Eligibility
Only Bosnian students and leaders are eligible to apply. Humanity in Action and the British Council are looking for active members of BiH NGOs, with a record of leadership potential and involvement in projects in the local communities they live in, particularly when it comes to the development of and respect for human rights, and youth education and development. In addition to their own participation, each NGO representative or member will be asked to select one person from his or her community, who has been involved in the NGO and has leadership potential as well. Candidates will be selected from the entire BiH territory, making sure to achieve a balance in terms of gender, religion, age, etc. The applications will be reviewed in pairs - i.e. one NGO representative with one person from the community.
