This Is How It All Began Centre of Cultivating Dialogue 1997 - 2011 This is how it all began... In the year of 1997, a date not so recent anymore, a handful of enthusiasts initiated a program one hardly could have predicted to have a bright future considering the political, economic and educational reforms of the day. Still, now, ten years into the future, the program can boast a myriad of activities and participants, an achievement easily paramount to that of any international program. The first teachers to be involved in the program could not have even imagined that they would be a part of the team that would participate in activities like seminars, meetings, round table discussions, summer camps, debate activities at the school level, TV debates, and world championships. Still harder was it for them to imagine that these activities would eventually become a matter of tradition, one that future generations can look up to and admire. Since 1997 over 150 high school teachers from 77 Bosnian towns have been given the education and training through, on average, somewhat less than 80 activities each year. The program itself was obviously not created bearing teachers in mind, but first and foremost for the benefit of young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The goal has been to educate and train them in the skills of debating and consequently teach them about democracy and tolerance, the skills and knowledge they could apply in their daily work. The way the „Debate Centre“ has strived towards this goal is by utilizing the modern concept of education by fostering direct cooperation between all participants in game like activities insisting on practicing verbal skills, cross examination, argument building and research. The total number of people involved in the aforementioned activities has grown to 23.000 and all of them have gotten out of it something which they can find of use even today. What is important to keep in mind when in debating program is the following maxim: „HEAR ME OUT, RESPECT ME, DON'T DEMEAN AND VALUE!“ FAIRNESS! Learn more about the Centre of Cultivating Dialogue The debate program was founded in 1997 and was implemented within the Open Society Fund – SOROS B&H, non-governmental, non-partisan and non-profit program for high school students and teachers from all parts of Bosnia. At the time it was one of the youngest programs in the network of debate programs and is now a member of International Debate Education Organization (IDEA). In January 2005 the Debate Program evolved into the Centre of Cultivating Dialogue, a non-governmental organization, thus expanding its mission and goals. Since 2010 CCD is a member of World Debate Organization for „World School“ debate format (WSDC). In 15 years of its existence and work the CCD has continually reached out and cooperated, before all, to the Bosnian youth driven by the fact that Bosnian society can become a truly democratic one only if young people are given the opportunity to develop their skills, overcome obstacles and prejudices set before them by society, and start communicating with their peers the world over. It is CCD's stance that the entire Bosnian society is hindered, its progress arrested by ceaseless conflicts, but at the same time by investing substantially in its youngest generations as the bearers of progress Bosnia can advance on its course of European integration. Therefore, CCD focuses all of its activities towards the youth as its target group. Due to a multitude of artificial divisions the young face growing up in B&H, since their earliest years, they have developed extensive prejudice towards the other and the different. Simultaneously, due to a paucity of systematic and continuous activities pursuing the solution to this problem, these malformed convictions become a widely accepted form of thought. 1 Centre of Cultivating Dialogue 1997 - 2011 The mission of the program is to foster critical thinking and democratic principles of decision making The mission creating by the means of debate a new democratic model of civil society having in mind that there is more to abolishing a totalitarian political establishment than setting up new political institutions, namely enabling the new modes of thinking to permeate all spheres of private and public life. The vision Both the vision and the goals of CCD are, before all, educational in their nature and involve, but are not limited to the following: nurturing an open society by assisting with activities that promote a free exchange of ideas, tolerance, critical thinking and regional and international cooperation. In the strides towards achieving its mission and making its vision a reality, CCD attempts to: Execute, organize, coordinate, support and participate in educational and other types of activities and programs which are of benefit to the public, no matter whether they are organized by CCD or other people and organizations or their subdivisions who: acknowledge the goals and mission of CCD, support the development of open society, democracy, democratic values, freedoms and human rights, promulgate the common goals of IDEA member organizations by contributing, financially or otherwise, to sustain and extend the credibility and efficiency of CCD's activities and programs Execute, organize, coordinate, support as well as participate in programs and activities which are, referring to the decision of the General Assembly, constructive and consistent with the goals defined and set forth by CCD, in accordance with the law and contribute to public good. Extend financial, material and any other assistance to persons or organizations who implement programs complementary to the vision and goals of CCD through approved financial programs and projects Restrain from promulgating adverse influence to the law making process Restrain from participating or being involved in any political campaign, be it for or against any candidate for a post in public service, which includes not publishing announcements in regards to the aforementioned processes. The goals The goals include: Stimulating the development of culture of dialogue by enabling the youth and other interested parties to become the bearers of positive change, primarily within the educational system, aiming towards promotion of democratic models of communication and decision making, Promoting human rights and protection of human rights for all B&H citizens equally Stimulating the interactive method of communication in schools Promoting creativity and activity in youth and the development of critical thinking, thus empowering a generation of socially aware citizens Collecting documentation, disseminating and publicly presenting information on youth, educating on the issues of human rights, culture, science and society in general Promoting children’s rights and all aspects of child protection and protection of marginalized and vulnerable groups in B&H Supporting the empowerment of student councils in their advisory role in schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina Initiating and supporting the creation of public debates in B&H Promoting, advocating in favor of and gain acknowledgement for the needs of the youth in public life and government structure at any level in the matters pertaining to education and other relevant topics Promoting the culture of dialogue in the official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as in the languages of minorities and English and other foreign languages Increasing the level of tolerance and bolstering respect towards ideas, attitudes, convictions and ethnic groups other than one's own Publishing magazines, books, periodicals and other materials related to the goals of the Association and the education of the youth and wider public CCD is a non-profit organization and no part of the financial assets, income or donations will be allocated to or benefit any single individual. Reasonable compensation will be given to individual persons or organizations for their services in the employ of CCD sanctioned activities in accordance with the goals of CCD. 2 Centre of Cultivating Dialogue 1997 - 2011 Organization chart Membership Areas of Activities engagement Membership fees Partners Budget Faculty Project partners Donations Schools Trainers Media NGO Debaters sector Government institutions Donors Areas of Areas of engagement and Activities activities engagement Research Education Competitions (international, Informal education state, regional) Providing information Seminars Media Education Secondary education - reforms Round tables Tertiary education - reforms Public debates Active participation of youth in TV debates Bosnian society – youth activism Courses Civil society Conferences Youth counselling Excursions (expert Youth networking exchanges, scholarships) Student councils Volunteering Student associations Stipends Youth work Humanitarian work Culture Advocacy and lobbying Sexual and reproductive health PR Youth policies Publishing Transitional justice Public speaking schools Human rights Promoting culture of dialogue Children’s rights Thematic areas that are of current interest in B&H and world 3 Centre of Cultivating Dialogue 1997 - 2011 Human resources Sanja Vlaisavljevic, CEO CONSTANT EXTERNAL ASSOCIATE: .

Aside from the likes of reconciliation, rule of law or constitutional reform, it has been one of the focuses of reforms, interventions and donor activities for much of the country’s 20 years’ post-war period. While the concept is difficult to define, it is certain that the implications of it permeate the lives of ‘ordinary citizens’ every day. Good governance is related to just about any policy, ranging from social policy or rural development, healthcare provision or educational standards, to road maintenance or utility policies. Experiencing inadequate provision of drinking water, a collapsing healthcare system or low schooling standards, it is clear to almost every citizen of BiH that the government in this sense is not performing well. But in spite of the central role good governance plays in ensuring the (at least the very basic) quality of lives of Bosnians, it is not a topic discussed in the media, among citizens or let alone by politicians.

    In-Depth of Energy Review Efficiency Policies BOSNIA Programmes: AND and HERZEGOVINA In-Depth Review of In-Depth Review of Energy Efficiency Policies Energy Efficiency and Programmes: BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Policies and Programmes: Bosnia and Herzegovina ratified the Energy Charter Treaty and the Protocol on Energy Efficiency and Related Environmental Aspects (PEEREA) in 2001. By ratifying the Protocol, countries commit themselves to formulate and implement policies for improving energy efficiency and reducing the negative environmental impact of the energy cycle (Art. 5). The guiding principle of the PEEREA is that contracting parties shall cooperate and, as appropriate, assist each other in developing and implementing energy efficiency policies, laws and regulations (Art. 3). The country review process is a core activity in monitoring and facilitating the implementation of the Protocol. The in-depth energy efficiency reviews, implemented under the PEEREA, have proven to be an important tool in assessing the progress of member countries in fulfilling their commitments under the Protocol. They also provide peer guidance to governments in developing and implementing energy efficiency policies. This in-depth review of energy efficiency policies of Bosnia and Herzegovina was carried out in 2011, following a regular review report submitted by the Bosnia and Herzegovina authorities in 2008.
