Birkegarden School and Network Meeting

In April, we had visitors from Birkegarden School from Stockholm. After talking about the project and reviewing the documentation, our Swedish partners said it was their wish to make ABF Busovača the official center of the school for adults and to direct its activities towards its independency.

ABF members attended the Network Meeting held in Mostar. The meeting was attended by every organization in BiH that is sponsored by Olof Palme center. First, they all presented their reports, and afterward they all attended the seminar on how to become independent and financially supported.

It was emphasized that each and every organization should continue contributing its community, and also continue asking for support on local, cantonal, federal and state levels; they should also examine the possibilities of financing from EU funds, together with well prepared staff, who can present their ideas and write their projects according to the EU standards.

This three-day meeting also resulted in exchanging multiple ideas among organizations of network. At this meeting, ABF Busovača was presented by Violeta Relota and Josip Lukin.

The following period of time, ABF team will be preparing data for the annual meeting and the celebration of 12 year anniversary of ABF.
