Ambasador Sattler pridružio se mladima iz cijele zemlje u proslavi rezultata programa Generation Change

Evropska unija u Bosni i Hercegovini proslavila je jučer uspješan završetak programa Generation Change, koji je ove godine obuhvatio 600 mladih ljudi iz cijele zemlje, od kojih je 11 nagrađeno studijskim putovanjem u Brisel.

Po drugi put zaredom, Generation Change program je mladima iz različitih dijelova zemlje i zanimanja pružio jedinstvenu platformu za povezivanje, saradnju i inovacije. Sa dva segmenta programa, rad sa studentima na javnim univerzitetima, ali i Političkom akademijom za mlade, program je učesnicima omogućio alate za razvoj njihovih ideja i kampanja na društvenim mrežama, kojima su ostvarili doseg više od 2.5 miliona ljudi.

"Generation Change nije samo program—to je pokret mladih umova okupljenih kako bi izgradili ideje za bolju budućnost Bosne i Hercegovine. Entuzijazam i kreativnost koju su pokazali mladi iz cijele zemlje su zaista impresivni. Uvjeren sam da će iskustva stečena ovdje, a uskoro i u Briselu, osnažiti ove mlade lidere da ostvare trajan pozitivan uticaj." naglasio je Johann Sattler, šef Delegacije EU i specijalni predstavnik EU u Bosni i Hercegovini.

Jovana Perić, studentica sa Fakulteta poslovne ekonomije u Bijeljini, istakla je da će se svi učesnici složiti da je ovo iskustvo bilo drugačije i zanimljivije od svega u čemu su ranije učestvovali. "Energija je uvijek bila veoma prijateljska i pozitivna, što je doprinijelo tome da svako od nas pokaže svoj potencijal i kreativnost.", kaže Jovana.

Ove godine, priča o Generation Change-u je svjedočanstvo talenta, inovacije i saradnje mladih Bosne i Hercegovine. Kao priznanje za njihove izvanredne napore, najuspješniji učesnici su nagrađeni studijskim putovanjem u Brisel, gdje će imati priliku predstaviti svoj rad i steći vrijedan uvid u funkcionisanje Evropske unije.

"Biti dio Generation Change Političke akademije za mlade zaista je bila čast i privilegija. Akademija je okupila ljude koje možda nikada ne bih upoznala, a koji su sada postali moji bliski prijatelji. Zajedno smo istraživali gradove širom Bosne i Hercegovine, radili na zajedničkim inicijativama, učili i podržavali jedni druge. Posebno su me impresionirale moje kolege, sa nekima od kojih, sada mogu podijeliti iskustvo zajedničkog putovanja u sjedište EU." zaključuje Lejla Mustafić, projektna koordinatorica Hilfswerk International.

The European Union in Bosnia and Herzegovina celebrated yesterday the successful conclusion of this year’s Generation Change programme. This year’s programme engaged 600 young people from across the country, out of which 11 of them have been awarded a study trip to Brussels.

For the second year in a row, Generation Change provided young people from different parts of the county and backgrounds a unique platform to connect, collaborate, and innovate. With two components of the programme, outreach to students at public universities, as well as a Youth Political Academy, Generation Change provided young people with tools to develop their ideas and social media campaign which enabled them to reach over 5 million people.

"Generation Change is not just a programme —it's a movement of young minds coming together to build ideas for a better future for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The enthusiasm and creativity shown by young people from across the country are truly impressive. I’m confident that the experiences gained here, and soon in Brussels, will empower these young leaders to make a lasting impact.” emphasised Johann Sattler, the Head of the EU Delegation and EU Special Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Jovana Perić, a student from the Faculty of Business Economics in Bijeljina emphasized that all participants will agree that this experience was different and more interesting than anything they have participated in so far. “The energy was always very friendly and positive, which contributed to each of us showcasing our potential and creativity.” says  Jovana.

This year’s Generation Change story is a testament to the talent, innovation, and cooperation of Bosnia and Herzegovina's youth. In recognition of their outstanding efforts, the best-performing participants have been awarded a study trip to Brussels, where they will have the opportunity to present their work and gain valuable insights into the functioning of the European Union.

"Being a part of the Generation Change Youth Political Academy has truly been an honour and a privilege. The Academy brought together people I might never have met otherwise, who have now become close friends. We explored cities across Bosnia and Herzegovina together, worked on joint initiatives, learned from each other, and supported one another. I was particularly impressed by my colleagues, with some of whom now I can share experience of traveling together to EU HQ.", concludes Lejla Mustafić, Youth Political Academy participant.
