Action Projects - Bosnia & Herzegovina
Our community takes action to defend democratic values around the world. Explore our Action Projects here.
Action Projects are a core element of our 'Educate, Connect, Inspire Action' model and a major component of both the Sarajevo Fellowship and EDVACAY Fellowship, as well as other Humanity in Action Bosnia and Herzegovina programs. Following the on-site learning modules and programming, Fellows design and implement Action Projects that promote democratic values and create positive change in their own communities. These projects are as diverse as our Fellows themselves, reflecting the many ways in which they apply their new knowledge, skills, and perspectives. Throughout this process, participants benefit from the strong Humanity in Action network, gaining support through shared experience, connections, and guidance.
