Where can a single afternoon take you? For more than 50 participants who gathered at Europe House in Sarajevo, the answer was: almost anywhere in Europe. The BRAVO Opportunities and Projects Showcase brought together young people and community members eager to learn what BRAVO offers and what doors the Erasmus+ programme can open.
The event opened with Kenan Junuzović, Project Coordinator and European Solidarity Corps (ESC) Mentor, who spoke about the importance of BRAVO’s work and its role in the community. He presented two of the organisation’s projects, Genderwise and XXI Adults, highlighting their goals, activities and the impact they have had so far. Through these examples, he showed how much BRAVO offers to the community and how broad the scope of its work has become, from youth empowerment and non-formal education to social inclusion and international cooperation.
More about the event
Azra Tupkušić, Project Coordinator and Member of BRAVO’s Management Board, followed with a practical overview of the opportunities available, from youth exchanges and training courses to volunteering and other mobility programmes. She explained how to find calls that match personal interests and goals, how the application process works, and what participants can expect before, during and after their experience abroad. Her step-by-step approach helped demystify the process, particularly for those considering applying for the first time.
After the presentations, participants joined an informal gathering where they could talk to the speakers and the BRAVO team, ask individual questions and share their own experiences.
The showcase once again confirmed that there is strong interest among young people in international opportunities and active participation in their communities. BRAVO thanks Europe House Sarajevo for hosting the event and all participants for their engagement and energy.
