This was one of the most prominent activities I participated in 2017, it was a NATO council simulation organised by the center for Socio-Economic development. We debated on issues of domestic terorrism and others. One of the main benefits was the increased education about our position to NATO and spreading awereness about both the benefits and negatives of NATO. I represented the KIngdom of the Netherlands, and I won the best delegate award.

This event was under the sponsorship of the AFS exchange programme where a kid from Iceland, was hosted by me for 10 days in Banja Luka. His name is Símon Þórhallsson. He was in Sarajevo for a 9 month exchange, and he wanted to experience the other part of Bosnia and Herzegovina in his last few days. We had a lot of fun, we went to the local chess section, as well as hiked to Banj Brdo. I showed him the best parts of Banja Luka and I can safely claim that he learned the language admirably. We had a great time and remained in touch, and we are still good friends to this day.

So this event was held in Gimnazija Banja Luka, it lasted from 7:30 to 15:30h. It was organised by teacher Jelena Doslov and students from the national and IB program. This action revolved around students baking cookies and bringing them to school, then selling them. All of the profits from the cookies would go to one family who was in desperate need of utilities such as a washing machine and etc. We collected more then 1000 convertible marks.

This activity is sort of self-explanatory, along the lines of “clean up the world project” we gathered around and cleared  trash along the river Vrbas in our home city. It was relatively fun, since we kinda picked up trash.

Banja Luka MuN

Today’s date: 3.5.2017.

This activity included: activity, creativity and action

Duration of activity: 3.5 days (27.4.2017.-30.4.2017)

The time for the MuN conference is here. l was chosen as a delegate of the United States of America at the Security  Cuncil and l was also host to Nikola Jovanović and Antonio Galić from UWC Mostar.

Committee sessions were very interesting, especially the one on which we discussed the Islamic State. All of the delegates were present and discussion was fruitous. . By the  3-days period I got  an honorable  mention.

As l was host, l did take part in many activities outside the committee, mostly together with people from Mostar and from our school. It was nice to watch the talent and sports show.We went to eat Banjalučki ćevap and l am glad that all the Mostar people liked it, apart from the vegetarians. 

During the city tour, even if i live here i learned a lot of new things about some buildings and the past of my city and l was explaining additionally to some students what l knew. That was both action and service!

I am glad i participated in such an event. I would like to thank everybody who participated.
