A hundred and seventeen young people from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina participated at the four Youth Forums organised in March 2015 in Sarajevo, Mostar, Tuzla and Banja Luka. The results of the first round of Youth Forums were presented at the first conference of the Dialogue platform “Dialogue – Road to the Future” held on April 22, 2015 in Sarajevo. During the conference, the fundamental document representing official support of the Presidency to the non-governmental sector in BiH – a declaration of support from the BiH Presidency and the UN for the initiatives that aim to promote coexistence and diversity in BiH – was signed. The joint meeting aims at fostering cooperation and discussing current youth issues in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and is intended to contribute to networking of the participants of the Youth Forums in Sarajevo, Mostar, Tuzla and Banja Luka, as well as the participants who received awards during the 2014 Dialogue for the Future summer camps. The participants of the joint meeting are active members of Youth Forums, award-recepients from 2014, the most prominent activists of the non-govenmental sector and members of the Commission for Coordination of Youth Issues in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

He introduced them to the Youth Strategy in FBiH, which should be developed by the end of this year. The young participants had a multitude of questions about the work performed by Youth Officers at the local level.
