“Academy is excellently designed, planned and organized project. It consists of ideal elements of informal education and motivation tools that are perfectly connected in one unit that enables participant to grasp wholistic picture about his position in society, opportunities that are offered to him and ways how he can become excellent and useful member of society.”

Milan Todorović (Sarajevo)

“The Academy has helped me to perceive today’s fast life tempo and that I need to use every chance that is offered to me. Also, I have found partly an answer what do I want to be when I grow up which is very important to me. Feelings that I experienced in the days of the Academy left great mark on my heart and in my head.”

Maida Dlakić (Bugojno)

“Participation on the Academy expanded my horizons and my knowledge is definitely enriched. I was really glad to meet all these young and motivated people who believe in better tomorrow and know what they want to make from their future. I would recommend to all youth not to circumvent this type of education. Such education is truly needed if we want to see with different vision.”

3andrej

Andrej Galić (Mostar)

“I came on the Academy without any expectations and assumptions what is going to be offered to us. But, in the end I went out from it as different person. As a person with regained confidence, I learned how to make a public speech without fear and doubt in myself. I hope that Academy will continue with its work because it is that what Bosnian youth need.”

1ahmedina

Ahmedina Smajlović (Tuzla)

“I am of opinion that organization was on the highest level. I liked selection of lecturers. I especially liked those who shared their life stories with us. I think that all participants are motivated to pursue further self-improvement because all of us do have talents that we need to realize.”
