This will enable them to make informed decisions when selecting household chemicals and to share their acquired knowledge within their communities. Through a social media campaign, we will inform and encourage behavioral changes among citizens, resulting in a more responsible choice of products and more sustainable consumption in Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Implementation Period:<\/strong> June 2026 \u2013 November 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Donors:<\/strong> The project <em>Youth for Safer Chemicals and Ecosystem Protection (SMARTCHEM Choice)<\/em> is part of the ECO-SISTEM program for supporting civil society in environmental protection, implemented by Young Researchers of Serbia (Mladi istra\u017eiva\u010di Srbije) with the support of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency \u2013 Sida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>These activities are part of the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/ekosistem.mis.org.rs\/\"><em>EKO-SISTEM program<\/em><\/a><em>, implemented by <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/mis.org.rs\/\"><em>Mladi istra\u017eiva\u010di Srbije<\/em><\/a><em>, and supported by Sweden.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"273\" height=\"107\" data-id=\"16709\" src=\"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-14.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16709\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"276\" height=\"117\" data-id=\"16714\" src=\"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-8-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16714\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"229\" height=\"111\" data-id=\"16711\" src=\"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-15.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16711\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"427\" data-id=\"16710\" src=\"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-13-1024x427.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-13-1024x427.png 1024w, https:\/\/alhem.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-13-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/alhem.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-13-768x320.png 768w, https:\/\/alhem.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-13-1536x641.png 1536w, https:\/\/alhem.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-13-1170x488.png 1170w, https:\/\/alhem.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-13.png 2045w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Goal: The general objective of the project is to encourage young people and citizens of Serbia to choose safer chemical products based on informed decisions, thereby contributing to the reduction of negative impacts on the ecosystem, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change mitigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16713,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[113],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16704"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16715,"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16704\/revisions\/16715"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alhem.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
