Specifični ciljevi:
Aktivnosti implementirane u sklopu projekta:
U radu radionice sudjelovalo je oko 40 mladih uzrasta od 15 do 19 godina iz Prijedora, Mostara, Nevesinja i Sanskog Mosta. Učili su o liderstvu i vještinama zagovaranja i lobiranja za svoje ideje i potrebe kroz intervencije u javnim prostorima svojih zajednica. Cilj je bilo spoznati važnost uključivanja u demokratske procese odlučivanja u lokalnim zajednicama. Trening se fokusirao i na izgradnju mira u odnosu prema identitetima s kojima se sudionici poistovjećuju , te razmatralo što identiteti znače u izgradnji mira.
Razgovaralo se o pomirenju, dijalogu i zajedničkom životu kroz razne inovativne načine implementacije uključujući razne radionice i organizirane posjete. Među ostalim, mladi su posjetili Crkvu sv. Petra i Pavala, manastir u Žitomisliću i blagajsku Tekiju.
U okviru programa radionice organizirana je paralelna radionica “Moj grad – grad mladih” – Urban Youth spot – Life Art Pavilion 2016. Ova radionica držana je 7. i 8. jula/srpnja 2016. godine u Muzičkoj školi u Mostaru.
Radionica “Moj grad – grad mladih” – Urban Youth spot – Life Art Pavilion 2016 koju je provodio Centar za arhitekturu, dijalog i umjetnost – ADA Mostar, imala je za cilj promovirati uključivanje, te poticanje mladih da na kreativan način, izraze svoj stav prema određenim problemima i preprekama sa kojima se susreću mladi grada Mostara. U okviru programa radionice razvijana je ideja o značaju kvalitetnog i tematski obrađenog uređenja javnih otvorenih prostora u gradu Mostaru, posebice onih važnih i srodnih mladima ovog grada.
U ovom participativnom procesu mladi su imali priliku istražiti raspoložive mogućnosti u prostornom i društvenom okruženju. Kao rezultat radionice izrađena je maketa „Mobile Hub“ u mjerilu 1:200, te će ista biti uključena u virutalnu mapu javnih prostora za mlade, koja je izrađena u okviru prethodne faze radionce “Moj grad – grad mladih”.
„Life art pavilion“je zamišljen kao pokretna Urbana točka dvojakog značenja, društvenog i arhitektonskog. Ovakav pristup uređenju javnog prostora daje novu vrijednost gradu u društveno- socijalnom smislu, dok je istovremeno „osvježenje“ u arhitektonskom smislu s obzirom da bi ovakav paviljon i onda kada se ne koristi imao snažan identitet kao komad urbanog mobilijara.
Maketa je prezentirana i dostavljena predstavnicima lokalnih vlasti, odnosno predstavnicima Gradske uprave Grada Mostara, kako bi prijedlog mladih grada Mostara imali u vidu pri formalnim i neformalnim procesima planiranja u lokalnoj zajednici. Šira javnost će imati priliku “prošetati” kroz “Moj grad – grad mladih” putem nadograđene virtualne mape, koja će biti postavljena on-line na Facebook i web stranicama Agencije lokalne demokracije Mostar i šire. Na ovaj način mladi uče kako izraziti svoj stav prema određenim problemima zajednice, a zajednica uči da sluša njihov glas..
Cilj ove aktivnosti je izravno i vidljivo djelovanje mladih u svojim lokalnim sredinama.
Ova aktivnost polučila je sljedeće rezultate:
Mostar – uređenje parka na mostarskom Bulevaru i postavljanje klupa
Nevesinje – osvjetljenje oko školskog dvorišta i čišćenje dvorišta Gimnazije u Nevesinju
Prijedor – napravljena teretana na otvorenom, koja će biti na raspolaganju svim generacijama grada Prijedora.
Sanski Most – mladi su uredili dio plaže na rijeci Sani i postavili klupe na kojima će biti ispisane poruke mira
U sklopu projekta Moj grad – grad mladih održane su i dvije konferencije za medije (u Sanskom Mostu i Nevesinju).
Konferencija za medije u Nevesinju održana je 12.12.2016. u prostorijama Srednjoškolskog centra Nevesinje

Agencija lokalne demokracije Mostar u saradnji s lokalnim koordinatorima/cama aktivno je radila na jačanju svijesti mladih iz lokalnih zajednica u cilju prevladavanja podijeljenosti i jačanja povjerenja među mladima iz Mostara, Nevesinja, Prijedora i Sanskog Mosta. Zajedničke radionice, druženja, posjeti kao i konkretne aktivnosti na revitalizaciji lokaliteta koja koriste mladi u ova četiri grada bitno su doprinijela uspostavljanju komunikacije i konkretne suradnje kako između lokalnih dužnosnika i predstavnika nevladinog sektora, tako i mladih iz ovih gradova.

My City – Youth City
Timespan: 20/06/2016 – 31/01/2017
Donor: USAID
The “My City – Youth City” project is supported by USAID's PRO-Future project, which is implemented by Catholic Relief Services in cooperation with Mozaik Foundation, Caritas Bosne i Hercegovine, Tuzla Citizens‘ Forum, Helsinki Parliament of Citizens Banja Luka and Interreligious Council of BiH.
Applicant: Agencija lokalne demokratije Mostar
Description: The project brings together organizations and participants from Mostar and Nevesinje, as well as Prijedor and Sanski Most. 40 young participants (15-19) fromthe mentioned communities were active members of the project during the implementation period of six months. Participants were encouraged by learning leadership and debating skills and worked with the local authorities in educational and creative activities. The focus was the importance of participating in democratic processes of elections in local communities in order to reach sustainable peace, tolerance and a better future.
Objective: strengthening the awareness of young people from local communities to overcome divisions and strengthen trust among young people from Mostar, Nevesinje, Prijedor and Sanski Most, strengthening knowledge and skills of young people for active participation in the local community through advocacy campaign, and local youth actions in participating communities.
Specific objectives:
Activities implemented within the project:
1. The initial (kick off) meeting of the project partners “My city – the city of youth” – was held on June 21, 2016. in Prijedor, where the dates of implementation of activities have been agreed in detail and operational plans for activities in each municipality / city have been elaborated in detail.
2. Workshop “My city – the city of youth” – 1.9.2016. – 4.9.2016. in Mostar
About 40 young people aged 15 to 19 from Prijedor, Mostar, Nevesinje and Sanski Most participated in the workshop. They learned about leadership and advocacy and lobbying skills for their ideas and needs through interventions in the public spaces of their communities. The aim was to recognize the importance of involvement in democratic decision-making processes in local communities. The training also focused on peace building in relation to the identities with which the participants identify, and considered what identities mean in peacebuilding.
Reconciliation, dialogue and coexistence through various innovative ways of implementation were discussed, including various workshops and organized visits. Among other things, the young people visited the Church of St. Peter and Paul, the monastery in Žitomislić and the Tekija in Blagaj.
As part of the workshop program, a parallel workshop “My city – Youth City” – Urban Youth spot – Life Art Pavilion 2016 was organized. This workshop was held on July 7 and 8, 2016 at the Music School in Mostar. The workshop “My city – city of youth” – Urban Youth spot – Life Art Pavilion 2016, conducted by the Center for Architecture, Dialogue and Art – ADA Mostar, aimed to promote inclusion and encourage young people to creatively express their attitude towards certain problems and obstacles that young people in the city of Mostar face. Within the workshop program, the idea of the importance of quality and thematically arranged arrangement of public open spaces in the city of Mostar, especially those important and related to the youth of this city, was developed.
In this participatory process, young people had the opportunity to explore the available opportunities in the spatial and social environment. As a result of the workshop, a model “Mobile Hub” in the scale of 1: 200 was made, and it will be included in the virtual map of public spaces for young people, which was made within the previous phase of the workshop “My city – the city of youth”.
“Life art pavilion” is conceived as a moving urban point of two meanings, social and architectural. This approach to the arrangement of public space gives a new value to the city in the social sense, while at the same time “refreshing” in the architectural sense, given that such a pavilion, even when not in use, would have a strong identity as a piece of urban furniture.
The model was presented and submitted to the representatives of local authorities, ie representatives of the City Administration of the City of Mostar, so that the proposal of the youth of the City of Mostar could be taken into account in formal and informal planning processes in the local community. The general public will have the opportunity to “walk” through “My city – youth city” through an upgraded virtual map, which will be posted online on Facebook and the website of the Local Democracy Agency Mostar and beyond. In this way, young people learn how to express their attitude towards certain problems of the community, and the community learns to listen to their voice.
3. Actions in local communities
The aim of this activity is the direct and visible action of young people in their local communities.
This activity produced the following results:
Mostar – lighting around the school yard and cleaning the yard of the Gymnasium in Mostar (the action was carried out instead of the planned gathering of young people in Nevesinje)
Prijedor – built outdoor gym, which will be available to all generations of the city of Prijedor.
Sanski Most – young people have arranged a part of the beach on the river Sana and set up benches on which messages of peace will be written
