Central to our work is the belief that the practice of structured dialogue can replace the societal emphasis on combative debate. It is imperative that Bosnians of all ethnicities are able to talk in an environment without winners and losers, where common understanding is the ultimate goal. Dialogue can heal the deepest wounds and encourage true reconciliation with the past.
In March 2010 we began organizing meetings between Sanski Most’s various religious leaders. On March 20, 2010, for the first time in the city’s history, these leaders (representing the Islamic, Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant faiths) met public to present resources for peacebuiding in their respective religious traditions. This meeting set a positive public precedent for constructive inter-religious and inter-ethnic interaction in Sanski Most.
Additionally, we facilitate dialogue group of lay members from different religious traditions in Sanski Most.
Our budget is relatively small (one major grant - $10,000 annually - and other small individual donations). We rely heavily on volunteer hours and support from local institutions.
