The Bosnia Project
The Bosnia Project is a collaboration between the Bosnian NGO Sezam and two American colleges: Swarthmore College and The College of William & Mary.
Each summer, ten American students are selected to work alongside Bosnian college students teaching English and non-violent communication skills to children and teenagers in the central Bosnian town of Zenica. They work alongside staff members of Sezam, a Bosnian non-governmental organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children. By helping young people develop a positive self-image and respect for differences, the Bosnia Project aims to lay a few blocks in the foundation of a lasting peace.
