Action Projects - Bosnia & Herzegovina
Our community takes action to defend democratic values around the world. Explore our Action Projects here.
In the 11 months following the on-site Fellowship program, our Fellows work on their Action Project: an independent venture focused on promoting democratic values in their own communities. Action Projects are as diverse as Humanity in Action Fellows. Fellows apply their new knowledge and perspectives to the communities they impact—in whatever format they find meaningful. The Humanity in Action community is a great resource for getting support—be it with contacts, experience or good advice.

Cat’s Eyes
This project offers a solution to one of the arising issues on migrants’ route through the country: their low visibility on the road during the night when they are actively on the move. EDVACAY Alumna Lamija Čelik made hats, caps, scarves and pendants with the key component of adding cat's eyes (luminous plastic used for better perception and visibility in traffic) or reflective strips that glow in the dark. Lamija believes that the products bring benefits such as protecting their user from the cold, but also helping them be better spotted on the road.
