Read MoreWhat a great experience! On Monday I had an opportunity to represent BH Futures Foundation at networking event in Cologne, together with our ambassador Adela Kadiric. As this was my first event of this kind, I was very excited, but also nervous at the same time. However, what I didn't know was that the Foundation had prepared me for this much better than I thought.
Read MoreEvery day of moving around Vienna was kind of a puzzle for us, something like a team-building exercise, where everyone instinctively took some role. Some of us have never been to a metropolis of this magnitude before, never traveled by subway, never drove in such complex traffic and never experienced many other things. We managed to cope with the complicated traffic with the help of navigation on two smartphones. We managed to reach our destinations and that was exciting every single time. We are convinced that, in addition to all of the educational content that was organised for us, in these moments we learned a lot as well.

We are proud of our scholars. This time we have conducted an interview with one of such scholars, Momčilo Amović, who has really achieved amazing and outstanding performance during his mentorship activities.

Read MoreHave you ever imagined that the knowledge, skills and experience of our scholars would reach another dimension by creating a project that will appear in the music video? Yeah, you have read it well. It is time to meet Robby Megabyte, a humanoid robot that sings and moves independently and that appeared in the latest musical album “FakeNews” launched by Dubioza Kolektiv. This is what our scholars, Edin Omerović, Mugdim Đuliman, and Aldina Bundavica along with their colleagues from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering Sarajevo, have been working on for a couple of months.
Read MoreThis answers the question how we actually came to this point where we are one of the fastest growing Foundations and brands in Bosnia & Herzegovina with only one half-time paid staff member. It is a result of large group of leaders that work around the clock to deliver. All of them work full time or study full time and they are still able to do so. Think twice, how you spend your time.
