Omladinski Centar
The Gornji Vakuf/Uskoplje Youth Center was founded in 1996, soon after the signing of the Dayton peace agreement that ended the war. One of the main goals of the Center is to encourage youth to take major roles in peace building as an alternative to the separatism, polarization, and politicization they’ve been raised with. Because the school systems of the town had been divided, there was not a single space in all of Gornji Vakuf where young people, their parents, and teachers could meet. The Center is situated on the cease-fire line in a location perceived as safe for people from both sides of the community. While organized around the needs of the young people who participate in its programs, the Youth Center naturally draws in parents and teachers from both sides of town, giving them a safe place to interact. The Center conducts a variety of classes, training programs, workshops, camps, and collaborative projects with other domestic and international NGOs.
