Center for Peacebuilding

Center for Peacebuilding (Centar za Izgradnju Mira, CIM) is a non-governmental organization based in Sanski Most, Una-Sana Canton, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

[1] Nationalistic discourse and hate speech are highly practised by political and religious leaders, and fuel hatred and acts of violence towards the "others".

[4] Since 2004, CIM has organized annual peace camps, where participants are offered the opportunity to engage in dialogue and openly discuss taboo topics related to the conflict.

The aim of this project is to form a network of young peacebuilders across Bosnia and Herzegovina, who will become leaders, and help build a less segregated society for the new generations.

[6] Every year CIM organizes non-violent communication (NVC) workshops taught in primary schools in the local area.

[7] CIM organizes regular interreligious dialogue meetings in Sanski Most between the leaders of Christian Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant and Muslim communities which are open to the public.

Annually, CIM receives two groups from the School for International Training, Vermont, United States who take part in a study visit in the local area.
