After the delicious breakfast we had an activity called Scavenger Hunt which took place in Mostar’s Old Town. You can see comments and pictures below.
“The monument was made to honor a Bosnian writer Osman Djikic. After a primary school was ruined, they decided to build the monument instead of that.”
“The Bruce Lee statue in Mostar symbols solidarity and creates a connection between different people.”
“Hamam is Turkish bath, built for islamic workers and we heard that local muslims really enjoy it.”
“It’s a statue of a Bosnian writer Aleksa Šantić who was well known for his poems: “Emina” and “Ostanite ovde” (Stay here). He’s buried in Mostar and the statue is very important to locals.”
“Brankovac is a part of Mostar and it was easy to find because it’s a famous part of the town and everyone knows where it is.”
“During the exchange there’s even time for a mix of culture and relaxing. In this particular case the relaxing part took place in front of the Mostarska Liska and the Synagoge… Occassion of relaxation!!”
After the Scavenger Hunt we had a democracy workshop by Serbia. The main topic was the case if the youth initiative of human rights. We were divided into fictional political groups and pretend that we were citizens of a fictional country willing to join the “Sunny Union”. During this role play all of us got very passionate about their roles. This was definitely a very educational workshop and inspired by real life problems that many countries face.
After the workshop it was time for evaluation and dinner. It was a great day full of entertainment and education!
