Last Friday, June 28, 2024, the 10th birthday of Youth for Peace was celebrated on the premises of the Children's Home in Grbavica. Behind Youth for Peace are 10 years filled with work and contribution to Bosnian-Herzegovinian society and, most importantly, a large number of young people who have gone through YfP educational programs. This birthday was an opportunity for members, friends, associates and partners of Youth for Peace to gather and celebrate the first decade of the Organization's existence in a pleasant atmosphere.

With a suitable program, those gathered were reminded of the most beautiful moments, successes, projects and work of the Organization in the last ten years. The host of the program was Berina Bulatović, a member of the Board of Coordinators, while Lejla Hasandedić-Đapo, one of the co-founders of Youth for Peace, Emina Frljak and Samira Fatma Baručija-Homoraš, members of the Board of Coordinators, also addressed the guests. The guests also had the opportunity to hear messages from friends and associates of YfP who come from different countries around the world. So the guests listened to the address of Maria Crespo from Argentina on behalf of the organization United Religions Initiative, Angelina Vladikova from Bulgaria on behalf of the organization Bridges, Samir Akacha on behalf of the organization Coexister from France and Matthew Youd from Wales.

 
"Everything we did and everything we do is our small contribution to making this world better, more beautiful and more peaceful. Unfortunately, the situation in which the world is today shows that we have to work even harder, to invest in peace, promote peace education, learn, network and achieve partnerships with others, both in BiH and beyond. Alone we can do little, but together we can do much more. Thank you all for being here and for making this world at least a little better place with your work", said Emina Frljak in her address to the guests.

Refreshments, food and cake were served after the program. This served as an opportunity for those present to get to know each other, connect and create new partnerships for promoting and building a more peaceful Bosnian-Herzegovinian society.
