An interactive game for Youth – Vijećko in Sarajevo

Recognizing that many young people often view anything related to politics, including laws affecting them, with a certain stigma, Youth Council of the Federation of B&H identified the need for a change in approach when disseminating knowledge on such topics. Consequently, they have decided to work towards reigniting the youth’s enthusiasm for learning through a game—a pursuit that many abandon in childhood.

The primary aim of the game is to effectively establish the Youth Council of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH). Players are required to work together, employing collaborative strategies to secure a successful outcome. Failure to establish the Youth Council results in the game prevailing over the players. The focal point of the game is centred on the organizational dynamics of the youth in FBiH, thus providing an in-depth exploration of the concept of youth organizing.

The game features accompanying cards that highlight essential aspects of the FBiH Youth Law, shed light on the outcomes derived from youth policies in FBiH, and address ongoing challenges faced by young individuals. Prominent among these challenges is the pervasive issue of brain drain. The game has been designed to accommodate 3 to 8 players, with a targeted duration spanning between 1.5 to 2.5 hours.

In addition to the opportunity to socialize with young people from your community, this time in Sarajevo, this is also a unique opportunity to learn about the rights you have as a young person.
