Dodijeljena Mirovna nagrada "Goran Bubalo" za 2024. godinu
Mreža za izgradnju mira je i ove godine dodijelila nagradu za doprinos miru, jednakosti i pravdi. Mirovna nagrada "Goran Bubalo" uspostavljena je 2013. godine, a ime “Goran Bubalo” nosi od 2020. godine, u znak sjećanja na pokojnog osnivača i predsjednika Mreže za izgradnju mira.
Ovogodišnji dobitnici nagrade su fra Mirko Majdandžić, za istinsko zalaganje i posvećenost miru, pravdi i jednakosti u Bosni i Hercegovini, Jasmin Alibegović, za istinsko zalaganje i posvećenost miru, pravdi i jednakosti u Bosni i Hercegovini i Koledž ujedinjenog svijeta u Mostaru, za rad na multietničkom razumijevanju među mladima i za promociju mirovnog obrazovanja unutar Bosne i Hercegovine, regiona i svijeta.
Fra Mirko Majdandžić, jedan od dobitnika u kategoriji pojedinac_ka, kazao je kako se samo na temeljima mira grade mostovi koji povezuju ljude.
“Sigurno je veliko priznanje jer puno ljudi radi na izgradnju mira, samo njihovi koraci ne mogu biti prepoznati jer oni su u tišini, i ti su ljudi najvažniji jer negdje u pozadini rade na izgradnji mira. Poneko, kao ja, iskoči pa ima sreću da dobije nagradu ali ipak je ovo priznanje svim ljudima koji se trude i to je zadatak svih nas. Kao Božija stvorenja, moramo praviti mostove među ljudima, a mostovi se prave na temeljima mira i drugog puta nema”, kazao je Majdandžić.
Mreža za izgradnju mira ove godine dodijelila je dvije nagrade posthumno, i to Huseinu Oručeviću, dugogodišnjem novinaru i aktivisti, i Ameli Rebac, hrabroj novinarki i borkinji za ljudska prava. Haris Idriz, direktor za napredak i outreach UWC Mostar podsjetio je da na UWC Mostar dolaze djeca iz više od 70 zemalja svijeta i zajedno grade mir.
“Hvala Mreži mira koja je prepoznala rad Koledža ujedinjenog svijeta u Mostaru i Bosni i Hercegovini. Bile su dvije nominacije za Nobelovu nagradu za mir za Koledže ujedinjenog svijeta internacionalno, ali koledž u Mostaru je odgojno-obrazovna ustanova koja širi mir i okuplja građane iz BiH i svijeta, iz post-konfliktnih zemalja, koji zajedno dijele ideju mira i zajedno šire svoje priče koje doprinose izgradnji mira”, kazao je Idriz.
Prilikom odabira dobitnika ili dobitnica Mirovne nagrade uzimaju se u obzir postignuća nominiranih u godini prije primanja nagrade, kao i njihov stalni doprinos unapređenju ljudskih prava, očuvanja i izgradnje mira u BiH.
Mirovna nagrada “Goran Bubalo” dodjeljuje se svake godine, kako bismo prepoznali i podržali izuzetne napore ljudi koji teže obnovi mira, očuvanju i promociji pravde i ljudskih prava u Bosni i Hercegovini.
U ime Mreže mira, čestitamo i zahvaljujemo ovogodišnjim dobitnicima za njihov doprinos. Njihov rad je inspiracija za sve nas da nastavimo borbu za mir i pravdu.
Dodjela Mirovne nagrade “Goran Bubalo” održana je zahvaljujući programu Snaga Lokalnog, petogodišnjeg programa Američke agencije za međunarodni razvoj (USAID) koji radi na osnaživanju lokalnih zajednica.

Introducing the first workshop in a series of educational workshops organized by our Center for Professional Development of Teachers is the workshop for English language teachers on the topic "How to enhance students' communication in English classroom" led by UWC Mostar's English language B; Self-taught Language A Teacher Ivana Pehar!

"I am looking forward to the opportunity to once again meet and share experiences with fellow teachers from all across BiH. Our workshop will primarily focus on various approaches and practices to enhance communication in our English classes. Language and communication are inseparable, but how can we ensure students remain interested and receive equal input? This is a challenge that language teachers strive to master throughout their careers. I hope our guest teachers find our workshop valuable for sharing practices and materials. Teaching is a calling rather than a vocation, and as such, no teacher ever stops learning new ways to stimulate and inspire their students."
