BOLD (Balkan Youth Leaders) Civic Engagement Fellowship Program

Welcome to the BOLD (Balkanski omladinski lideri - Balkan Youth Leaders) Civic Engagement Fellowship Program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO).

untitled-design.jpegProgram Overview

The BOLD Civic Engagement Fellowship is an exchange program focused on developing a robust network of young leaders in the Balkans who can create innovative solutions to civic engagement issues in their communities, and develop bonds between the youth of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the U.S. Our program includes a pre-departure virtual orientation program, a four-week intensive academic residency at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, a three-day visit to Mount Rushmore and the Badlands National Park in South Dakota, and an educational weeklong tour of New York City and Washington, D.C.

BOLD is an effort to harness the extraordinary potential of the next generation of changemakers from the region by providing our Fellows with opportunities to:

  • Participate in daily workshops and experiential learning opportunities at the University of Nebraska at Omaha to develop leadership, communication, and collaboration skills.
  • Learn about the principles of democracy, community, promotion of ethnic and religious tolerance, and empowerment through engagement with community and government leaders.
  • Gain a better understanding of U.S. democracy and cultural differences by traveling to South Dakota, New York City, and Washington D.C.
  • Develop innovative Action Plans to improve their countries in the areas of human rights, tolerance, community, environmental conservation, voting rights, public health, and any other area that will help strengthen community, and democracy.

We look forward to meeting you!
