In a time of cultural revolution of electronic media, fake news, YouTubers and influencers, youth activism is extremely important for children, youth and society as a whole. Referring to the importance of it, members of the Coalition Society without Prejudice, from 5 local communities from the Majevica region (#Teočak, #Sapna, #Ugljevik, #Lopare, #Čelić) are taking on the role in the necessary changes and with their activism encourage young people to contribute to the creation of a positive environment. We share with you a part of the inspirational atmosphere from the creative art workshops "Colors of Friendship" held on the shores of Lake Sniježnica, as part of the local initiative "Together for a Better Tomorrow" implemented by the Youth Council of the Municipality of Teočak in cooperation with the informal group "Green Action".

Inspiration, motivation and energy, so we could describe the activities of decorating the mural they have worked on together in the past period. Art should make us think and critically observe the world around us in order to point out the necessity of change through artistic expression, is one of the conclusions after completed workshops. Using a personal example, young people from Majevica encourage their peers to use activist efforts to achieve common goals in various fields such as music, culture and art. Along with a conversation, a review of the activities done, summarizing the impressions, voluntary actions as part of the supported local initiative were completed.

Local initiatives supported by the project "Connect our Majevica" are aimed at strengthening trust and cohesion in the communities in Majevica. Our activities are supported through the project "Strengthening trust and cohesion in the communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina" financed by the Foreign Policy Instruments Service (#FPI) of the European Union within the Instrument for Neighborhood, Development and International Cooperation (#NDICI), and jointly implemented by Evropska unija u Bosni i Hercegovini , OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina , and Vijeće Evrope - Ured u Sarajevu.
