One of the goals of this program is to promote intercultural understanding and cooperation through the development of basketball in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Funded projects have been developed so that as many young basketball players as possible get the opportunity to learn and apply the methods that coaches have adopted through this Program. Also, great emphasis is given to the social component where it tries to convey to young people that in addition to sports, they also think about their environment in which they work and live.
Clubs and schools involved in the project are: BC BASKET 2000 – BANJA LUKA, BC PLAY OFF – SARAJEVO, BASKETBALL SCHOOL START – TUZLA, BC WBS BASKETBALL – TESLIC, BC LIONS – TUZLA, OKK PRNJAVOR – PRNJAVAS – FK SALIN , BC FINDO – DOBOJ, BC BUDUĆNOST – BIJELJINA, MSŠ BOSANKI PETROVAC – B. PETROVAC and SSŠ SILVIJA KRANJČEVIĆ – LIVNO.
Funding for the program was provided by the US State Bureau of Education and Culture and the United States Embassy in Sarajevo with the Center for Intercultural Education and Development at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, in cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Partner Citizens Association.
