“If you want to learn something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it.”– Yogi Bhajan

Positive YOUth is a non-profit organisation striving to bring more positivity through self-development opportunities for local communities. We are looking for diverse self-development tools to support the innovative non-formal education method of mindfulness and use it for transforming our often critical minds into positive, passionate and We do it by starting with one single individual in the mirror - YOU. Positive mind is a source of physical well-being, tranquility, happiness and success which describes the best of our philosophy - to become the best versions of ourselves in order to inspire the peers and build supportive communities for a better future, for ourselves and the ones around.

Our vision is to together grow a supportive community of people, committed to lifelong learning and self-development in order to live a little bit more meaningful, mindful, sustainable and positive lives.

General Information

The University Sarajevo School of Science and Technology (the University SSST) was opened in October 2004 in Sarajevo as the first private University in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dedicated to providing internationally competitive education, SSST established collaboration with the University of Buckingham (United Kingdom), and is today the only private University in BiH offering its graduates a dual degree. Through this collaboration, SSST is the only University in the region of South-Eastern Europe monitored by the UK's Quality Assurance Agency. University SSST employs internationally educated academic staff currently numbering 112 members. SSST along with its founding MET Foundation are offering a number of scholarships, with the possibility of extending the scholarship decision, subject to the candidate meeting of all the requirements stipulated by the SSST Scholarship Rules and Regulations, with more then 10 international partners and organizations providing full and partial scholarships. With more then 50 universities, research institutes and facilities acting as partners in projects as well as curricular activities, SSST boast a significant collaborative network engaged within various granting schemes, mainly European Union (Erasmus+ programs) and other similar opportunities.

Mission and Objectives

The main mission of the University SSST is to offer an internationally acclaimed, high-quality education on par with highest rated word universities. To fulfil its mandate for excellence, the University SSST has put together an internationally educated and ambitious Faculty, many of whose members come to us from the world's leading universities (MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Georgetown, and Imperial College). The Faculty is actively engaged in research projects within their fields, remaining at the forefront of their profession’s advances both in terms of research and innovative teaching methodology. Our University employs one professor for every four students – the highest ratio in the region and wider – while our system of academic advising ensures that professors and teaching assistants are available for daily consultations and are charged with individual monitoring of each student's academic progress. The University SSST curriculum, taught entirely in English language, seeks not only to transfer technical skills and academic knowledge but also to build confident and globally-minded graduates, prepared for the challenging international environment.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

With its policies of open dialogue and continuing academic exploration of existing public narratives, especially in the context of war-stricken Bosnia-Herzegovina that is still suffocating in post-war traumas and recurring nationalistic turmoil almost three decades post-war, the University SSST is deeply committed to empowering new voices, especially within its existing Political Science and International Relations Faculty, to engage and inspire change within its own micro communities and wider. This is why the University SSST is adamant in spearheading various research activates and projects concerning vulnerable groups (such as migrant and migration phenomena which has now reached a critical phase especially in the Western Balkans, but also now in Western Europe with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict) and reexamining national politics within the global context. We believe that activities already rooted in the University programs are mirroring the ALF's efforts on an international scale, as our students are not just active within the proposed project activities of our departments, but also develop social consciousness early on which enables them to be progressive and effective in creating positive change.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We believe that membership to the ALF Network, besides participating in a wide-range, strong and cohesive network for enabling positive change in policymaking processes, would provide us with the opportunity to engage with similar organizations with research background, enhancing possibilities for a more substantial impact through project activities on a lager scale. The University SSST is also the initiator of the Mediterranean Forum, previously known as Dubrovnik Talks, an event created to provide a unique geopolitical and scientific platform addressing global economic, political and scientific issues in the context of Mediterranean area. This international conference has been involving various researchers in social, medical, natural, computer and other sciences since 2017, and has particularly been focused on migrant crisis in the region, with the aim of establishing potential policy solutions in a growing humanitarian crisis. We trust that our University's mission and vision are compatible with the overall purpose of the ALF Network, and we are looking forward to establishing mutually beneficial collaboration.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

With its policies of open dialogue and continuing academic exploration of existing public narratives, especially in the context of war-stricken Bosnia-Herzegovina that is still suffocating in post-war traumas and recurring nationalistic turmoil almost three decades post-war, the University SSST is deeply committed to empowering new voices, especially within its existing Political Science and International Relations Faculty, to engage and inspire change within its own micro communities and wider. This is why the University SSST is adamant in spearheading various research activates and projects concerning vulnerable groups (such as migrant and migration phenomena which has now reached a critical phase especially in the Western Balkans, but also now in Western Europe with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict) and reexamining national politics within the global context. We believe that activities already rooted in the University programs are mirroring the ALF's efforts on an international scale, as our students are not just active within the proposed project activities of our departments, but also develop social consciousness early on which enables them to be progressive and effective in creating positive change.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We believe that membership to the ALF Network, besides participating in a wide-range, strong and cohesive network for enabling positive change in policymaking processes, would provide us with the opportunity to engage with similar organizations with research background, enhancing possibilities for a more substantial impact through project activities on a lager scale. The University SSST is also the initiator of the Mediterranean Forum, previously known as Dubrovnik Talks, an event created to provide a unique geopolitical and scientific platform addressing global economic, political and scientific issues in the context of Mediterranean area. This international conference has been involving various researchers in social, medical, natural, computer and other sciences since 2017, and has particularly been focused on migrant crisis in the region, with the aim of establishing potential policy solutions in a growing humanitarian crisis. We trust that our University's mission and vision are compatible with the overall purpose of the ALF Network, and we are looking forward to establishing mutually beneficial collaboration.
