Project of the Month

Brcko Stolac Exchange Project

Brcko & Stolac, Bosnia

 

Aimed at alleviating educational segregation in Bosnia’s school system, the Brcko - Stolac exchange project is a response to the stark contrast between Bosnia’s most segregated school system, Stolac, and its most integrated, Brcko. The latter has become a unique model in Bosnia Herzegovina, as students from all three ethnic groups join together in the same classes, while the former is considered to be the country’s worst case of educational segregation.
