Last weekend, from January 29th until January 31st the first meeting within the project Youth Ambassadors was held. The project is realized by Youth for Peace in cooperation with the United Religions Initiative. During this meeting youth ambassadors, with the support of their mentors, created the plan of the whole project, and expressed their needs regarding to knowledge and skills that is necessary for them to gain, in order to become more quality change makers in the society. During the first meeting youth from 18 to 21 years old, from different parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina had the opportunity to meet each other, to meet their mentors, to form a team and to set up basics of trust and cooperation.

In the next 9 months youth will have more meetings and trainings during which they will gain necessary knowledge and skills for the implementation of common project with the aim of promotion of peace and interreligious dialogue, and that will be the crown of the whole program. Next meeting is planned for the beginning of March and after that each ambassador will get his/her mentor who will support him/her during the project.

On this way Youth for Peace strengthens its own capacities, continues with the peace building activities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and promotion of youth activism in the society.
