General Information
We are youth organization called ,,Sixth Sense’’. We were established in 22nd November in 2005. Our main goal is connecting young people regardless of their religion or nation, or to connect young people from both BiH entities. Our vision is: Formation of new young generations in BiH which will be linked to national and religious grounds ( of course referring to the different ethnicities and religions) and other bases and these young generations will have a high degree of tolerance towards other people as well as understanding and acceptance of something diffrent. Structure of our organization are: The Assembly of the association, working body ( the Presidency ), the Supervisory Board and the Court of Honor. The Presidency or the working body is the executive of the organization comprised of: Chairman, Deputy Chairman and five members. We do not have full time employees. Now, we do not have any money in the budget. We do not have a permanent donor so that we can never plan our annual budget. The money in the budget we have only when we implement some project. For now, we act through concrete project through which we connect young people regardless of their religion or nation of both BiH Entities and Germany and through this project comes to the implementation of intercultural dialogue among young people. Also, we implement the projects through which young people are educated and contributing to the prosperity and advancement of youth and helping young people of any kind.Our members participate in various seminars and exchanges. Our main partner with which we are implementing our main project these days is Germany non - governmental organization called Pax Christi from Aachen which is placed in Derventa, Bosnia and Herzegovina. We have been implementing project called ,, Bridge’’ with this organization for three years. Also, we are one of the co- organizers of major events Peace Day which is celebrated on September 21 and the marking of this event also launched by Pax Christi.

Main Projects / Activities

Our main project is the project called ,, Bridge'' which we have been implementing for three years with germany peace NGO called Pax Christi
The main goal of this project is to connect young people of diffrent religions and nations from both BiH entities as well as estabishing a dialogue with the purpose to foster mutual understanding and tolerance and to thereby contribute to strengthening peaceful coexistence in Bosnia – Hezegovina and the strengthening of intercultural dialogue.
The reason why we launched this project is that because Bosnia – Herzegovina is in an unenviable situation.
Just 15 years ago, we went from hard and bloody war and the consequences of that war people are still being felt.
Even after 15 years has not stopped religious and ethnic hatred between the three constituent peoples and there are even more and more and other types of intolerance - social, racial, gender, economic, etc.
Instead of that country going forward, every day sinks deeper and deeper.
What is the worst, in all of this is that from day to day, we have formed a new young generation of all three sides who hate others because they are a different religious or national affiliation and these new generations have a very low level of tolerance towards other people and do not understand and do not accept something that is different from them.
All this leads to the collapse of the state and every day we have expressed increasing discrimination at every turn and violation of human rights.
A big problem in this country is also a so-called period of transition which many politicians use to further deepen the gap between citizens.
A good example of how all this can be overcome and make this country an example to others, is Germany.
Germany, after World War II was in the same situation as Bosnia - Herzegovina, but has managed to all kinds of intolerance and discrimination left behind and become what it is today - one of the leading countries in the world that has opened its doors to many other nations and allow them to go to school and live in peace and have a better life.
For this to succeed, the Germans had to educate a new generation of Germans who will be full of tolerance and understanding and to be able to accept something that is totally different from themselves. That's what young people in BiH should learn and that is why we decided to include the youth in Germany, which together with young people from both BiH entities are participating in this project. The project consists of the implementation of workshops with the theme: peace, tolerance, coexistence, non-violent communication, etc.
We created the web page just for the participants of this project and on this web site young set out its tasks, participating in various forums and discussions whose topics related to themes of peace and coexistence, and also may contact via chat.
Our second activity is Regional Peace Initiative, a network of 15 NGOs that are linked to implementation of peace initiatives in the region.
Pax Christi has launched this initiative and all the others 14 organizations are full members who make decisions about everything - creating goals, vision, mission and implementation thereof.
The third activity is that Sixth Sense is one of the members of the Coordinating Committee and participated in organizing this great event, International Day of Peace, 21.09. who three years ago began to celebrate in Derventa the first time in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Each year, some NGOs in our country and neighboring countries come to this event and set up their stands through which they present their organization.
Every year, we organize a roundtable on the topic of man and freedom to which take part the representatives of these organizations that deal with issues of peace, coexistence and inter-religious and intercultural dialogue.
Program on the stage every year is a diversified, creative and interesting.
Also there is the race of peace which lasts 21 minutes due to the symbolic date of 21st September and in this race are involving children from primary and secondary schools from our region and they are wearing shirts with messages of peace.
We are very proud because of our Sixth sense organization is a part of this great event and because we are a member of the Coordinating Committee.
We are working also on the implementation of many activities with the organizations and networks I mentioned earlier.
There are also visits to various seminars, trainings, workshops, camps, etc.
