Welcoming note

 

 

 

 

Dear former and new participants of the International Summer School in Sarajevo and friends of the association “Pravnik”,

 

 

 

Asssociation “Pravnik“, as a BiH non- governmental organization, aims to promote Bosnia and Herzegovina in the best possible manner, as a multicultural, multi-religious and multinational country of natural beauties where many successful young people reside. Longing for changes in our society, but in countries of the region as well, in cooperation with our partner-Rule of Law Program South East Europe of the Konrad- Adenauer- Stiftung, we have initiated the International Summer School Sarajevo project that will be implemented in Sarajevo for the third time in summer 2009. The main idea of the project is to examine topics that are important for BiH and other participating countries.

 

 

Previous summer schools testify about great interest of students from BiH, South East Europe and European Union for the project and program of the ISSS. We can proudly say that, while selecting students, competition was rather serious since we received hundreds of applications.

 

 

However, the most important part of our work is a positive feedback we receive at the end of the summer school, from our participants and lecturers which gives us an additional impulse for continuing the project.

 

 

Dear future participants, I am looking forward to meeting you!

  

Sincerely,

 

Almin Škrijelj

President of “Pravnik"

EXPERIENCE WITH SIMILAR PROJECTS 

   

Association “Pravnik” and its staff have extensive experience in organizing similar events. During their studies, in capacity of the Sarajevo Law Students’ Association, members of the ISSS 2009 Organizing Committee worked on implementation of several projects for students, including managing internships, hosting foreign and domestic guest lecturers for law students at the Law Faculty of the University and Sarajevo along with organizing the first international summer school in Sarajevo named “Sarajevo International Summer Schools on Balkan Studies” in 2006.

   

On this occasion, they hosted 30 social science students from European Union and South East Europe to give them the opportunity to listen to the lectures of several prominent speakers.

   

The project was supported by the Law Faculty in Sarajevo, Cantonal Ministry of Education and Science, Commission for Youth within the Cantonal Assembly and Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung- Rule of Law Program South East Europe. After significant success of this pilot project, “Pravnik” continued with organizing another summer school in 2008.
