Letter of intent

Sixth International Summer School „Youth and Heritage“

Stolac, Mostar, Sarajevo

July 24th – August 7th 2011

In cooperation with various organizations, both international and from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the International Forum Bosnia will organize the Sixth International Summer School “Youth and Heritage” from July 24th until August 7th, 2011.

After the successful organization of five international “Youth and Heritage” camps (2006-2010), and after assessment of the results, it has been concluded that the entire endeavour can be significantly improved by founding of an international summer school in which the youth from around the world would explore, develop and apply newly gained knowledge on plurality of the culture of the contemporary world. The aim of the school is that through its three simultaneous features (work, education and entertainment), youth with different regional, ethnic, religious and cultural belonging explore and develop the foundation of tolerant relationships foundation which lies in the equality of different cultural features.

The Sixth International Summer School ”Youth and Heritage” will take place in Stolac, Mostar and Sarajevo. Participants of the school will be thirty young people. They would be selected in accordance with the criteria of educational background or experience, and readiness to participate in the integrated programme of work and education. The school will be organized as interactive relations between civil society, leading experts and the enrolled participants.

All participants would be accommodated in facilities which are at the disposal of the organizers and in family homes. Both accommodation and working locations are envisaged as part of the programme to develop tolerance, hospitality and creativity and initiative.

By mid November of 2010, the organizers will present the integral programme of the school, as well as the procedure for application.

Through this letter, we inform our friends and the public, at home and abroad of our decision to organize the international summer school.

We invite all interested parties to inform us about their will to contribute to the final shaping of the integrated programme, either as co-organizers or participants.
