On the last day of the festival, the citizens will be invited to get involved in charitable actions of civil society organizations by choosing the activities they want to support through the dobrocinitim.rs platform for the purpose of individually contributing to the culture of giving becoming a habit. To this end, stickers for telephone platforms and everyday communication have been specially designed.

The program of the Philanthropy Festival is available on the dobrocinitim.rs website.
