Description
The "Start of Sarajevo" project is intended to assist in the restoration of social and cultural activities for children and young people in Sarajevo by channelling aid and support to key local groups. Sarajevo has a long and proud history as a centre of culture, and it is this tradition which, as much as the people of the city, has been threatened by the three-year siege.
Location
Bosnia-Herzogovina: Sarajevo
Objectives
- promote contact with local organizations in order to direct aid and support
- promote international recognition of Sarajevo as a cultural centre
- support and encourage local organizations and groups
Remarks
The Sarajevo team worked closely with the Bubamara Children's Football Club; the independent children's group Fenix Arts; Kuk Club (a unique centre for young people run by Sarajevo medical students as both a venue and social centre, and as a music therapy facility); and the Trust Foundation of Sarajevo Artists, plus a festival - "Tamna Strana Disneylanda" (The Darker Side of Disneyland) - held in November 1995.
