ACTIVITIES OF THE NETWORK IN JANUARY AND PLANS FOR FEBRUARY 2000

hCa Youth Network in BiH during January 2000 implemented following
activities:

- As we informed you in last numbers of monthly bulletins at this moment we implement the hCa Youth Network in BiH Campaign – “Corruption”.

We prepared and broadcasted radio jingles on the radio stations throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the framework of the campaign we printed postcards with messages against corruption and it have been sent to all political parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina, international and local organizations and institutions.

During January 2000 we printed also 5.000 copies of labels with same messages, and we distributed them through the organizations – members of the Network – throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.

- We collected questionnaires from a huge number of the organizations
and groups, members of the Network and we started to create database
about the youth organizations, their previous and future activities,
needs and capacities.

At the meantime we distributed the evaluation questionnaires to the members of the Network. The aim of the questionnaire is to perceive the actual state in the Network, joint success and mistakes and possibilities of concrete planning of the future steps.

38 organizations, members of the Network, have sent us 143
filled out questionnaires. According to those questionnaires, the
coordinators of the Network have made detailed analyze of the work and suggestions for planning of the year activities.

- Editor in chief of TNT magazine, Mr. Zlatko Vasic, has started the
preparations for the 4th number of TNT. The magazine should be printed in second party of February.

24th – 30th January 2000 we have held the training in Bugojno about
non-violent communication and conflict resolution for youth leaders.

The aim of the training is development of different skills: non-violent communication, conflict resolution, communication, negotiations and leading skills.

Benjamin Delahmetovic and Sanela Pasic (team of trainers) together with youngsters from whole BiH have worked on different topics: non-violent communication, cooperation, differences of the national identities, conflict management, non-violence and power, gender relations and negotiations.

We hope that those six days in Bugojno gave to all of us new energy,
inspiration and contacts for successful work in our environments.

- Network coordinators worked on reporting of donors about the Network’s project implementation in last period, and they also worked on work planning for this year.

- We have held two working meetings with SHL, Nesto Vise (Something
More) from Sarajevo and CARE International (one in Sarajevo on 17th
January and the other in Tuzla on 1st February). The aim of the meetings was preparations for organizing of youth fair, which should be held in Sarajevo, 24th – 28th August 2000.

- We prepared the WEB page of hCa Youth Network in BiH. We use this
opportunity to invite all of our members which have some of the
materials from previous activities of the Network (photos etc.) to send
it to Denis Mihic in Mostar ().

- In the framework of cooperation with Danish youth organizations DUF
and FAJABEFA, we prepared the trip of BH young musicians on the tour in Denmark (project WIRED). The tour lasts from 3rd – 14th February 2000, and there will participate: rock group “16. September” from Tuzla and group “Revolt” from Banja Luka.

INFORMATIONS

Dear Friends,
Transitions Online, an Internet magazine covering Central and Eastern
Europe, the Balkans, and the former Soviet Union is looking for
correspondents.

The site http://www.transitions-online.org has been running for about a
year, and receives over 300,000 hits a month.

Transitions Online is being expanded into the most prominent and extensive online source of information on the Balkans, Central and Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union.

Reliable, motivated journalists are crucial to our project's success. To
keep our coverage up-to-date and relevant, we are seeking responsible
journalists from the region who are seeking international exposure and a
challenging part-time position.

The responsibilities will be:

* to work closely with editors regarding the events in their home
country, suggesting story and feature ideas

* to contribute news bites for our weekly news service

* to monitor media in their region

* to occasionally write full-length stories and to suggest and contact
local journalists to whom such articles could be commissioned

* to contact local photographers and artists to provide visual
accompaniment to stories

The journalists will remain in their country of origin but will be in
touch with Transitions Online editors via email.

We are looking for young, dynamic, and motivated journalists who can provide interesting local angles on wider regional trends with a thorough knowledge of their home country.

The candidate must have excellent English skills and sound news judgement, and should be easily contactable -- preferably by e-mail
-- on a daily basis.

Salary and weekly commitments will be discussed at
a later date.

If you are interested in becoming a Transitions Online stringer, please
send a resume (to ) and a brief letter telling us how you
think you could benefit Transitions Online; plus a story idea from an
issue affecting your region, which you feel has been under-reported in
the international press.

Please pass this message along to anyone you think might be a good
candidate. We look forward to hearing from you.
