Positive Play, formally established in May 2007, is a
Bosnian-registered and Bosnian-based non-governmental youth organisation
specialising in education of young people in positive modes of behaviour and
attitudes. Through a combination of
social, cultural and sporting activities Positive Play engages with young
people throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, disseminating educational materials
aimed at promoting and protecting them.
Moreover, Positive Play has a significant track record of partnering
with other organisations whose purpose is also to enhance the lives and develop
opportunities for young people throughout BiH. Positive Play is the only Bosnian NGO working with young people
in their communities throughout the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 12 months
a year. To date, our programming has
successfully targeted in advance of 35,000 direct beneficiaries and over
260,000 indirect beneficiaries. Our programming has been supported by the US State Department,
the Bosnian Federal Ministry of Culture and Sport, the Royal Netherlands
Embassy and the Canadian Embassy. The major part of our previous project experiences have been
related to risk education, promoting positive behaviour and awareness of the
risks of landmines, small arms and light weapons and drug abuse. However, all of Positive Play's activities are strongly
underpinned with direct promotion of tolerant attitudes aimed at inter-ethnic
and inter-gender understanding and development.
As such Positive Play collaborates at youth festivals across the
country, on the pre-condition that such festivals promote tolerance and
anti-discrimination. This has enabled
Positive Play to jointly organise and participate in youth festivals across BiH
in locations such as Drvar, Prijedor and Tešanj, educating hundreds of young
people a year through such collaboration. Positive Play will continue to provide risk education to young
people throughout BiH but intends in the future to develop stronger
partnerships with the cultural community to enable young people to take an
increasingly active role in the cultural and social life of BiH. This will include cooperating in joint
educational projects with designers, musicians, photographers and all other
artists whose work has the power to positively influence the attitudes and
behaviour of young people in BiH. | Pozitivna igra je nevladina organizacija koja se, tokom cijele
godine, bavi edukacijom mladih ljudi širom BiH. Namjera nam je da se
kombinacijom društvenih, kulturnih i sportskih aktivnosti kod mladih ljudi
potiču pozitivni stavovi i ponašanja, dok se dijeljenjem edukativnog materijala
ima za cilj promocija mladih i njihova zaštita. Organizacija je osnovana u maju 2007. godine, dobar je partner
sa ostalim organizacijama koje imaju za cilj unaprijeđenje života i kreiranje
povoljnih prilika za mlade širom BiH i do danas naš je program uspiješno
obuhvatio 35 000 direktnih i preko 260 000 indirektnih korisnika. Također naš
program podržavan je od strane Američke Vlade, Federalnog Ministarstva kulture
i sporta, Nizozemske Ambasade i Kanadske Ambasade. Glavni dio naših prijašnjih projekata se odnosio na edukaciju,
promoviranje pozitivnog ponašanja i svjesnost rizika od mina, lakog naoružanja
i droga. Sve aktivnosti Pozitivne igre usko su povezane sa promocijom
tolerantnog ponašanja opredjeljenog međuetničkim i međuspolnim razumijevanjem i
razvojem. Kao takva naša organizacija
prisutna je na festivalima za mlade širom zemlje, uz preduvjet da oni (
festivali ) promoviraju toleranciju i anti-diskriminaciju. Ovakav program omogućava nam da s partnerima
i organizujemo festivale za mlade širom BiH, a gradovi kao što su Drvar,
Prijedor i Tešanj itd. samo su neki od gradova u kojima educiramo stotine ljudi
godišnje, kroz naše suradnje. I u budućnosti mi ćemo nastaviti edukaciju o rizicima s kojima
se susreću mladi ljudi širom BiH, ali uz jače partnerstvo sa kulturnom
zajednicom; kako bi omogućili mladima da povećaju aktivnu ulogu u kulturnom i
socijalnom životu BiH. Ovo
podrazumijeva: kooperacije u zajedničkim edukativnim projektima sa dizajnerima,
muzičarima, fotografima i svim drugim umjetnicima čiji rad ima snagu da
pozitivno utiče na ponašanje i stanovišta mladih ljudi. |
