A five year International Youth Culture and Arts programme of events and activities:

In August 2014, 56 young people and 16 artists and youth workers came together for a pilot arts and cultural programme in Dorset, UK. The partners were from 4 different countries, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Romania and the UK and we were joined by young people of many different abilities and from other countries including Africa, the Middle East and from other parts of Europe.

We developed ideas for a 5 year programme of youth activities through culture and the arts looking at issues of Democracy, Equality, Inclusion and Diversity, Social Justice and Human Rights. We explored multiple art forms including Parkour, Music, Photography, Film, Dance and Theatre.

At the request of many young people who took part in 2014, the first main event will be in Srebrenica from 2 – 22 August 2015 and will involve other towns from across Bosnia and Herzegovina including Jelah, Siroki, Travnik, Sarajevo, Mostar and Tuzla, amongst others.

Artists will join us from our 12 partnerships from 7 different countries including Italy, Portugal and Georgia to our existing partners from Serbia, Romania, BiH (the Youth Council Srebrenica) and the UK. The list of partners can be found at the bottom of this page.

Interviews can be organised with our press coordinator, the journalist
