Sarajevo Receives a Mural Dedicated to Social Inclusion, Gender Equality, and Climate Resilience – Project Led by BHAAAS Member Prof. Dr. Emira Švraka

A mural has recently been completed on the facade of the Jezero Secondary Medical School in Sarajevo, using a powerful visual expression to promote the values of social inclusion, gender equality, resilience to climate change, and social responsibility. The mural was created as part of the regional project “Strengthening the Resilience of Women with Disabilities to the Impact of Climate Change in the Western Balkans Region.” What gives this project particular significance is the fact that its implementation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is led by the Federation of Associations of Persons with Cerebral Palsy of the Federation of BiH, headed by Dr. Emira Švraka, Director of the Federation, long-time member of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian American Academy of Arts and Sciences (BHAAAS), and Chair of the Fifth International Symposium in Mental Health of Children and Adolescents at this year’s 17th BHAAAS Days.
