Association EVIA realized the project “Together for a better Zenica-Doboj Canton: education, dialogue and culture”, aimed at young people from the area of Zenica-Doboj Canton.
Through a series of interactive workshops, young people worked on strengthening their own competencies, promoting healthy lifestyles, and developing dialogue and culture. The project involved the Medical School Zenica, the “Edhem Mulabdić” High School Maglaj and the First High School Zenica.
The final manifestation of the project was held today in the City Library of Zenica, and the guest of the event was the Prime Minister of the Zenica-Doboj Canton, Nezir Pivić, who socialized with the project participants and answered their questions.
– This project is not just a series of activities, but a clear message that we are building the future of the Zenica-Doboj Canton together, through investing in people, especially young people, through conversation, mutual understanding and a culture of responsibility. The government of the Zenica-Doboj canton has been consistently working on these principles for the past two years, and the achieved results in the areas of security, education, health, economy and social protection are the foundation of a stable and secure society in which young people have a reason to stay, get educated, work and create – said Prime Minister Pivić, who was presented with a certificate of thanks for supporting the implementation of the project.
The Prime Minister particularly emphasized the importance of investing in education and youth, noting that more than 20 million convertible marks were invested in education, student standards and sports, and that free textbooks were provided for all primary school students, almost 3,000 scholarships for students and pupils, as well as significant funds for sports and youth development.
The organizers pointed out that the project achieved its goals, and that the final manifestation confirmed its importance and social significance.
Association EVIA works with the aim of improving the position of young people through education, development of competences and strengthening of their life opportunities, and implements projects focused on education, mental health and active participation of young people in society.
