Workshop Leaders Needed for Youth Arts Festival in Kevljani, Near Prijedor, Northern Bosnia, 3rd – 13th May 2012
About Most Mira
Most Mira, (Bridge of Peace), is a British and Bosnian registered charity that runs an annual youth arts festival in the village of Kevljani for around 400 children. A team of dedicated workshop leaders and trainee volunteers from Europe and Bosnia make all this possible.
The aim of the festival is to create an independent social and cultural space where young people from a divided community can learn new arts skills and make new friends. The children who take part in the festival are aged 5-15 and are from a range of backgrounds including Bosnian, Serb, Croat and Roma, and some of them attend background specific schools.
Our aim is to facilitate participatory child-led arts workshops where the emphasis is on the creative process rather than the creation of a perfect final piece. The five days of festival workshops (7th – 11th May) will be followed by a day of taster workshops and performances on May 12th. Most importantly, the festival is about cultural exchange, teamwork, being creative and having fun! You can find out more about Most Mira’s aims, previous festivals and what it’s like to be a volunteer through looking at our website: www.mostmiraproject.org
Most Mira provides flights from the UK, a days training workshop and the 3rd – 6th May is assigned for festival volunteers to plan workshops. Volunteers who live outside the local area stay in accommodation near the festival site and eat at the community centre in Kevljani where the festival is held. All Most Mira volunteers need to sign and comply with our Child Protection Policy and Code of Conduct.
