Svitac volunteers, Eldar, Milica and Maida had the opportunity to take part in an Erasmus+ seminar focused on connecting organisations, sharing experiences, and building new opportunities for cooperation.
Throughout the seminar, participants from different organisations came together to present their work, exchange ideas, and learn from each other’s experiences. From organisational development and partnership building to youth work and international cooperation, the sessions offered plenty of inspiration for future projects and collaborations.

We also had the chance to present the work of Omladinska organizacija Svitac, sharing our experiences in youth work, community building, volunteering, and creating opportunities for young people in Brčko.

Beyond the sessions, the seminar was also a great opportunity to discover the local culture, architecture and atmosphere of the host city, while connecting with people from different backgrounds.

We also used this opportunity to visit two projects that IBG has organised with young volunteers from Europe.

Different organisations. Different experiences. One shared goal — creating stronger connections and better opportunities for young people.

A big thank you to everyone involved for the inspiring discussions and IBG for inviting us!

Volonteri iz Omladinske organizacije Svitac, Eldar, Milica i Maida su imali priliku učestvovati na Erasmus+ seminaru posvećenom povezivanju organizacija, razmjeni iskustava i stvaranju novih prilika za saradnju.

Tokom seminara, učesnici iz različitih organizacija okupili su se kako bi predstavili svoj rad, razmijenili ideje i učili jedni od drugih. Od razvoja organizacija i izgradnje partnerstava do omladinskog rada i međunarodne saradnje, sesije su pružile mnogo inspiracije za buduće projekte i zajedničke aktivnosti.

Imali smo priliku predstaviti i rad Omladinske organizacije Svitac, podijeliti naša iskustva u radu s mladima, izgradnji zajednice, volontiranju i stvaranju novih prilika za mlade u Brčkom.

Pored edukativnih sesija, seminar je bio i odlična prilika za upoznavanje lokalne kulture, arhitekture i atmosfere grada domaćina, kao i za povezivanje s ljudima iz različitih sredina.

Također smo imali priliku posjetili dva projekta koja su bila organizovana od stane IBG, gdje su učestvovali mladi volonteri iz Evrope.

Različite organizacije. Različita iskustva. Jedan zajednički cilj – stvaranje snažnijih veza i boljih prilika za mlade.

Veliko hvala svima koji su učestvovali i doprinijeli inspirativnim razgovorima i IBG na pozivu!

Međunarodni dan demokratije
Mladi su se okupili na interaktivnoj radionici o demokratiji, otvorenom dijalogu i aktivnom učešću. Kroz diskusiju i razmjenu ideja razgovarali su o tome zašto je demokratija važna u svakodnevnom životu, kao i o značaju slušanja i poštovanja različitih stavova.
Kao kreativni dio radionice, učesnici su zajednički kreirali poster sa ključnim riječima koje odražavaju njihovo razumijevanje demokratije — jednakost, sloboda, poštovanje, dijalog, učešće i odgovornost.

International Day of Democracy
Young people came together for an interactive workshop on democracy, open dialogue, and active participation. Through discussion and the exchange of ideas, participants explored why democracy matters in everyday life and the importance of listening to and respecting different perspectives.
As a creative activity, the participants jointly created a poster with key words reflecting their understanding of democracy — equality, freedom, respect, dialogue, participation, and responsibility.

Međunarodni dan prijateljstva
Povodom Međunarodnog dana prijateljstva, s djecom smo razgovarali o značenju prijateljstva, važnosti međusobnog poštovanja, razumijevanja i podrške. Kroz zajedničke aktivnosti imali su priliku izraziti šta za njih znači biti dobar prijatelj te zašto je njegovanje prijateljskih odnosa važno u svakodnevnom životu.
U kreativnom dijelu radionice učesnici su izradili plakat na temu prijateljstvo, te su pisali pisma svojim najboljim prijateljima, dijeleći lijepe riječi, zahvalnost i poruke podrške. Ovim aktivnostima zajedno smo obilježili dan koji nas podsjeća da prijateljstvo gradi mostove, jača zajedništvo i doprinosi stvaranju sigurnog i poticajnog okruženja za svako dijete.

International Day of Friendship
To mark the International Day of Friendship, we spent time with the participants talking about the meaning of friendship and the importance of respect, understanding, and supporting one another. Through engaging discussions and activities, they shared what being a good friend means to them and why nurturing friendships is an important part of everyday life.
As part of the creative workshop, they designed friendship-themed posters and wrote letters to their best friends, expressing kind words, gratitude, and messages of encouragement. Together, we celebrated the values of friendship, reminding ourselves that strong friendships build connections, strengthen communities, and help create a safe and supportive environment for every child.

Muzika, priroda i zajedništvo u Gornjoj Pecki
U predivnom prirodnom ambijentu Gornje Pecke održan je muzički kamp koji je okupio mlade s ciljem zajedničkog stvaranja, učenja i povezivanja. Tokom kampa učesnici su zajedno pisali autorske pjesme, muzicirali kao veliki ansambl i kroz zajednički rad razvijali svoje kreativne i muzičke vještine.
Pored muzičkih aktivnosti, mladi su učestvovali u radionicama na teme mira, storytellinga i interaktivnim diskusijama koje su podsticale dijalog, razmjenu iskustava i bolje međusobno razumijevanje. Ove aktivnosti doprinijele su izgradnji povjerenja, jačanju empatije i stvaranju novih prijateljstava među učesnicima različitih kulturnih sredina.
Boravak u prirodi pružio je dodatnu vrijednost cijelom iskustvu, nudeći prostor za odmor, inspiraciju i povezivanje s okruženjem. Kamp je još jednom pokazao da muzika, zajedničko učenje i interkulturalna razmjena imaju snagu da povežu mlade, izgrade trajne veze i podstaknu ih da zajedno doprinose izgradnji mirnijeg i povezanijeg društva.

Music, Nature, and Connection at the Gornja Pecka Music Camp
Young people came together in the beautiful surroundings of Gornja Pecka for an inspiring music camp filled with creativity, learning, and connection. Throughout the camp, participants collaborated on writing original songs, played music as one large ensemble, and explored the power of collective creativity.
Beyond music, they took part in workshops focused on peace building, storytelling, and meaningful discussions that encouraged dialogue, empathy, and mutual understanding. These activities created a space where participants could share their experiences, learn from one another, and build lasting friendships across cultures.
Spending time in nature added a special dimension to the experience, offering a chance to slow down, recharge, and find inspiration in the peaceful environment. The camp highlighted how music, shared learning, and intercultural exchange can bring people together, strengthen bonds, and inspire young people to become active contributors to more connected and peaceful communities.
