The two-day training of communication skills for young researchers under the project “Support Mechanism for Violence Prevention and SALW Risk Reduction” , which is being implemented by Project Genesis from Banja Luka under the auspices of UNICEF BiH and the Swedish International Development Agency, was completed today at Kozara Mountain.
In total 13 high school pupils, from six BiH municipalities covered by the project, participated in the training, which objective was to improve communication and presentation skills.
Participants of the training will apply their practical knowledge at the round tables which will be held in their municipalities during the next two months. At the round tables young people will point out to the problems of violence and weapons in their communities, they will present research they conducted during the project and at the end present action plan to combat these problems. For the realization of these plans a budget is allocated in the amount of 3,000 KM by UNICEF BiH, and also planned is a financial support of local communities.
The project “Support Mechanism for Violence Prevention and SALW Risk Reduction”, which started in July 2013 is being implemented in Derventa, Trn, Kotor Varos, Velika Kladusa, Novi Travnik and Sanski Most.
