to foster reconciliation efforts among youth in BiH at a cross-community level and empower youth groups to conduct a variety of public campaigns that counter ethnic-divise rhetoric at both the local and national levelsKey Activities
Infohouse Association organized several activities which include transforming public spaces with ultra-nationalist graffiti or displays of hate speech, visiting sites of historical importance (such as museum exhibitions of Sarajevo siege, visiting war related memorials and concentration camps, meeting students from Srebrenica), organizing stand-up performances "Public Speaking and Community Dialogue" focused on experiences with reconciliation, as well as conducting interviews. YIHR BiH implemented 7 trial simulation sessions for high school students from BiH, Serbia and Croatia, two debate academies (for high school and university students) and supported five local youth initiatives.
