The annual Youth Conference of the Association XY and partner organizations, activists and members of Be a Man Clubs from across Bosnia and Herzegovina sent a clear message:
“WE WANT PROGRAM Y IN ALL SCHOOLS”
We, the youth of the Federation of BiH, Republika Srpska and the Brcko District, need Life Skills Education that will help us to have healthier and better lives. Only when we are safe from violence and with healthy habits and equal opportunities, we can build a society where young people remain committed to the development of our local communities.
Seventy young activists, peer educators from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina gathered in Sarajevo for the annual Association XY Youth Conference to promote health and healthy lifestyles. The occasion of this year’s gathering is the exchange of experiences of young people from different cities of Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to further improve the quality of the peer education program of the Association XY.
