dear seamstress Kaća, who is our mentor in this process and who agreed to transfer her enviable experience when it comes to design and sewing to us. We are also very grateful to BW Stiftung, who supported our work.
Kreativna radionica
Creative workshop
Our Center gets a special shine with our little ones, a creative drawing workshop is often fun for everyone, not just children! Our little ones made real little works of art, and after every party, as it happens, comes the less fun part, and our little ones cleaned up the space themselves, which always makes us all especially proud. The works will be highlighted in a special place in our Center, until they are replaced by a new one
Listening to the needs of the community and seeing our role
Brave, daring, full of energy, educated, willing to help…. these are just some of the characteristics that the community attributes to our Aurora as a person! Let’s recall the exercise in which our users and volunteer teams imagined our Aurora as a person, and then asked her questions and highlighted what topic they would talk to our Aurora about.
Aprons made of recycled material
The incredible creation of the women of our Center. Aprons made of recycled material are not just aprons, they are woven with love and a desire for change, it is a mechanism of environmental protection that everyone can provide by personal example! Contact us through our Facebook profile or email address to order these amazing aprons and we will tell you their story.
Our Center receives an article in the German magazine "Perspektive"!
On the occasion of the anniversary of the BW Foundation, our Centrar gets his own article in the German magazine “Perspektive”. On this occasion, our dear president Jelena Brkić and our dear user Sandra Radosavljević gave an interview. More about the interview itself in the magazine! We are excitedly awaiting the release!
We are not afraid, we learn to count
Playing with children is the time we invest in their future. At our Aurora Center, we try to learn through play and have fun with our little ones. Children are our favorite visitors, but we are also their favorite place to have fun.

Workshop with children
The wonderful children of our Aurora Center prepared, with our support, traditional cookies of various shapes. It was real fun to participate in this kind of activity, and the children were especially interested in kneading and using a rolling pin. Your cookies were phenomenal!
Sewing Eco Bags
The wonderful ladies of our center continue sewing handbags from ecological material. These wonderful and socially useful products, hand-sewn by our ladies, cost 3 euros to be distributed according to the following principle: 1 euro for the woman who sews, 1 euro for the material and 1 euro for the activities in our Aurora Center.
Combine shopping convenience with social responsibility in these adorable purses.
Visit of the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality
We would like to thank the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality, Brankica Janković, her team and the head of the Council of Europe office in Belgrade, Janoš Babić, for visiting our Center. Learned more about the very concept of discrimination and recognizing it, but also received significant information about the mechanisms that can be used if discrimination occurs based on personal characteristics, such as national or religious affiliation, disability, etc.
It is important that we report any discrimination and do not remain silent about it!!!
Creating a business plan
The Aurora Center team started the process of creating a business plan with one of the biggest experts in this field, but also with the support of members of the Zvezdara municipality. By creating a business plan for our Center, we will try to realize its sustainable development and thus give the community a permanent mechanism for solving their problems in various areas, from education to promoting economic independence.
Distribution of New Year's packages for children
It’s real magic to make children happy! For the children of Aurora, Santa Claus came especially from Lapland and gave them packets, but the children also had a special task for him, they wanted him to draw or calculate something for them, this turned into real fun for everyone.
Creative workshop with children
Coloring, drawing and tailoring was real fun for the children. In the creative workshop, the children made real small works of art, and we enjoyed this fun with them.
Responsible parenting
Our Aurora Center pays special attention to parent education, and responsible parenting is a topic we attach great importance to. The workshop on “Responsible parenting” helped many parents to resolve their doubts and dilemmas regarding upbringing and communication with their children.
There is no Equality without both sexes!
A joint activity of men and women was held in our center. The goal of the workshop was to involve men in the fight for women’s gender equality.
Joint relaxation of children and parents
When we don’t have education, our Aurora Center is often a gathering place for rest and play with children. Today’s atmosphere in the game with the children prepared us all for tomorrow’s duties.
Besuch des Bürgermeisters der Gemeinde Zvezdara
We had the pleasure of hosting representatives of the municipality of Zvezdara, that is, the president of the municipality Mr. Vladan Jeremic, project manager Zlatko Petrin and Roma affairs coordinator Siniša Marinković.
Children are the decoration of the world.
Baby cafe and workshop of playing with children are always special in our Center. We will reveal to you the secret of the recipe for happiness, which is playing with children! If the game is joined by the education of mothers at the Baby Cafe and the learning of children through the game, a full hit has been achieved.
Sewing aprons from recycled material
Our hard-working women continue to sew aprons from recycled materials. They combined incredible design and environmental protection in one product! Also, by purchasing these aprons, you provide the women of our Center with the opportunity to earn some money and help the Center to maintain its activities.
Baby coffee
A workshop where we educate young mothers about the proper upbringing of a baby with the exchange of various experiences and practical examples. With our Baby Cafe workshop, we help young mothers in their daily challenges with their babies.
Fun with children
In our Center, children occupy a special place, playing with them cheers us all up, it is especially fulfilling to watch them progress in their little works of art. Our hard-working children always put away their toys themselves after the party, which makes us all proud.
Eco bags
Why not protect the environment and be socially responsible? By purchasing an Eco bag, you protect the environment and donate to women who are often marginalized in society! Isn’t that great? Eco bags are made entirely of ecological material and are extremely practical. Price: €3 per piece
Conference for the urban future!
We had the opportunity to be in spirit at the mentioned event and with aprons made of recycled material, we point out the importance of recycling! Knowing the importance of the Conference for the urban future, our women invested a lot of energy in making aprons and we are glad that we took part in the conference in this way.
