Since 2024, the Academic Inclusive Association has been organizing the music festival INKLUZIJADA.
With the goal of raising awareness about youth with disabilities and creating high-quality cultural and entertainment content, the Academic Inclusive Association organizes INKLUZIJADA, a free-entry music festival held in Zvezdara Forest in Belgrade.
INKLUZIJADA is unique in the world as it is the only music festival organized by a disability-led organization as a gift to its community.
The choice of location was intentional, as there are seven student dormitories within two kilometers of Zvezdara Forest, housing over 4,500 students — an additional expression of student solidarity.
The message of the first festival, held on October 20, 2024 (Belgrade City Day), was:
“From us to all – music is inclu(sion)YES!”
The festival concept includes a 10-hour program on a single stage, featuring live performances and additional activities such as a fair of youth and disability organizations, a pub quiz, and a beer pong tournament.
The music program focuses on rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. At the first INKLUZIJADA, over 80 performers participated in 9 sets.
Headline acts included: KANDA, KODŽA, NEBOJŠA, Samostalni referenti, FILI OVO ONO, and ProRock Band. Other performers included EKV Tribute MiMikrija – Mikica Stefanović, The STROKERS, Serbistika Choir, and ZERO TWO, along with students from the “Vladimir Đorđević” Elementary Music School from Zvezdara.
The festival was organized by a team of 25 volunteers and coordinators, while more than 30 public figures took part in promoting the event. The festival was supported by the Municipality of Zvezdara, with sponsorship from Zlatiborac.
The Academic Inclusive Association recognizes INKLUZIJADA as an important form of developing inclusive art and is actively preparing the 2025 edition of the festival.
