	Sarajevo 2014 Youth Camp Activities Proposal an article by The Youth Working Group of the PeaceEventSarajevo2014 From June 6-9 2014 an international youth camp with youth activities will take place in Sarajevo within the framework of the Peace Event Sarajevo 2014. It will be a self- organized place for debate, information, action, and training on different topics related to non- violence and peace. The youth camp with its youth activities will allow young activists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe and around the world to share their experience, engage in common activities, and learn from each other. click on photo to enlarge Non-violence and peace are essential for the future of humankind. What better place is there to foster a culture of peace and non-violence with and for the youth than Sarajevo: a city that serves as a symbol for the last 100 years for having been the scene of the event that is often regarded as having triggered World War I, and for having been place of so much suffering during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina two decades ago. Nowadays Sarajevo is the capital of a war-torn multicultural society being rebuilt, in the heart of a region where men and women strive to overcome the scars of wars that accompanied the breakup of the former Yugoslav Federation. It is the youth’s challenge as well as their responsibility to shape a world full of peace, non-violence and justice instead of war and violence. The future belongs to the youth and we would like to give them and those young in mind the opportunity to make Sarajevo in June 2014 a meeting place for peace and non-violence. We would like to invite you to participate in the youth camp and the youth activities. The Youth working group has defined the outlines of the youth activities and all the organizations and groups who wish to participate will be invited to offer concrete proposals for intercultural exchange, training of non-violence, educational seminars, direct actions, and cultural, arts and sportive activities related to these topics. The next step is this call for activity proposals and the registration to the youth camp.
