Exchange Project Between Sweden and Bosnia: Exploring Culture and Diversity
We’re excited to share our latest international project: a cultural exchange between Sweden and Bosnia! Fifteen of our 8th-grade students, accompanied by four teachers, recently traveled to Bosnia to experience the richness of Bosnian culture and learn about diversity and inclusion in a new context.
The project’s focus was on cultural exchange, understanding differences, and promoting inclusion and diversity. While in Bosnia, our base was in Zenica, but we explored several historic and culturally significant locations:
- Travnik – The birthplace of Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić, where we visited his former home, now a museum.
- Jajce – Known for its stunning, large waterfall and historic significance.
- Visoko – Famous for the intriguing Bosnian pyramid.
- Sarajevo – Where we visited the renowned “Tunnel of Hope,” a powerful site that holds a deep history for the city.
On December 8, we’ll be welcoming our Bosnian friends to Sweden! Together, we’ve planned an exciting schedule that includes visits to Swedish cultural landmarks, such as the Vasa Museum, the Viking Museum, and the ABBA Museum. This exchange aims to strengthen our friendships and provide students with a broader understanding of each other’s cultures and shared values.
Stay tuned on our website for updates and photos from the exchange. We’re looking forward to creating lasting memories and experiences that will inspire our students for years to come!
