Organization Liceulice, launched in 2010, operates on the principle of economic and social inclusion of members of marginalized groups. We apply the "hand up, not a handout" approach and we do not stop at the humanitarian aspect, we are already working to create conditions in which people from the margins of society itself will be able to generate revenue and achieve independence. 

The core activity is publishing the street magazine LICEULICE.

The magazine LICEULICE is distributed through a vendor network (50% of every sold issue goes directly to the vendor), that consists of members of marginalized groups. Our vendors are people experiencing poverty, exclusion and homelessness. Many of them live with some form of physical or mental disability, or belong to other marginalized groups that can hardly ever find work on the regular job market. 

Apart from economic empowerment of beneficiaires, LICEULICE also works on their social empowerment through different programs (motivational everyday meetings; satisfying of their basic needs (providing food, clothes, etc); workshops and trainings on different topics: communication skills, skills necessary for a constructive resolution of conflicts; career planning; etc). 

Since 2010, LICEULICE has grown into an open media space, a network made of a large number of partners: journalists, activists, experts from various fields, artists and designers, civil society organisations and institutions; a powerful platform where the information leads to action, to the benefit of all sides. Our key focuses are 1) fighting for human rights and antidiscrimination 2) defending the issues of public interest 3) affirming the practices that lead to sustainable development. We are trying to introduce these topics in a way that is attractive and understandable for the wide readership – thus encouraging them to act practically, whether in their local, micro-fields, or on a larger scale.
