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. We are also a member of a large regional peace network called REMI whose establishment is launched by Pax Christi.

Mission and Objectives

Our mission is '' breaking up ’’ everything that hinders the development of human relations among young people, their connections, mutual work and contact at any level.
Objectives and fields of activity are:

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.

Successful premiere of the play COMEDY ABOUT GROWING UP (burlesque)

from the premiere

Successful premiere of the play COMEDY ABOUT GROWING UP (burlesque)

Banja Luka, February 5 and 6, 2023

On the stage of the Dis Theater, another of the unusually tailor-made plays was created, which "at first sight" found its way to the hearts of the audience. It is about the author's burlesque reflection on the topic of male-female relationships. In a one-hour game (because what is shown borders on a playful, unrestrained game of curious people).

The play "Comedy about growing up" (Parental attention 15+), introduces us to two wonderful actresses who bare their lives in a one-hour performance.

The show is comical, playful and immensely entertaining and we are sure it will make you laugh, cry and feel life to its fullest.

Reserve your seats as soon as possible, because for this performance, tickets will be asked for more

excel in the play:

Anja Banjac and

Jelena Lena Marković

and the direction and adaptation of famous human and acting experiences is signed by: Novica Bogdanović

for those more curious…..

Burlesque is a type of comedy that engages in parody or exaggeration of reality for laughs. The goal of burlesque is to criticize social norms, politics or culture through a humorous approach. Like all burlesques, ours is distinctly and inexplicably caricatured and satirical in that it wants to tell you everything you were not allowed to ask about theater, emotions, love and the environment in which we live...

The "Wartime Love" - invitation

Sarajevo Meeting of Cultures

Sarajevo Meeting of Cultures

 

The "Wartime Love" project was conceived as a project that, through culture and various artistic expressions, shows wartime Sarajevo through the love and freedom of couples who immortalized their love during the war in the period from 1992 to 1995.

Image removed.

In Sarajevo, concerts, exhibitions, plays and films were spiritual food that diverted citizens' thoughts from everyday horrors and created a positive environment in which they met, socialized and fell in love.

Thousands of people in the period from 1992. to 1995. put their hands on their hearts and recited the love hymn "yes", daring to go into the unknown and face the coming storms together, expecting a rainbow after the rain.

And after so many years, we fondly remember those beautiful moments that changed our emotions during the war, when we found happiness in misfortune, shared fear and uncertainty, a litre of water, a cigar, a warm brick under the quilt, lentils, beans, macaroni, canned food, " lunch" packages and tabasco. We shared love.

Courageous marriages in Sarajevo were the inspiration for many texts, sung songs, written books, untold stories that we will experience again at your exhibition. This is an opportunity for your love and brave story to be told and turned into an exhibition, marked by the music of that era. We believe that each story is different and special, and will enrich the collection of stories that celebrate the power of love.

Your stories*, as well as scanned photos from the 1992 – 1995. Period.

You can send via email to the address:

info@smoc.ba

until February 15. 2023, in order to participate in the magnificent exhibition and event in May 2024! We are delighted to have the opportunity to hear your story!

We use this opportunity to thank the representative in the Sarajevo Canton Assembly, Prof. dr. Sanela Klarić for the initiative and the Ministry of Culture and Sports of Sarajevo Canton for their support. Association "Sarajevo meeting of cultures" is looking forward to the implementation of this project and is looking forward to your stories and photos.
