Our third associated partner comes from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The organization fosters competence, security and community through the mutual care of the individual and the community. “Nešto Više” encourages positive change in society by giving individuals and groups the opportunity to build, through formal and informal education, networking, work, shared experiences, and help, others into competent and responsible leaders who believe in themselves and others for openness and belonging to their society.

Among other topics, they focus on breaking down prejudices and closed value systems, protection and promotion of mental health, improving socio-economic living conditions, providing various forms of assistance to vulnerable categories in society and offering professional training and cooperation with students while improving study conditions in BiH.
