The project aims at strengthening co-operation between schools in the cross-border area of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro through educational, cultural and sport activities. These activities will enhance students contacts and be instrumental for their exchange of ideas and experiences. The joint activities included organizing theatre performances and presenting the cultural heritage of the area as well as reviving the work of the young scouts through the exploration of cultural and historical heritage of the area of NP Durmitor and of the National Park Sutjeska. Skiing and basketball courses are also planned by the project that will provide the students a chance to jointly acquire and enhance sport skills to be demonstrated in a competition after the courses.

The project has contributed to the improvement in the quality of cross border exchanges amongst the youth population and strengthened cooperation through educational, cultural and sport activities. The number of cultural, educational and sport events in the cross border region is increased through the organisation of two theatre plays (20 students organising and performing), two museum visits (20 students participating), two quizzes (20 students organising and participating), basketball and skiing courses (40 students participating). These activities were instrumental for raising awareness about common natural and cultural resources.
