Project "You are to blame if we love you": High school students from Bugojno visited their peers from Nikšić

For the previous four days, the students of the High School of Economics and Catering from Nikšić were hosts to their peers from the High Technical School from Bugojno, from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The visit of high school students was organized as part of the "You are guilty if we love you" project, which the aforementioned schools from Nikšić and Bugojno implement as part of the "Superschool" program.

"In the project, balanced gender structure, 24 students aged 15 to 17 participate, 12 students each from both schools. The main goal of the project is to show that sports activities can influence the construction and development of peace and tolerance between communities and within societies." said Professor Olivera Lučić from the Nikšić School of Economics.

Pupils from Bugojno visited the cultural-historical and religious sights of the town under Trebjes, they were also received by the President of the Municipality Marko Kovačević, and games, sessions and workshops were organized. The people of Nikšić will pay a return visit to their peers from Bugojno in September.

"Young people have the opportunity to try their hand at sports activities, workshops and sessions on the topic of intercultural learning, non-violent conflict resolution, familiarization with healthy lifestyles, different cultures and traditions, as well as various cultural and entertainment activities, such as city tours, film, theater and music evenings," said Lučić.

As she explained, the "Superschool" program includes school exchanges in the Western Balkans, which aims to support the processes of building peace and reconciliation and intercultural learning and dialogue between schools, students and their communities.

This program is part of the multi-donor project "School Exchange Program in the Western Balkans" jointly financed by the European Union and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Regional Office for Youth Cooperation (RYCO ).
