The non-governmental organization Youth Power organized two parallel events on Vlašić from 26.2 to 28.2.2020 in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports HNK, the Institute for Education Mostar and the Pedagogical Institute Mostar.
The first event was focused on creating campaigns together with students from eight high schools that we work with in our County. The second event was directed towards working with pedagogues, where our expert associates and counselors talk about the general management of educational workshops and activities conducted in schools.
An important outcome of these two parallel events that we have organized are created plans for working on campaigns where we want to engage youth to promote healthier lifestyles and prevent gender-based violence. Students from our eight partner high schools have created three campaigns that will be implemented at the level of all participating schools with which we carry out activities under the Youth Initiative program.
The first campaign will be held for International Women’s Day and the students, together with us, are working hard to prepare all the details about the campaign.
The activity was implemented as part of the YMI – Young Men Initiative project: “Promoting Healthier Lifestyle among Young People in Bosnia and Herzegovina by Challenging Gender Stereotypes II”, supported by the Governments of Switzerland, OAK Foundation, Austrian Development Agency and CARE International Bosnia and Herzegovina.
