The most important projects: 

Most important projects:

  • Interviewer at SeConS – Development Initiative Group: Project / Mapping Domestic Violence under Women in Central Serbia. This was Janković’s chance to work on her social skills and research skills. It enabled her to know her local audience better in the wider social and cultural contexts.
  • Director assistant at Festival of International Student Theatre. This has been her major project in her current carrier. Anđelka Janković was a voluntary host at FIST 1 even before she was enrolled in the Faculty. After that experience she was sure that the job of producer in culture was right for her. She has taken part in all levels of the organization of this festival and climbed the ranks to become director of FIST 05 on her third year. She has to confess that this progress was one of the reasons why her professor recommended her for the appointment of producer of the Bitef Theatre. Anđelka Janković has aquired most of the skills necessary for theatre and festival management. In Serbia everyone who works in Culture recognizes FIST so it served to be a great starting point at the end of her studies.
  • Project Adventure COOLture, Production Assistant at NVO Kulturni Kod. This project gave her a wish to work for kids and with kids, so she acted as a producer and fundraiser of a multimedia guide through cultural and sports institutions in Belgrade for children. She learned fundraising through this project, and made her first big mistakes and her first professional steps. It was hard but successful and left her with the notion that almost anything is possible if you really believe in it.
  • Coordinator of PR Team at SMart Kolektiv.  For Anđelka Janković this was great experience because she performed PR for a project that includes really big international corporations. It was something new to her because when she was promoting cultural projects she focused mainly on cultural information. Here her job was to inform the audience that corporate responsibility is more than just providing money: To give time, skills, and love to those who really need it. It was a small PR team and Anđelka Janković headed it. She made important contacts got excellent recommendations
