As the departure date is slowly creeping up on us, the last meetings at the Red Cross headquarters in Basel basically revolved around some more questions and served as a good reminder of what we actually want to achieve. According to Amela, one of the leaders of the Bosnian Red Cross delegation, the room in Bijeljina that was put at our dispoal is currently being used for various activites by the youth section and for first aid lectures. Thus when deciding on a specific concept we should keep in mind not to disrupt current activities and to rearrange the room in a way that would allow us to carry out parallel projects.
It is to be stressed that the idea behind the room was to provide a neutral and safe place for all kinds of groups, it should aim at integrating younger and older generations, as well as different minorities.
This raises a whole bunch of interesting questions, as we are encouraged to think about minority groups in our respective countries; who are they, where are they, and how do problems related to minority indentities manifest themselves?
These questions should be discussed within the Swiss and Bosnian working groups or perhaps in a more relaxed setting during leisure activities.
These were all ideas that were thrown around in the course of the last meetings and they are still subject to change, so it is important to stay flexible and open-minded.
