Cross-border volunteering for peace and reconciliation is a tool that combines community engagement and peace education, both essential for strengthening civic and intercultural competence, a decisive element for reconciliation as well as democratization of WB societies.
The staff of the Institute for Youth Development KULT celebrated International Volunteer Day in the most fitting pursuit - volunteering. This decision was driven by the need to draw attention to volunteering and aim advocacy efforts towards government institutions and CSOs working with volunteers, especially youth.
In celebration of International Volunteer Day, the Institute for Youth Development KULT organized a conference called "Volunteer now for our common future."
Pravo Ljudski Film Festival is another partner of the Institute for Youth Development KULT in the implementation of the cross-border volunteer exchange program ROUTE WB6 in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
During the 16th Pravo Ljudski Film Festival, a group of ten young volunteers from the Western Balkans stayed in Sarajevo to take part in organizing the festival’s many events such as screenings, discussions, and interactive workshops with authors and directors of documentaries on human rights.
After Sarajevo, Banja Luka is the next city to welcome ROUTE WB6 volunteers. By signing a cooperation agreement with the Institute for Youth Development KULT, the Association Zdravo da ste became a volunteering organizer participating in the testing of the MAXI pilot scheme of the regional volunteer exchange program ROUTE WB6 in BiH.
