Most Mira

Who we are

Most Mira means Bridge of Peace, and that is what we do - we help to build bridges between divided communities in Bosnia especially in the rural North West Bosnia. Through art and education projects, Most Mira has worked with over 1,500 young  Serbs, Muslims, Croats, Roma and others, as well as their teachers and parents.

Our projects give young people the chance to form new and lasting friendships across ethnic and religious divides, and to help develop their confidence to become leaders in their community.

The Most Mira Peace Centre, currently being built, will provide a sustainable performance space for project delivery and crucially a safe space which young people can use to continue developing their own projects.

Our aims

Most Mira works to promote a peaceful future in a country first divided by war and now divided by negative peace. For us peacebuilding involves outstretching your hand to break the invisible barrier between communities, aiming to create a chain of events that will lead to a better understanding of the other.

Most Mira’s approach focuses on addressing three obstacles to maintain peace in northern Bosnia:

1. ethnic segregation of young people;

2. lack of safe spaces for young people;

3. lack of opportunities for young people.
