International Day of Democracy 2024
Svitac (Firefly in Bosnia) has marked with 16+ participants the International Day of Democracy!
In the first part of the workshop, there was a presentation about democracy and its important role in human society.
The group of young people has also talked about democracy in general and what it means to them. Some of the topics such as voting, empowerment, equality, fulfilment of rights, etc. were discussed. As the elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina are approaching, the focus was also on voting and the engagement of young people to go to the elections and possibly influence the change in the current political scene.
Svitac (Firefly in Bosnia) strongly believes in and supports democratic values, such as respect for individuals and their right to make their own choices.
To this day (15th of September), International Democracy Day is being held under the UN Convention.
