The network influences over 5 million young people yearly, with over 36 000 diverse annual musical events and programs. Association ―akustikUm – Muzička omladina JMBH‖ has been a member of the network since 2012, and therefore a formal representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, although the organization should operate on a national level, challenges regarding political system in Bosnia and Herzegovina occur, preventing the development of Jeunesses Musicales and disabling it from reaching its full potential. The aim of the research was to investigate potential challenges and transformations of this organization within the political system of Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to generate conclusions about its impact on development of musical culture in the country. The research also includes a case study design in form of a strategic analysis of Association ―akustikUm – Muzička omladina JMBH‖ which is a pioneering research as the organization has not previously engaged in a strategic scrutiny of its work, therefore the paper also provides concrete recommendations for future development based on the aspirations to develop into Jeunesses Musicales Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research involved a thorough desk research of the theoretical background, case study analysis and a field research in form of semi-structured interviews with ministers, experts in the field of music, secretary general of akustikUm and Jeunesses Musicales International, while structured interviews were conducted among volunteers of the organization.

    ART & RECONCILIATION CONFLICT CULTURE COMMUNITY Working Paper Series Fairey, Tiffany. 2019. ‘Evaluation Report: Balkan Diskurs Youth Correspondents Programme, Bosnia and Herzegovina.’ Art and Reconciliation Working Paper Series. Available at: https://artreconciliation.org/research-activities/publications/ https://artreconciliation.org/ Fairey, T. 2019. Evaluation Report: Balkan Diskurs Youth Correspondents Programme 2017-18, Bosnia And Herzegovina. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report details evaluative research on Balkan Diskurs Youth Correspondents Program conducted over 2017-18. Balkan Diskurs Youth Correspondents Program is run by Post Conflict Research Centre (PCRC), a peacebuilding organisation based in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The evaluative research sought to explore how the program was experienced by the youth correspondent participants and whether (and how) it did or did not affect their attitudes towards reconciliation and capacity as young peace-builders and change makers. The evaluation was conducted by researchers working on the AHRC funded, Art & Reconciliation. Balkan Diskurs Youth Correspondents Program is shown to be a successful model for enabling youth-driven participatory media and peace-building by building the capacity, creativity and skills of young people identified as potential change-makers. Solidifying their positive attitudes towards inter-ethnic co-operation, reconciliation and inclusive society, the project amplified and extended the profiles and networks of its active participants as young peace-builders and media professionals. The Balkan Diskurs platform provides a unique space for young people to define, share and influence peace-building and civil society narratives and agendas. This report details the objectives of the evaluative research; the evaluation data complied and provides an analysis of the key findings on participant profiles, participation levels, outputs and participant perceptions of the project experience.

  • Educational Technology & Education Conferences
    Educational Technology and Education Conferences for June to December 2015, Edition #33 Prepared by Clayton R. Wright, crwr77 at gmail.com, May 12, 2015 The 33rd edition of the conference list covers selected events that primarily focus on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration. Only listings until December 2015 are complete as dates, locations, or Internet addresses (URLs) were not available for a number of events held from January 2016 onward. In order to protect the privacy of individuals, only URLs are used in the listing as this enables readers of the list to obtain event information without submitting their e-mail addresses to anyone. A significant challenge during the assembly of this list is incomplete or conflicting information on websites and the lack of a link between conference websites from one year to the next. An explanation for the content and format of the list can be found at http://newsletter.alt.ac.uk/2011/08/why- distribute-documents-in-ms-word-or-openoffice-for-an-international-audience/. A Word or an OpenOffice format is used to enable people with limited or high-cost Internet access to find a conference that is congruent with their interests or obtain conference abstracts or proceedings. Consider using the “Find” tool under Microsoft Word’s “Edit” tab or similar tab in OpenOffice to locate the name of a particular conference, association, city, or country. If you enter the country “Singapore” in the “Find” tool, all conferences that occur in Singapore will be highlighted. Or, enter the word “research” or “assessment”.

They adopted inaction from the Orient and cozy lifestyle from the West; they never rush anywhere, because life itself is in a hurry; they are not driven to find out what will come after tomorrow—it will be as it was written, and that can hardly depend on them.” Meša Selimović, famous Bosnian writer For many travelers, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a new and unexplored destination. But more than a hundred years ago, the first tourists traveled the country, which at the time was under the reign of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The trip was organized by Thomas Cook & Sons Company of London, which was later transformed into the Hapag Lloyd. They also published the first «Tourist Guide to the country» in 1898. The two-week tour started at the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in Dobrljin including stops in Banja Luka, Jajce, Bugojno, Jablanica, Mostar, Sarajevo, Travnik, Doboj and Tuzla. The Berlin Tourist Office began offering similar trips shortly after. The historical charm of these cities remains and makes them worth visiting. Bosnia and Herzegovina is today connected to all European centers by air, and with thoroughfares in and out of Croatia.
