Twelve civil society organisations united in the idea of jointly celebrating Volunteer Day in Sarajevo, displaying solidarity and gratitude to all volunteers that actively engage in daily activities and make the BiH society a better place to live.
On the occasion, in Sarajevo, the International Voluteer Day will be celebrated on 3 December with a Parade of Volunteers – a walk through the main streets of Sarajevo.
A public gathering of volunteers who will participate in the Parade will be in the parking lot in front of the City Hall at 11:00 am, after which at 11:30 am they will head towards the BBI Shopping Centre in the company of the Sarajevo Drum Orchestra, where the volunteers will take a millenium picture. After the programme in front of the Shopping Centre, the volunteers will head off to Dom mladih (Youth Centre) to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of International Volunteer Day with appropriate programme and a small party.
