Students of Max van der Stoel Award from Jajce invest in their schools

On 3 June 2020, high school students from the Municipality of Jajce, represented by the Student Council of the Secondary Vocational School Jajce, handed over IT equipment for the Secondary Vocational School and “Nikola Sop” Secondary School, with the support of the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).

These students, the 2018 Max van der Stoel Award winners, decided to invest the award in improving the education process at the Secondary Vocational School and the “Nikola Sop” Secondary School.

After discussions on what could help students in their everyday life in school and improve learning process, they decided to purchase IT equipment, interactive boards, smart benches, and window blinds. They also decided to organize summer camp for students.

Mladen Marijanac, Acting Head of the OSCE Field Office Travnik, praised the efforts of the high school students for deciding to spend the award on a common good.  “Today, we are here to handover IT equipment as it was a priority because of the exit exams. Other goods will be delivered as soon as they arrive,” said Marijanac.

“Citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina should be proud of these students, because of their continued engagement in local community. They are examples of how individuals can contribute to creating a better future for all,” concluded Marijanac.
