Summary/Abstract: The article presents the initial results achieved from the functioning of the „DownTown“ complex, whose purpose is to combine two interrelated types of activities – hotel-restaurant and social-educational, intended for a special category of children and youth with Down syndrome (DS). The thesis is defended that the social enterprise „DownTown“ fills an existing niche in terms of labor-professional training and the realization of children and youth with DS in a market environment, by combining business and social activities in a way that provides social benefits for them and their families, as well as positive added value for society.
