5 UVODNA RIJE^ Omladinski Komunikativni Centar je nastavio da implementira projekte i druge aktivnosti u {est programskih oblasti i ovaj godi{nji izvje{taj opisuje sve projekte, treninge, seminare itd. koje smo implementirali tokom 2001 godine. Procesi integracije u Jugoisto~noj Evropi i demokratske promjene u susjednim zemljama ali i teroristi~ki napadi i nove krize su uticale (neke direktno a neke indirektno) da uvidimo na{u ulogu kroz ja~u saradnju sa drugim NVO-a ~ime }emo doprinositi uspostavljanju gra anskog dru{tva i omogu}avanje samoodr`ivog mirovnog procesa prvo u na{oj zemlji, gdje mi mo`emo imati najve}i uticaj. Mi shvatamo da je uspostavljanje samoodr`ivog i trajnog mira u Bosni i Hercegovini dugotrajan proces. Mirovna edukacija (formalna i neformalna) mladih ljudi je neophodna jer im omogu}ava da nau~e o toleranciji, ljudskim pravima, demokratiji i vrijednostima gra anskog dru{tva. Ovi programi su osna`ivali mlade da preuzmu odgovorniju ulogu u procesima dono{enja odluka u njihovim zajednicama i {kolama kroz stvaranje savjeta u~enika, ~ime se doprinosi kreiranju politike mladih u na{oj zemlji, {to podr`avamo. INTRODUCTION LETTER Youth Communication Center continue do implement projects and other activities in six program areas and this annual report describes all projects, training, seminars etc. that we were implementing during year Integration processes in Southeast Europe and democratic changes in surrounding countries but as well terrorist attacks and new crisis have influenced our work (some directly and some indirectly) on way that we have recognized our role through stronger cooperation with other NGOs that we could perpetuate establishing of civil society and enable sustainable peace processes firstly in our country where we could have most influence. We are convinced that establishing of sustainable and durable peace is long-term process in Bosnia and Herzegovina and peace education of young people is necessary trough formal and non-formal education, which could enable them to learn about tolerance, human rights, democracy and values of civil society. These programs have empowered youth to take more responsible role in decision-making processes in their communities and schools through creating students councils, which was contribution to creating of youth policy in our country that we are supporting. Mi djelujemo kao trening i resource centar za aktivnosti izgradnje mira ~ime podr`avamo razvoj drugih NVO-a kroz transfer know-how i monitoring. Na{ radio Balkan mi koristimo za promociju na{ih i aktivnosti drugih NVO-a kao i za projekte demokratizacije koje implementiramo. Volonterski programi doprinose podsticanju razli~itih aktivnosti mladih koje razvijaju osje}aj za potrebe u zajednici i promovi{u me u mladima volonterizam, te organizaovanje ljetnjih kampova, debata i humanitarnih akcija kojima se poma`e marginalizovanim kategorijama djece u na{em dru{tvu. Unapre enje organizacione demokratske strukture, uloge upravnih, izvr{nih i savjetodavnih tijela mi smo ostvarili sa izborom novih ~lanova na osnovu zasluga i iskustva. Tako e nezavisni konsultant dr.paul Stubbs je izvr{io evaluaciju organizacione strukture i programa OKC-a. Razvoj na{ih projekata i programa u budu}nosti mi }emo ostvariti kroz pa`ljivo planiranje na bazi potreba na{ih korisnika i aktivnije saradnje sa drugim NVO-a u zemlji i regionu. Izvr{ni Paukovi} We were acting as training and resource center for peace building activities that have supported NGO's development through transfer of know-how and monitoring. Our radio "Balkan" we were using as vehicle for promotion of our and other NGOs activities and democratization projects that we were implementing. Voluntary programs contributes to initiate different youth community actions that were developing sense of community and raise awareness amongst mostly youth about voluntarism, summer camps, debates and humanitarian activities that could make benefit for marginalized categories of our society. Improvement of organizational democratic structure, role of decision-making, executive and counseling bodies we have achieved with nomination of new members on basis of merit and experience. In addition we asked independent consultant Paul Stubbs Ph.D. to make evaluation of programs and organizational structure. Development of our projects and programs in future we could achieve through carefully planning on basis of needs of our beneficiaries and more active cooperation with other NGO's in our country and region.

15 Projekt Parlament mladih u isto~nom dijelu Republike Srpske podr`an od strane Holandske ambasade po~eli smo realizovati u decembru 2001 u {est op{tina (Bijeljina, Zvornik, Vlasenica, Mili}i, Bratunac i Srebrenica). U ovom dijelu BiH OKC je podr`avao razvoj NVO-a kroz treninge nenasilne transformacije konflikta ~ime smo doprinosili lokalnoj inicijativi i mirovnom procesu. Za samoordr`ivost demokratskih i mirovnih procesa je nephodno podr`ati razvoj demokratije u {kolama i uklju~iti profesore koji mogu ovome doprineti u budu}nosti. (Predmet demokratija i ljudska prava je formalno uklju~en u nastavni plan i program od septembra 2001 u svim srednjim {kolama ali kroz teoriju a ne prakti~nu implementaciju gradiva). Mi smo odabrali 20 ljudi (iz lokalnih NVO-a i profesore demokratije i ljudskih prava iz srednjih {kola) koji su nakon dodatne edukacije/treninga (u januaru 2002) po~eli voditi radionice o demokratiji, ljudskim pravima i toleranciji sa 250 u~enika u svojim zajednicama. O ovom projektu }e biti vi{e u sljede}em izvje{taju. Osoblje OKC-a je u~estvovalo Internacionalna Ljetnja [kola Mira u Corrymeela Community (Belfast, Sjeverna Irska) od okupila je 80 predstavnika organizacija koje se bave mirovnim aktivnostima iz Sjeverne Irske, Balkana, Ju`ne Afrike i Bliskog istoka.

OKC predstavnica je bila na tre}em treningu Peace Trails u Americi od koje podr`ava Whalen Family fondacija a koja je po~la sa projektom Rje{avanje konflikta u dvije srednje {kole u Banjaluci. Project Youth Parliament in Eastern Republic of Srpska supported by the Netherlands Embassy we have started in December 2001 in six municipalities in Eastern Republic of Srpska (Bijeljina, Zvornik, Vlasenica, Milici, Bratunac and Srebrenica). In this area OKC were supporting NGO development and through conflict resolution training contributed to local initiative and peace building processes but for sustainability of long term democracy and peace was necessary to support democracy in schools and involved teachers that they could contribute to this for long term period. (Subject of democracy and human rights has formally started in September 2001 in all Secondary schools but teachers are focused on theory not on practical implementation of this issue). We were selecting 20 people (from local NGO a and teachers of democracy and human rights in Secondary schools) that will after training/education (January 2002) lead workshops for 250 students in their communities. About this project will be more in next report. Staff development International Summer School for Peace Building in Corrymeela Community (near Belfast, Northern Ireland) from May 31 June 9, 2001 joined 80 representatives from organisations that deal with peace building activities in Northern Ireland, Balkans, South Africa, and Middle East etc. Our representative has been in USA on Peace Conference with other 25 youth from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Yugoslavia and other our young member on three weeks seminar for young leaders from Southeast Europe in civil society also in USA.

16 2. Globalni i regionalni partnerski program Tokom posljednjih godina OKC je razvio saradnju sa nekoliko NVO-a iz Evrope i Balkana koju nastavljamo kroz realizaciju treninga, seminara i projekata. Naro~ito projekti koje smo zajedni~ki razvili kao programi razmjene volontera, ljetnji kampovi, aktivnosti izgradnje mira, promovisanje aktivnosti po{tovanja ljudskih prava koji podr`avaju kulturnu saradnju, pomirenje i promociju vrijednosti gra anskog dru{tva me u mladim ljudima sa Balkana i evropskih zemalja. Iskustva i znanje koje je OKC stekao tokom implementacije projekata u Bosni i Hercegovini naro~ito u oblasti izgradnje mira, pomirenja, pitanja manjina uklju~ivanja i saradnje sa lokalnim vlastima kao i promocija vrijednosti gra askog dru{tva (pitanje demokratizacije, medija itd.) mi dijelimo kroz saradnju sa ljudima iz tre}eg sektora na Balkanu. Partnerstvo i saradnja sa Wings of Hope fondacijom Sa njema~kom fondacijom Wings of Hope mi nastavljamo da implementiramo trogodi{nji (2000/03) projekt Youth leadership in Bosnia and Herzegovina podr`anog od strane Ministarstva inostranih poslova Njema~ke kroz Pakt Stabilnosti u Jugoisto~noj Evropi sa ciljem da se kroz seminare/radionice o demokratiji, nenasilnoj transformaciji konflikta, pomirenju iniciraju lokalne aktivnosti od strane 15 mladih lidera koji dolaze iz razli~itih NVO-a i gradova ~ime bi oni mogli da doprinesu kreiranju omladinske politike u Bosni i Hercegovini. Seminar Uloga mladih u aktivnostima u zajednici i saradnja sa lokalnim vlastima ( u Hvaru, Hrvatska). Prezentacijama 15 mladih ljudi koji dolaze iz 15 BiH op{tina se `elilo omogu}iti me usobno upoznavanje u~esnika sa problemima i situacijom u ovim sredinama. To je bilo neophodno da bi budu}i lideri imali uvid u situaciju koja }e im omogu}iti kreiranje budu}ih programa na osnovu njihovih i potreba zajednica iz kojih dolaze Global and Regional Partnership program During last years OKC have developed co-operation with couple NGO s from Europe and the Balkans that we continue to improve through realisation of training, seminars and projects. Especially projects where we together have developed exchange programs for volunteers, summer camps, peace building activities, promotion of human rights activities that support cultural understanding, reconciliation and promotion of civil society values amongst people with in Balkans and with Western European countries. Experience and knowledge that OKC gained through project implementation in Bosnia and Herzegovina especially in area of peace building activities, reconciliation, minority issues, participation and cooperation with authorities than promotion of civil society values (media issue, democratisation etc.) we are sharing with other people from third sector in the Balkans. Partnership and cooperation with German Foundation Wings of Hope With German Foundation Wings of Hope we continue to implement three years (2000/03) project Youth leadership in Bosnia and Herzegovina supported by German Ministry of Foreign Affairs through Stability Pact have aim through capacity building seminars/workshops about democracy, conflict resolution, reconciliation and initiating of grassroots youth activities for 15 youth leaders from different NGO s contribute to creating of youth policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

17 Seminar Uzroci konflikta u Bosni i Hercegovini i koraci ka pomirenju ( Ruhpolding, Njema~ka). Omladinsko liderstvo i kreiranje omladinske politike nije mogu}e bez znanja o uzrocima konflikta i {ta je Moja pri~a koja je trebala omogu}iti na{oj grupi pove}anje me usobnog razumijevanja koje treba da vodi ka pomirenju. Nacionalni stereotipi i predrasude u Bosni i Hercegovini su prepoznati kao jedni od glavnih prepreka sa kojima se ljudi suo~avaju i sa ~ime treba raditi. Uloga obrazovanja, mladi i politika su bili dio diskusija i razvoja konkretnih aktivnosti. Bosna i Hercegovina se kandidovala za organizaciju Zimskih Olimpijskih igara 2010 i uloga sporta koji okuplja ljude/mlade razli~itih nacionalnosti bi}e promovisana kroz aktivnosti koje }e ova grupa zapo~eti (organizovanje ljetnjeg kampa sa ciljem ure enja sportskih borili{ta kori{tenih na olimpijadi 1984 u Sarajevu kao i organizovanje posebnih doga aja ~ime }e se promovisati zajedni~ki programi mladih u Bosni i Hercegovini. Sa fondacijom Wings of Hope mi smo organizovali pripremni sastanak u Njema~koj za razvoj novog regionalnog projekta. U~esnici (20) su bili iz Srbije, Kosova, Crne Gore, Vojvodine i Bosne i Hercegovine. Razli~ite nacionalnosti u~esnika i uloge koji oni imaju u svojim zajednicama (ve}inom iz NVO sektora) kroz uvod/ekspertizu od strane njema~kog advokata eksperta za me unarodno pravo (fokus Evropske Unije i strategije za Kosovo i Crnu Goru) omogu}ili su uvid u realnosti i status nacionalnih manjina u Jugoslaviji. Veoma interesantna uloga/prezentacija pravoslavnog sve{tenika i hod`e o ulozi crkve i religije u procesu pomirenja. Na osnovu ovog sastanka OKC }e u~estvovati u kreiranju dvogodi{njeg projekta sa mladim u~esnicima iz Jugoslavije. Projekt }e imati cilj pomirenja i uloge manjina u ovim procesima kao i podr{ku omladinskih aktivnosti u zajednicama kao i uspostavljanju programa u podijeljenim oblastima u ju`noj Srbiji i sjevernom Kosovu. Prije rada na pitanjima pomirenja, lideri su morali pro}i rafting 17 Workshop Roots of conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina and steps to reconciliation (March 24-30,2001 Ruhpolding, Germany). Youth leadership and creating of youth policy isn t possible with Before dealing with reconcilitation issue, leaders have had to deal with rafting out knowledge about roots of conflicts and what is My story which have enabled to our group to increase level of mutual understanding that lead to reconciliation. National stereotypes and prejudices in Bosnia and Herzegovina were indicated as one of main obstacles that people have to face up and deal with it. Role of education, politicians and youth have been included in discussion and concrete activities was developed. Bosnia and Herzegovina has applied for organising of Winter Olympic Games in 2010 and role of sport that join people/youth of different nationalities will be promote through specific activities that this group could start (organising of summer camps with aim to clean/prepare sports facilities used in Olympic Games in 1984 in Sarajevo and special events that promote common efforts of youth from Bosnia and Herzegovina). With Wings of Hope Foundation we were organising prep meeting from February 26 March 4, 2001 in Germany for development of new regional project. Participants (20) were from Kosovo, Serbia, Vojvodina, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Different nationality backgrounds of participants and role that they have in their countries (NGO sector mostly) with introduction/expertise what two German layers for international law (focus on European Union strategy about Kosovo and Montenegro) enables overviews about realities and status of minorities in Yugoslavia. Very interesting was role/presentation of Orthodox and Moslem priests about role of church in process of reconciliation. On basis of this meeting evaluation OKC will participate in creating (during April/May 2001) of two years project with participation of youth from Yugoslavia (Serbia, Kosovo and Vojvodina) and Montenegro. Project will have aim reconciliation and role of minorities issue in this process with support of community based youth activities and programs that link divided areas (media program) especially in Southern Serbia and Northern Kosovo.

22 3. Volonterski programi Ovaj progam ima za cilj promovisnje volonterizma u zajednici i osna`ivanje mladih kroz razli~ite aktivnosti da bi imali aktivniju ulogu u dru{tvu. Kroz podr{ku aktivnostima kao {to su debatni klub, omladinski magazin, teatar, umjetni~ke radionice, ekolo{ke aktivnosti, ljetnji kampovi itd. mi edukujemo mlade lidere da bi mogli doprinijeti toleranciji me u mladima u BiH i {ire kreiranju omladinske politike i aktivnoj ulozi mladih u dru{tvu. Na{i volonteri pored razvoja/implementacije aktivnosti u zajednici sa razli~itim korisnicima tako e imaju {ansu da steknu nova znanja kroz saradnju sa drugim NVO-a u zemlji i regionu. To je uticalo na teku}i razvoj volonterskih programa OKC-a na Balkanu i Evropi. Realizovani projekti i druge aktivnosti Debatni klub OKC-a nastavlja da okuplja studente kroz sticanje i {irenje vje{tina parlamentarne debate sa drugim mladima (iz srednjih {kola i fakulteta) u Bosni Hercegovini i {ire. Tokom treninga i seminara oni edukuju studente koji u~estvuju i organizuju debatna takmi~enja u svojim zajednicama. Teme za debate su bile: prava studenata, omladinska politika, pitanja manjina, trgovina `enama i djecom itd. Razvoj svojih debatnih vje{tina na{i volonteri mogu tokom seminara i takmi~enja (Budimpe{ta, Beograd, Bukure}t itd.) unaprijediti i razmijeniti iskustva sa drugim mladima iz Balkanskih zemalja. Dva ~lana OKC-a su organizovali trening iz debate tokom ljetnjeg kampa u Puli (Hrvatska) od gdje su edukovali mlade o debati iz Makedonije, BiH, Hrvatske i Jugoslavije koje }e mo}i nastaviti {iriti u svojim organizacijama i zajednicama. Tako e dva ~lana debatnog kluba su edukovali u~enike (400) u projektu Parlament mladih Banja Luke tokom novembra 2001da bi oni mogli koristiti debatne vje{tine za organizovanje debate u njihovim {kolama. Predstavnici na{eg debatnog kluba su u~estvovali na takmi~enjima na Jabuci (avgust, Voluntary programs In this program area our goal is to promote voluntarism in community and to empower youth through different activities to play more active role in the society. Through support of activities as debate club, youth magazine, theatre performances, art workshops, ecology community based activities, summer camps etc we are educated youth leaders that they could openly deal with tolerance amongst youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina and wider and perpetuate youth issue/policy and role of them as opinion makers in society. Our volunteers beside development/implementation of grassroots activities with different beneficiaries also have chance through our staff development to improve skills and co-operate with other s NGO in country and region. This was resulted with ongoing development of voluntary programs with in Balkans and Europe. Realised projects and activities Debate Club of OKC continue to join students through gaining and multiplying of parliamentary debate skills with other youth (High Schools and Faculties) in Bosnia and Herzegovina and wider. During training and seminars they have educated students that they could participate and organize debate competitions in their communities. They covered topics student rights, youth policy, minority rights, trafficking of women and children etc. Development of debate skills our volunteers improve during different seminars or competitions (Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest etc) where they have had chance to share experience with others from Balkans countries. Couple OKC leaders have organised debate training during summer camp in Pula (Croatia) July 17-27, 2001 where they teach other youth from Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Yugoslavia these skills that they could continue in their organisations or com-

U {kolama edukovani u~enici o ekolo{kim aktivnostima u zajednici i ulozi volonterizma, medijska kampanja i foto izlo`be o zaga enju rijeka realizovane su tokom aprila i maja Saradnja sa drugim NVO-a (sa Mladim istra`iva~ima tokom poster kampanja za Dan planete Zemlje ) omogu}ila je ljudima bolje upozavanje sa pitanjima ekologije kao i ve}e u~e{}e mladih u volonterskim programima (npr. ljetnjih kampova u zemlji i inostranstvu) u zajednici ili regionu (Balkan Bus tour projekat sa nekoliko NGO-a u okviru FRESTA programa). Projekt Kroz ekologiju ka pomirenju u zajednici je podr`an od strane Mennonite Central Committee i sastojao se od aktivnosti snimanja zaga enja rijeka u zapadnom dijelu BiH, radionica o volonterizmu i ekologiji u Banjaluci, Sanskom Mostu i Biha}u (voditelji su bili volonteri iz Zelene Akcije-Zagreb), ART ECO kampa od na Zalenkovcu (12 mladih iz razli~itih gradova su imali radionice o ekologiji, slikarstvu i vajarstvu) i nekoliko aktivnosti u zajednici i izlo`bi (foto, skulptura i video prezentacija) u razli~itim gradovima u Bosni i Hercegovini.

In addition, Two debate leaders have educated students in project Banja Luka Youth Parliament during November 2001 that they could have used this skills for organising debate in their schools. Representatives of our debate club have been participated competitions in island Jabuka (Croatia, August), Guca (Yugoslavia, August) and Temisoar (Romania). Ecology and community based environmental protection activities have couple goals.

26 4. Program razvoja medija U zemlji gdje je nedostatak informacija me u ljudima stvarao nepovjerenje i doprinosio predrasudama prema drugim nacionalnostima, raditi sa medijima je bio u pro{losti izazov za nas. OKC je u jedinstvenoj poziciji u zemlji da kroz inicijative i davanje odgovornosti mladim edukovanim ljudima za kreiranje programa doprinosi promovisanju demokratije i vrijednosti gra anskog dru{va i promovisanju uloge tre}eg sektora. Radio Balkan Omladinski Komunikativni Centar Banja Luka je jo{ uvijek jedina NVO u BiH koja ima radio stanicu koja emituje od juna 1997 i radi 24 sata dnevno na MHz. Mi nastavljamo da koristimo ovaj medij za edukaciju mladih i promociju aktivne uloge tre}eg sektora u procesima demokratizacije koji doprinose promociji vrijednostima gra anskog dru{tva. Realizovane projektne aktivnosti Kao dio projekata Osna`iti mlade i njihove porodice kroz mirovnu edukaciju i ekonomsku integraciju i Mladi za demokratiju-demokratija za mlade radio Balkan je napravio i emitovao emisije koje su promovisale pitanja dje~ijih i manjinskih prava. Promocijom aktivnosti NVO sektora (iz oblasti demokratije, pitanja mladih, ekologije, prava studenata itd.) omogu}avali smo osna`ivanje uloge NVO-a i informisanosti zajednice o njihovim aktivnostima. Razvili smo jako dobru saradnju sa Helsin{kim parlamentom gra ana, Zaposleni na Radio Balkanu i slavljeni~ki kola~ sa proslave ~etvte godi{njice 26 Radio Balkan employees and 4 th Anniversary cake on June Media Development program In country where lack of information amongst people have created atmosphere of mistrusting and empower rising of prejudices about other nationality, to deal with media issue was challenge. By giving responsibility to educated youth to create programs that promote democracy and civil society values through active third sector supported by voluntary initiative put OKC in unique position in country. Radio Balkan Youth Communication Center Banja Luka is still only one NGO in Bosnia and Herzegovina to run radio station that has been broadcasting since June 1997 and operating 24-hours a day on 105,8 MHz. We continue to use this media for promotion of active role of third sector in democratisation processes that contribute to promotion of civil society values.

Mi smo kroz u~e{}e u grupi za demokratizaciju i obrazovanje OHR-a u Banjaluci sa drugim predstavnicima me unarodnih i lokalnih organizacija kroz razmjenu iskustava i predloge doprinosili boljoj saradnji u ovoj oblasti. Tako e mi smo jako zaintersovani za kreiranje omladinske politike u BiH koja uklju~uje jednake mogu}nosti edukacije za sve u~enike bez obzira na kategoriju, uspostavljanje savjeta u~enika u {kolama i uklju~ivanje mladih u parlamentarni `ivot i procese dono{enja odluka u dru{tvu. Edukacija volontera OKC ima moto Osna`iti mlade da dostignu svoje potencijale. Sastavni dio na{e misije je promocija volonterizma u zajednici kroz edukaciju, volonterske aktivnosti i programi razmjene volontera. Mi smatramo edukaciju volontera kao investiciju za budu}nost. Organizovali smo tokom pro{le godine razli~ite treninge/edukacije: Treninge iz debate (za 60 studenata Banjalu~kog Univerziteta i 400 u~enika srednjih {kola u projektu Parlament mladih Banja Luke ), Teatar i umjetni~ke radionice za nove volontere (40) u na{oj organizaciji.

31 Organizacione vrijednosti i principi Mi smatramo da je bitno da se na{e aktivnosti i programi sprovode u skladu sa definisanim principima koji su izra`eni u strate{kim odlukama ali i u dnevnim aktivnostima. Pored na{e misije ove vrijednosti omogu}avaju nam dostizanje organizacione i dru{tvene vizije. Tolerancija i otvorenost. Mi smo otvoreni za razli~ite nacionalnosti kao korisnike programa ili ~lanove i sa promocijom tolerancije mi doprinosimo po{tivanju manjina, ljudskih prava i kulturnog razumijevanja me u ljudima. Mir i pomirenje. Kroz mirovnu edukaciju me u ljudim u biv{im konfliktnim podru~jima mi doprinosimo samoodr`ivom razvoju ovih vrijednosti. Kreativnost. Individualnost i timski rad su osnove za uspje{no ispunjavanje misije. Kroz osna`ivanje kreativnosti i slobode izra`avanja mladih mi im omogu}avamo da dostignu svoje potencijale i ostvare svoje ideje i talente. Kredibilitet i odgovornost. Kroz profesionalizam u implementaciji projekata mi slu`imo korisnicima i ostvarujemo povjerenje me u njima, u tre}em sektoru i kod donatora sa obezbje ivanjem izvje{taja o na{im aktivnostima. Finacijska i organizaciona nezavisnost je veoma va`na za ispunjavanje na{e misije na duge staze. Mi uspijevamo odr`ati nezavisnost organizacije i nas koji pru`amo usluge. Mi osna`ujemo na{e osoblje i volontere da djeluju nezavisno u oblastima nji hovog djelovanja. ORGANISATIONAL VALUES AND PRINCIPLES 31 We hold it of primary importance to conduct our activities and programs according to some defined principles that express themselves in our strategic decisions as well as our daily tasks. Beside our mission these values enable us to reach organizational and societal visions. Tolerance and openness. We are open to different nationalities that could became member of our organization and beneficiaries in our programs and with promotion of tolerance we are contributing to citizenship of minorities, respecting of human rights and cultural understanding amongst people.

We encourage our staff and volunteers to act autonomously in the areas of their responsibility.

32 32 Osnovni organizacioni, programski menad`ment i razvoj ljudskih resusrsa Strate{ki menad`ment OKC djeluje u skladu sa strate{kim planom 2001/03 ali on se kao i ciljevi i programi evaluiraju se i dopunjuju. Godi{nji operativni plan na osnovu strate{kog plana i godi{nji bud`et obezbje uju okvir za teku}e aktivnosti. Demokratsko organizaciono djelovanje Struktura i nivoi odlu~ivanja su jasni u organizaciji i organizacione funkcije (upravljanje, menad`ment i profesionalno funkcionisanje) su razdvojene. Proces dono{enja odluka je demokratski (tokom sastanaka Skup{tine OKC-a) i omogu}ava se da kroz Savjet Mladih OKC-a volonteri ili osoblje tokom sastanaka odgovorno u~estvoju u procesu dono{enja odluka. Razvoj programa i usavr{avanje osoblja Za dostizanje profesionalnih standarda na{ih usluga mi trebamo stalno usavr{avanje i razvoj. Mi obra}amo pa`nju da obezbjedimo na{im volonterima i osoblju {ansu da u~estvuju u razli~itim trening programima da bi usavr{ili ili stekli nova znanja koji bi mogli iskoristiti za li~ni ili razvoj programa. Ovo omogu}ava inovativne pristupe na osnovu potreba i poma`e boljem uvezivanju OKC-ovih programskih oblasti. Transparentnost trening programa Premda smo mi u~ili od eksperata u oblasti nenasilne transformacije konflikta mi podr`avamo pravo da se unaprijede metodologije ili sadr`aj trening programa na osnovu potreba korisnika I posijelimo ste~ena znanja sa drugim organizacijama. Jednake mogu}nosti U~estvovati u na{im programima mogu ljudi bez obzira na religijsku, nacionalnu, polnu ili starosnu pripadnost. Na{i volonteri ili osoblje su izabrani na osnovu znanja, sposobnosti za poziciju i du`nost koju obavljaju i njihove posve}enosti ispunjavanju misije i ciljeva organizacije. GENERAL ORGANIZATIONAL, PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT Strategic Management OKC operates on the basis of our strategic plan. We have three-year strategic period (2001/03) but strategic plan and our goals are continuously evaluated and revised. Both the annual operational plan, which is based on the strategic plan, and the annual budget provides the framework for our daily activities. Democratic organizational operation The structure and the decision-making levels are made clear in the organization and the organizational functions (governance, management and professional functions) are separated. The decision making process is democratic (during OKC Assembly sessions) which enabling that through OKC Council of Youth and individual volunteers or staff responsibility everyone could contribute to process of making decisions. Staff and Program Development To reach professional standard of our services we need constant development and learning. We are paying attention to provide our volunteers and staff chance to participate in different training program and to improve or gain new skills that they could use for personnel or program development. This enabling innovative approach on basis of needs and it helps to enhance bridging of OKC program area activities. Transparency of training program Therefore we were learning from experts in area of conflict resolution we maintain the right to improve methodology or content on basis of beneficiary needs and to share this training program with other similar organizations. Equal opportunities To participate in our programs could people no matter of religion, nationality sex or age. In addition, our volunteers or staffs were selected only on basis of their skills, knowledge to fulfill the position and their commitment shown towards the values and mission of our organization.

33 Finansijski menad`ment i namicanje sredstava Transparentnost i odgovornost Ovo su dva vode}a principa u oblasti finasija. U skladu sa ovim, mi radimo na osnovu transparentnog godi{njeg bud`eta. Na sastancima Skup{tine organizacije mi predla`emo finacijski plan za sljede}u godinu i ocjenjujemo kako je ispunjen predhodni. Financijski izvje{taji projekata dostavljeni donatorima omogu}avaju transparentnost, ra~unovodstvo i revizija kao i godi{nji izvje{taji doprinose trasparentnosti i odgovornosti organizacije i pojedinaca. Razli~itost osnove namicanja sredstava Mi te`imo razli~itosti na{ih izvora prihoda koliko je mogu}e kako u odnosu na tipove i brojnost izvora da bi smanjili zavisnost od donacija i malog broja donatora. Razvoj income generation programa doprinose jo{ ve}oj nezavisnosti. Namicanje sredstava u skladu sa misijom Mi apliciramo za projekte koji su u skladu sa na{om misijom i strategijom kao i na{im kapacitetima za implementiranje projekata. Mi neprihvatamo sredstva od donatora ili individualaca koja bi mogla da ugroze na{u profesionalnu, politi~ku ili organizacionu nezavisnost. Svijet stoji po strani da propusti one koji znaju gdje idu -David Starr Jordan FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND FUNDRAISING Transparency and accountability These are the two ruling principles in the field of finance. In accordance with these, we operate based on a transparent yearly budget. On organizational Assembly meeting we propose financial plan for next year and consider how we fulfill previously. Financial reports concerning projects provided to donors enable transparency; also bookkeeping and independent audit ensure accountability. Diversified Funding base We strive to diversify our income sources as much as possible both in terms of types and numbers of funding sources in order to decrease dependency on grants and small number of donors. On-going development of income generation programs enable us to be more independent. Mission driven fundraising We only apply for projects that are consistent with our mission and strategy and only if we have the capacity to implement the projects.
