The Network for Building Peace, United World College (UWC) Mostar, forumZFD in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Forum Civil Peace Service), and the Local Democracy Agency Mostar (LDA Mostar), with the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, are organizing the celebration of the International Day of Peace on September 21, and UWC Day on September 21.
During the event, the ‘Goran Bubalo Peace Award’ will be presented, and the ‘Global Campaign for Peace Education’ will be marked on September 20. Additionally, there will be educational activities, conferences, theatrical performances, and workshops attended by students from 72 different countries, including those from regions currently experiencing conflicts. We will conclude the event with a rock concert aimed at young people and anyone who feels young at heart.
The first ‘Peace Conference,’ organized by UWC Mostar, was held last year in Mostar. The Days of Peace will provide an additional opportunity to promote peace and reconciliation in the country and the region, and to call upon decision-makers to resolve conflicts peacefully.
On this occasion, we are gathering peace activists, teachers, experts, educators, and young activists. We invite all representatives from the formal and informal education sectors, civil society organizations, and interested individuals to join us for the Days of Peace in Mostar.
