IKJF – Inter-cultural Youth Promotion Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Association IKJF was founded in 2013 in Switzerland with the aim to support the inter-cultural youth promotion between Switzerland and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its partner organisation in BiH is NARKON-NE from Sarajevo.

Every year IKJF organises the IKS – Inter-cultural summer weeks, where two groups of 10-14 students from Switzerland travel to BiH and in the small cities Vares and Novi Travnik organise leisure facilities for children and adolescents. They cooperate with a local group of 15-20 volunteers with the main focus on prevention of addiction and health promotion.

The students spend four weeks in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in addition to that, they have a previous lead time of three months in Switzerland for the fundraising and collecting ideas for their inter-cultural work with children and adolescents in BiH.

This year the Inter-cultural summer weeks will take place from 15th July until 16th August 2016. For further information please visit their website: www.ikjf.ch.
