OSCE Mission to BiH supports Cultural Festival in Busovača

SARAJEVO, 16 August 2022 - The OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is proud to support the Cultural Festival, organized by the Amfiteatar Busovača, in Busovača and Kaćuni from 16 to 21 August 2022.

The festival will gather young people from Busovača, representatives of relevant civil society organizations, and members of the public from across BiH.

"The Festival of Culture offers an opportunity to youth to express their concerns, underline their needs and tell us more about their dreams through art. Young people have the right to be heard, their opinions are valuable and must be taken into account. By empowering youth, we empower a better future for all citizens in BiH," said Igor Nedera, Head of the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina Travnik Field Office.

During the five days of the festival, guests will be able to enjoy the theatre plays for children and youth, prepared by students of primary and secondary schools in Busovača. Also, three murals, sending a message of hope for a better future and societal togetherness will be unveiled in Busovača and Kaćuni.

"Recognizing young people as key partners for positive change and promoters of peace and reconciliation, we are glad to be part of this positive story and we invite citizens to join us at the Festival of Culture," concluded Nedera.
