Sponsor Bosnian-Herzegovinian youth to build peace

Our 2013-2014 Peace Camp has ended and we have been busy preparing for this year's training. 

We trained twenty young Bosnian people from across the country in overcoming trauma, stereotypes, and conflict, and empowered them to go back to their home communities to apply the learning by further facilitating peace activities. Each participant planned and implemented around 20 hours of workshops, and those who were the most active and keen to be involved in peacebuilding work in the long run, will be returning to the Camp this year, to help co-facilitate some of our workshops, this resulting in them becoming qualified trainers of trainers. 

Our next Peace Camp will be held on the 24th of August. We have recruited 20 more young participants. Based on feedback, we always try to improve at least one aspect of the training every year. In order to better evaluate our impact, we are now evaluating the participants both at the beginning and the end of the training, in order to be able to better measure the change that takes place in the 7 day training. We will then continue to monitor and evaluate progress as per usual throughout the year. 

This summer we also hosted two evaluators from globalgiving who came to help us improve our communications, reporting, and social media skills. We now have a new reporting strategy in place, and we will aim to get better at communicating the impact of training peace camp participants in their own communities. 

So far this year, you have helped us raise over $1000. Thanks to everyone who supports our cause, be it financial or not. 

In Peace, 

The CIM Team
