Community Development Project in Bosnia

This unique social development project was established to create and improve relationships between the young people of historically conflicting ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The goal was to break down the still prevalent racial prejudices left in the wake of the Bosnian War of 1992-1995. The multi-ethnic "anti-segregation" project aims to create and foster connections among young people in Brcko, a city in Bosnia’s northwest region where unemployment figures are as high as 40%. The combination of youth-focused education and arts initiatives hopes to increase their self-confidence in creating opportunities for themselves and working toward a united, stable nation. Dissolving generations of inherited, deep-seated racial prejudices can be a long and arduous task. International volunteers, from a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds, play an important role in achieving the desired outcomes of this ambitious project while demonstrating compassion and indiscriminate empathy to the children.

Life-Changing Experience in Bosnia and Herzergovina

I volunteered in Bosnia and Herzegovina for two months while teaching English, arts and crafts and some other workshops to the youth in the host city and it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. From working with the very youngest children to some surprisingly talented young adults, it was a journey of discovery of not only what I could contribute but also learnings for my own life. The best part of the program is the degree of freedom that is offered - as long as your idea makes sense and attracts participants, you will be fully supported to put it into practice, hopefully for the long run. In the abundant free time offered (the whole weekend, except during summer holidays), feel free to visit one of Europe's most underrated destinations, which is filled with culture and cost-effective transport and stays.
