Initiative of Ministry was initially joined by two organizations from the Diaspora: i-platform from Switzerland and pangea network from Germany. Both organizations played an important role in the further development of this initiative: the i-platform in creating the idea for the monthly Diaspora Online Check-in, and the pangea network in creating the Digital Workspace for the Diaspora in Mural.
Diaspora Online Check-in presents regular monthly online meetings of the Ministry and representatives of organizations that have so far joined this initiative: i-platform (Switzerland), pangea network (Germany), SBHUD and BiH Academics (Denmark) and BH Roots (Austria) . Meetings are held every first Thursday of the month at 4pm via the Zoom app and led by the staff of the Ministry of Human Rights and Refugees of BiH.
The agenda is uniform, and includes:
The digital workspace for the diaspora was created in the Mural app and serves as a space to connect diaspora organizations on a virtual wall to share ideas and projects and find partner organizations to implement projects. Ideas and projects are divided into clusters: Commerce and Economics, Science and Education, Culture and Tradition etc. Digital workspace for the diaspora is the starting point for developing mutual cooperation and a place from where concrete ideas and projects for the benefit of Diaspora and Bosnia and Herzegovina will be realized.
We invite organizations in the diaspora that are interested in proactive work in building partnerships, exchanging ideas, developing and implementing common projects to join this initiative.
