BRAVO BiH

In November 2024, Sarajevo hosted an inspiring youth exchange that brought together young minds eager to explore entrepreneurship and develop essential skills. The week-long
program was filled with workshops, discussions, and cultural activities, creating a unique blend of learning and networking.

 

Participants began by diving into the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, with sessions covering business planning, marketing strategies, and identifying opportunities. Group discussions and workshops encouraged collaboration, problem-solving, and the sharing of diverse perspectives. The program also emphasized teamwork and project management, ensuring attendees left with practical tools for their future endeavors. 

 

 A visit to Mostar provided a chance to learn from local entrepreneurs and explore the city’s history, while free time in Sarajevo allowed participants to connect informally and enjoy the vibrant local culture.

Highlights included a movie night with an entrepreneurial theme and a traditional dinner featuring ćevapi, offering a perfect balance of fun and learning. The event concluded with group presentations of business ideas, where participants showcased their creativity and growth. Certificates were awarded, marking the successful completion of a program that not only taught valuable skills but also built lasting friendships and inspired future initiatives. This youth exchange was a powerful reminder of how education, collaboration, and cultural
exchange can empower the next generation of changemakers.
