Mission and Objectives

Genesis Project mission is to, through our professionals and dedicated individuals, help children and adolescents throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina in fulfilling their rights to have free and correct psychophysical development regardless of their religious, ethnic and racial belonging whilst respecting their individual differences and potentials.
Our main objectives are:
• To overcome the ethnic segregation.
• To develop and support various co-existence initiatives throughout B&H.
• To implement and support different peace building initiatives.
• To educate children and adults about the peaceful conflict prevention and resolution,
child safety and violence prevention.
• To reduce the negative impact that mines, unexploded ordinances and small arms and light weapons have on children and their communities in B&H.
 

Main Projects / Activities

Through our work, we are seeking to build the trust and change the attitudes among different ethnic groups as a precondition for the creation of a safer environment. Through our work in the primary schools we want to improve the communication and cooperation between the divided ethnic groups and to create the peaceful and safe environment for the children in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The peace building is the main activity of our organization and therefore we have undertaken numerous peace building projects and activities. Our work is mostly focused in the primary schools located in the ethnically divided communities throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina and through our activities we are affecting a large community of people: children, teachers and parents.
In the schools where we worked, the communication skills were improved and bridges of trust and cooperation have been established. Correspondingly, the pupils have shown a higher level of knowledge about conflict, peaceful conflict prevention, etc. They also participated less in the violence and had more active role in stopping the violence in their inner environment.
Small but consistent changes in attitudes and behaviours in the field of multi-ethnic relations have also been recorded. The pupils have shown greater willingness to socialize with their peers from other ethnicities. The prejudices were also reduced.
Similar results were obtained with the teaching staff and our projects have improved the interethnic relations at school and approximately 80% of the senior grades teachers pointed out that they now spend more time with the colleagues from other components, and 94% stated that they are now closer. Over 60% of respondents supported the cooperation between the school components. After our workshops a higher percentage of teachers are for integration of the school components.
Our experiences with the pupils have taught us that children gladly participate in the joint activities; they quickly overcome the ethnic separation and develop friendships being highly motivated and dedicated to the project and its aims. For example, the teachers who have participated in our workshops have asked for the activities to be continued because they felt that these workshops offered the opportunities to expand their skills and knowledge jointly.
More about our work in divided schools you can see in the following story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY3a8xSeI9khttps://www.youtube.com/watch...
Furthermore, our work in the field of the mine risk education is very successful. The BiH Mine Action Canter recorded more than 18,200 minefields, but it is estimated that the total number of the minefields is 30,000, containing about one million mines. The locations of many minefields are still unknown. The minefields were placed along the former confrontation line, which was the subject of frequent changes, so that the mines can be found throughout the country. The members of the Genesis Project are working simultaneously on several levels and including several groups of direct beneficiaries: peer educators, teachers and students. Through our activities we are supporting the long-term school battle against landmines and UXO.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We are willing to share our experience gathered through peace building project implemented throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Through our work, we are seeking to build the trust and change the attitudes among different ethnic groups as a precondition for the creation of a safer environment.

Main Projects / Activities

The main project of the society is the International Gumusluk Classical Music Festival. 
It began in 2004 as a series of piano recitals, with the aim of furthering and supporting the education of Turkish music students. 
In 2005 the festival expanded to include all instruments.  By 2006 the founding aim of the festival was put into action. The Festival academy was born in this year, and attracted a group of students from Australia, Japan, Greece, UK and Turkey. The GFA ( Gumusluk Festival Academy) continues to this day, and is at the core of all festival activities and programming, Over 600 students have attended GFA in its 10 year history. 
The festival itself continues to grow each year. In 2008, it expanded its'borders by moving bigger-scale orchestral concerts to the Bodrum, using historically important venues such as the Bodrum Castle and the Bodrum anique theatre.  In 2010 & 2011 alongside the classical music programme a jazz programme was developed. In the same years the first of the Adnan Saygun Piano Competition was realised. This bi-annual event takes place with the aims of supporting young music students with cash prizes and performance opportunities, but also carries the aim of promoting one of Turkeys most succesfull and prolific composers, Saygun to the world and encouraging its performance amongst the younger generations. 
The association has organised winter concert series, notably in 2011 - 2012, the "Gumusluk Classical and Jazz days" took place over an 8 month period and listed a calendar of national and Internatioa s stars

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

In 2016, for the first time the festival plans are to expand on a larger scale than ever before. Incorporating three festivals into one the festival hopes to grow its educational programs to include non-classical music workshops. A dedicated Jazz festival, and a dedicated Guitar festival are programmed to run alongside, and as a part of the Classical music Festival.

denominations and religions.
