THROUGH LIFE-LONG DIALOGUE
TO ETERNAL HARMONY
The project brought together students with different ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds and inspired them to work together on improving communications to overcome prejudices.
This project is a result of the first “HARMONY Project: Train the Trainer” program, implemented in B&H in 2021.
We believe that positive changes in society are only possible if we first make positive changes within ourselves. By delivering our “Train the trainer” program across the region, both the philosophy and implementation of our mission will spread to communities who need it most.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The vision of this project was to bring together students from different cities, who have different ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds and to work together on strengthening connection and improving communication without prejudices, to help overcoming cultural differences and divisions among BH citizens.
From 17th to 18th of September 2021, in Konjic, B&H, 34 local high school participated in the workshops, learning new techniques to improve connection with themselves (mindfulness practices), their environment, overcoming school-caused stress and having healthy dialogues with the focus on building harmonious and lasting relationships.
The implementation of this project was supported by the Rotary International (Global Grant) and NGO SANCHILD.

HOW IS THE LOCAL HARMONY PROJECT CREATED?
HARMONY Project is a platform for education of professionals, designed with the focus on individual well-being, interpersonal connections, and trust-building.
One HARMONY Project starts as the “Train the Trainer” program, where participants (trainees) undergo 7 training modules carefully designed by the international coaches, and results in the Local HARMONY Projects. Each project is designed by one trainee and addresses one issue or an important topic in their local communities, and is implemented by employing their unique skill set, SANCHILD’s values and the HARMONY Project mission to inspire positive changes. Finally, the projects may continue to be improved and implemented in the future, to create “long-lasting ripple effects that positively transform societies”.
