Friday 02/19/2016 – Production of school chalks, extraction of fertile soil ‘hade’ from Lake Modrac, production of unique lamps, environmentally friendly deodorants and other cosmetics… are just some of the products that primary school students presented at the Fourth Fair of Entrepreneurial Projects of Primary School Students organized within the project “Life skills for the future – we learn, we work!” which is realized by UG Nešto Više. Nine primary schools from the municipalities of Maglaj, Živinice, Mostar and the Brčko District participated in this year’s Fair, all teams were awarded with printers, wireless and other equipment, and five first-place teams received a computer with LCD monitors.
Project “Life skills for the future – we learn, we work!” is part of the extensive project “Support to durable solutions of the Revised Strategy for the Implementation of Annex VII of the Dayton Peace Agreement” worth 8.1 million euros funded by the European Union (in the amount of 7 million euros through IPA 2012), and co-financed (in the amount of 1.1 million euros) and implemented by UNHCR in cooperation with project partners in ten priority municipalities. The project aims to help at least 2,400 vulnerable IDPs and returnees in BiH, including women victims of war, find solutions to the societal challenges they face on a daily basis, through close cooperation between local authorities, local communities, civil society and project partners, together with the Ministry of human rights and refugees of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
