In Kaunas, Lithuania in the period from May 24th to June 1st, 2022, within the Erasmus + project, a youth exchange "Peace at War" was held, implemented by the organization "Active Youth". Bosnia and Herzegovina and our organization were represented by six participants: Belmin Delić, Damir Mahmutović, Ajla Čaušević, Nedžma Čančar, Kemal Oračević, and Lamija Ahmetagić. In addition to young people from our country, young people from Romania, Sweden, Cyprus, Georgia, and Lithuania also participated in the project.

The aim of this project was to empower young people from war-torn countries to speak, reflect and exchange views on the history of conflict in their home countries, and to share experiences about the anomalies of post-conflict societies they encounter on a daily basis. This project also focused on the acquisition of knowledge on peacebuilding, focusing on the role of young people in this process.

Participants had the opportunity to participate in a multitude of practical and dynamic workshops, with a focus on the topicality of stereotypes, prejudices, and other negative consequences of post-conflict societies. In addition, the project included getting to know different cultures, through the activity "Cultural night", a tour of Kaunas, and other interesting interactive activities for young people.

This is another successful event behind Youth for Peace from which our participants emerge with great and significant experience. The Erasmus + program enables participants to show responsibility for the customs and culture of their community, to build and show respect for the traditions and customs of other communities, as well as to raise awareness of the importance of European values ​​on a daily basis.
