‘CITIZEN, THAT’S ME’ Caravan will start in June, and will visit all major cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, running the public campaign, that will primarily point out the role of young people in social changes, promoting the fundamental civil freedoms, proactively encouraging young people to use voting right on the forthcoming General Elections (October, 2010).


FREE CITIZENS DISCUSSION

Within the organised visits to BiH cities, we will organise open discussions on number of sensitive issues relevant to our society, primarily dealing with transitional justice, and the process of facing past, ethnical segregation, discrimination, minority rights, civil freedoms ( expression of opinion, movement, association) , as well as issues of general interest for youth.

MY CITIIZEN’S STANDING

This part of the project is targeted towards publicising of young peoples’ reaction to the events and trends in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region, promotion of young authors, writing of commonly agreed reactions. Naturally, this includes basic workshops for activists in relation to writing reactions, reports, and texts concerning human rights protection.

The programme is open to public, and ‘BA.YIHR’ will be basic medium for publication of contents resulting from this idea. Also, it will be an integral part of the general ‘CITIZEN, THAT’S ME’, project, opening an opportunity for expression of opinion to young people in BiH .
