9th of May
Surprise surprise to the boys, the girl had arrived earlier than expected. Happy welcome with song and coffee at 10am.
Søren and Anders had planed to go to the beach that day and Hedvig jumped on that train as well. The Wednesday update will be a parallel story.
Hanne and I (Nanna) stayed at the apartment to work on their projects. After fighting for a couple of hours with a Power Point presentation for the workshop Saturday (I definitely needs more practice) I went into town. Only small project to solve this day, like getting a Bosnian number, sending postcards and drinking coffee.
On the bridge and under it was full of people cheering. Children drawings were exhibit on the fence and a guy was standing on the roof of a building with a big flag. The divers who often jump from the bridge (30m high) to the river were getting ready. Something big was going on.
First flowers were thrown into the water, then three divers jumping at the same time with the legs first and the final was a man jumping with the head first. It al happened very fast and was over very fast.
The 9th of May is the day the muslims were attached by the Coats and they gather at the bridge to do the ceremony.
Coffee and postcards I took care of at Budda bar.
Back on the bridge two guys were taking down the drawings. It was drawings of smashed Nazi symbols, the bridge during and after the war and freedom. Hmm apparently it was legal to exhibit on the bridge as we first thought of. Why not get in contact and keep the option open, you never know what will happen.
I randomly met Hanne on the bridge and together we jumped in with both legs – not in the river though, but the trap of two guys. we got to see the bridge museum, visit the diver club, a lot of information about the town, traditions of the 400 year old club, all very exiting things. But we had to sacrifice a whole afternoon as well, listen to how one of guys did all the girls in town, so in the end we had to do some kind of an escape act. Before we could run away they even claimed that we had to pay 80KM for 4 beers (normal price 12KM). Unfortunately they had helped me with my new phone number and of course saved it on their own phones, so I had 10 “missed calls” later that day.
THE PARALLEL...
Ya - It was a Surprise to find out that the girls had returned during the night and were sleeping when we came home. On our way home last night witch were meant to be an early chilled night, Anders wanted to by ONE cigaret from a random dude in the Local pub. We have never been there but walks by every morning. The owner asked us to sit down and offered us A drink. We were on the way home but thought that ONE local Sljivovica could be a nice “finish off” on a good day. So we sais “da, Vhalla” -yes please-. and sat down. To the uninformed Sljivovica is the Local Snaps made from plums, contains about 40% alcohol. We only had time to look at the drink before he gave us an other one... This is just an other example of the friendly welcoming we experience all the time. He sat down to have a drink with us, nice man. He knew no English or other language than Bosnien but he did know all the different football players in Denmark and the main clubs. Even AB-Copenhagen... what’s up with that?? amazing!
Anders and me had a REALLY hard time to stop this man serving us! As soon as we looked the other way a new drink was in front of us. Anders tried to hide the glass but the barman found it again and so it kept on. When the bottle was empty, about a liter later, Anders & me rolling our eyes and holding the hand over the glass, saying NO! NO! NO! he started to give us beers instead... This experience was the foundation for not cashing the bus on time the next morning. Next morning feeling fresh though waking up two hours to late. We had planed to go to the water and as Nanna wrote Hedvig would joined us. We all tree of us went with a happy smile (and the boys with a funny stomach, after yesterday). We were heading for the city Neum in south Bosnia for a swim. We found a bus and jumped on. About 1,5 hours driving and the bus stopped. Out of the window we saw a lot of police, the flag of Bosnia & Hertegovina and on the other side the Croatian flag. It looked very much as if this was the boarder, witch didn’t make any sense since Neum still is in Bosnia. Well never the less this was the Boarder and we had no Passport... yaya we could all hear our mom and dads voices in the back of our heads -remember your passport... well anyway, we tried with drivers license and business cards -but no luck! we where left in No-mans land with a hangover and a towel. So much for swimming! after a while a bus came by, heading back to Mostar. we jumped on it and had a yet an other 1,5 hour drive back...

The chicks in Sarajevo
6.00 am the alarm went on, time for the girls to get up. Sarajevo was tree hours away and the destination of the day. A deep breath, a cup of coffee and a quick shower, then out of the door and in the bus. Sleep, sleep, sleep and Sarajevo was outside the window.
We checked in at the cheapest hostel in town, dropped the bags… breakfast, included in the price, consisting of a hard boiled egg and two dead pieces of meet (sausages) no thanks, we wanted something else.
We wandered the streets of rainy Sarajevo searching for a café with breakfast. A part from the bad weather the old town was really lovely. Small streets, old houses of stones, a big mosque and cafés all over.
We did not really have a plan for what to do in Sarajevo. Researching on the Internet did not give the best options and after trying out the tourist office we did not feel much wiser. Instead we decided to walk and see where the streets would bring us.
Apparently, this day was the last day of “Sarajevo Fashion Week” and the youth house, where the team 9 girls did their project, was hosting a fashion show that night. We were told just to buy tickets in the evening for the event, great!
Then the second cup of coffee and a long talk about how we could make the very practical and boring clothes we had broad into fashion show outfits? We agreed about buying some make-up and that Nanna should get a haircut.
The streets brought us to a café full of colourful pastries. We picked the three best looking, and realized that sometimes looking can be better that tasting.
Then our curious wandering around town continued. Nanna was dropped of at the hairdresser, who used half an hour on getting hold on the natural dreadlocks. Nice result in the end though.
On the way back to the hostel we shopped for the evening event and had yet an other coffee. Sarajevo has so many different lovely cafés.
We got a bottle of Champaign just to get the party started. But first one hour of sleep, then music on, got dressed and sweet sweet champaign. Puha.
The red carpet and the spotlights were on when we arrived at the fashion show. Probably not for us though! We had on the way talked about laminating our business cards and use them for entrance, or telling that we were from the Norwegian “Elle”. Also the idea about Hanne running in front of Hedvig and Nanna doing a lot of pictures, when we arrived to make us look famous, was on the table for suggestions. We had so many good ideas how to get in for free. Well we did not need a good story or to buy tickets, we could just walk in.
It was a really cool room and people were already lined up waiting for the show to begin. It was funny to see the dresses and experience how big the different styles are around the world.
We went for late dinner. Too late actually, so we had to deal with yet an other byrek (butter dove with “you-name-it”).
We ended a great girly day at an Arabic café. Never had any of us experienced such a perfect place. Even the bathrooms were lovely. We got a huge arguila (water pipe) and a beer. They had nice music and great atmosphere. Even though the day had been rainy we had enjoyed wandering the streets of Sarajevo, trying to get a feeling of the city.
We woke up looking at the blue sky and the sun.
Checking out was at 10am and again we skipped the breakfast at the hostel.
Sarajevo was a whole new town today. People all over, running around. Where had they all been yesterday?
We went up the hill to get a view of the city from “the top”. It is funny how the city feels like a mix of many different places. Sometimes it is like being in Austria, then in Prague. The green beautiful mountains all around the city still with undiscovered mines. Many different kinds of people and religions. Sarajevo has many faces.
We were sitting just people watching for many hours, trying to find a pattern. It was not easy. The only thing we could figure out was that we really liked the place and wanted to go back again.
We had a quick visit in the mosque before heading back home to Mostar. After only one week, Mostar has become our home.
It was great with 2 days off, but now we really look forward to get started. And as you can read below this, the guys really had been busy. Great!
We have a meeting tomorrow at the Gymnasium with the student council, it is very exiting.
Song of the Sarajevo trip: “Love will tear us apart again”
New words: Kolaci = cakes
Torte = fancy cakes
joining the University.
After a killer day yesterday we manage to sleep until 10.30. Still no news from the girls in Sarajevo. No news is good news, so we made a cop of coffee. Bib Bib it said, the Bosnien simcards are being used. “Do you guys wanna come and see the university?” it said on Sørens phone. Of course we would. and half an hour later we were sitting in a 25 square meter room, with no air, not enough tables or chaires for the about 45 students. People were sitting in the windows, on the floor and on top of each other to fit into the room. It didn’t make it much better that me and Anders joint the lecture. Again people just smiles and welcome you.
The class was English History in English, so no problems with the language. Maybe not the most interesting class for two kaospilots to attend but suddently magic happend. The professore was teaching about the democratic system in England, and wanted to make parallels with the Bosnien. So he asked the class: who is our prim-minister? -No answer! -Do we have a prim-minister? -No answer. some jokes were made, people were laughing and me and Anders were choked! In the brake we asked the students about why they were not interested in their own government. The answer we got was that it is boring, it is not democracy it is Etno-cracy they called it. Where ministers get chosen by their ethnical background and not how many people in the public that votes for them. Scary to hear. a detail we missed out in our research. what a start of a day! it’s not over yet. lets see what happens!

Extrem Effectivity, And Lots Of Fun
Yesterday morning the girls went up very early, they wanted to take some days off in Sarajevo. they left at 6.30 to use the time most efficiently. Søren and I sleept till around 9.00 o’clock. The day was ment to chill out, enjoy the sun and mingle around with some of our new friends of Mostar. We only had a few small business to do.
Surprisingly the day turned out in the total opposite way and was one of our most efective days so far. We started out by buying bosnian sim-card to our phones(Søren: 00387 62935361, Anders: 00387 62935362) Right after that we went to drinking coffee at our regular bar “the budda bar”, chit-chating with our new friend Mary, who is a waitress there, played a little hagi and basically just using a little time to wake up.
We had an appointment at the Office of Democracy around 11 o’clock, just to tjeck if they had received one of our mail about getting permission to the photo-exhibition that will take place the 25th at the spanish square near the former frontline, but suddenly things started to happent. Instead of only one person working with us there, we know have three person helping us caring out our project: Jlenia, the italian girl, who is taking on the responsibility helping us getting funding for the exhibition, she talked with the municipality for ages, and afterward she said that we have great opportunities to get some money, we will get the answer tomorrow. Armel, a guy, 29 who will work as our interpreter translating all our letters to the police, electricity-man and municipality in order to make the exhibition. Alma, 25 years old and very enthusiastic about our project. She will work as our head of contacts to the different students-councils at the different schools in Mostar. Together with her we started building up a big pyramid of contacts to students that will partecipate in the interviews. Alma was a little stressed in the beginning due to the fact that all her important mails just where erased from her computer. But with Søren’s and mine relaxed and kind attitude, coffee and cigarettes and a few laugh she calmed down, and the work could begin.
Alma brought us to another very important institution in our project “The Nansen Dialoge Center” who provided us with all the contact information on chairmen of the different student-councils. We started together with Alma to phone all there chairmen and arranged 8 meeting thursday and friday. A network is created to get the interview done, it looks like this.
After some hours with very intens work we all three agreed about a big cold beer at Abresevic - the youth house. Here we ran into Anders bagammon friends from the day before, and they were planning to go to Split in Croatia to see Gotan Project live. This was an oppotunity we didn’t want to miss out on and asked for a seat in the car. We got a maybe, witch was a no... so still in Mostar. We then planed to meet up for dinner with our friend Mary. jumped in a taxi to get home to dress up. When Anders took his seat belt on the taxi driver said: Don’t worry- it’s okay! I know the police... He was a russian taxi driver there didn’t speak english (except the sentence about knowing the police) he didn’t speak Bosnien either. Then we tried spanish (witch actually works a lot down here) but not this time. German - No luck. French NO WAY! only Russian... difficult but funny! he was a good man and helped us home from centrum and back again for 10 KM -35 kr.
-beers with Elma, from democracy office and Hana from Nansens Dialogue center.
We then went to a local pub to wait for our friend. Here we found a Jukebox! Wauw -you might think! but it is wauw when you have heard Gipsy musik 24-7 for a week! we took turns as a jukebox Dj and first on our way out realist that we had been playing for the hole square in the old town and not just the 4 of us in the bar. a small laugh! We keep trying different local alkohol and we keep being disappointed. Our friend didn’t show up, we were two Billy no mates in Mostar.
-Mary, our new local friend and giude. -Fantastic person!
We took it with a smile and found a group of young Muslims sitting on a stone under the old bridge. We went down to them and said hello. They were very nice and we had a beer together. We had some very good talkes with them about religion and how it is to be young in Mostar. f.eks they are muslims but drinking beers on a monday. A very relax way of practicing islam. Some of them had a hard time understanding Anders´arguments for being an atheist. We turned the talk into Abresevic and how they use it. This was interesting for our project, course they didn’t like to come there. It was too alternative, and it was only people from outside Mostar using it. -they said. This we were surprised to hear! We went home late and had a late night dinner. VERY NICE DAY!

Higher Level
The day started a bit slow today due to the fact that we had a blast last night!
But when we got some breakfast, a cup of coffee and a shower we were all ready to get some serious work done so we went to our regular hang-out place; the Budha bar with pens, paper and a fresh mind.
Our plan for today was to make a SWOT analysis, stakeholder analysis and have a brainstorm on how we could take the project to a higher level.
The SWOT and stakeholder analysis really helped us to clarify what and who we are dealing with in this project, possible outcomes and what needs to be done to turn our threats and weaknesses around.
After an hour or so of really digging into the project, being realistic and focused on where we are right now we started the “higher level” brainstorm.
It was so much fun, people around us were looking kind of strange at us sitting there with pens in every colour of the rainbow making drawings and writing things down as it popped into our heads. True KP style!
Anyway, we got some really good ideas on how we can take it to the next level and how we can expand on the ideas that we are already working with- we all left Budha bar with a smile on our faces!
Nanna went home, Anders stayed at Buddha just chilling on his own and
Søren, Hanne and Hedvig went for a walk to explore the Croatian part of the city.
It was a beautiful walk, just walking around looking at houses and people in the street.
We got to see a completely new side of Mostar and it ended up in quite a long walk before we headed back towards home. On our way home we stopped by the Youth house to have a coffee where we found Anders playing backgammon with some guys there, we sat down talked a bit- Hanne found some games so we played one round before we started walking home.
The girls made dinner for Søren and now we are all just watching a movie, reading a book or playing with our macs- a really nice Sunday in other words!!
-Søren had a crach course in Photoshop! -Wuhoo!
Song of the day: “Personal Jesus”- Depeche Mode
Word of the day: “izvini,Stranci”- sorry stranger

Mingle the kids
When our photographer arrived.
The day started out with us joining the Office of Democracy to a opening session for a new kindergarden. this is the first kindergarden where muslims and Croats can go together. It was an amazing experience even though non of us understood what was said. The girls and anders started to mingle with the locals and Søren took upon the roll as a photographer. It was funny to see an opening of a kindergarden with only grownup smoking cigarets... there were only one child. Well Anders were with us, so i guess we could say two!!
It was raining heavily from the early morning and it kept on during the day.
Yesterday we planed the meeting with Valentina and we showed up in good time and had a coffee before she arrived. This meeting was a -lets plan the action plan- meeting. And so we did. Valentina is indeed a fantastic person! We went into details about the workshop we will run through with the Gymnasium and divided rolls.
As it is now, we are going to join a Students council on wednesday and we will have the “identity workshop” the 12. of may. The Meeting was very nice and many questions was answered. The deeper we get into the culture the more we see the need for our project, witch in a way is sad.
later we had a -lets chill home listen to the rain- afternoon.
Hanne, our photographer, arrived at around 7 and the groups strong men welcomed her and carried her bags. we had a chilled dinner with white wine and Salmon rissotto. Valentina had invited us over before the balkan rock concert that night. We had a few drinks with her and meet some of the students, one from Mostar and one from St. Petersberg. The rock concert was an experience for it self! This was a biker gathering from all over balkan to listen to this band. Many interesting personalities dancing around that night. unfortunately we don’t have any pictures from this night be course our professional photographer managed to delete all pictures, both her own and Sørens. -by accident, she says... :0)
-here there should be a picture...
“songs of the day -Radiohead” -all of them!!
The word of the day -osmiputnik, the Balkan rockers.

Many interesting personalities dancing around that night. unfortunately we don’t have any pictures from this night be course our professional photographer managed to delete all pictures, both her own and Sørens. -by accident, she says... :0)
-here there should be a picture...
“songs of the day -Radiohead” -all of them!!
The word of the day -osmiputnik, the Balkan rockers.
give me a "GAME PLAN"
We started the day by splitting up a bit. While Hedvig was making pancakes to the other guys Nanna want into town for a coffee, a book and some time on my own. We had agreed to meet up at “Abraz Evic”, the youth centre at one, with hopes about getting the promised working space.
I guess we once again experience, why it is important not to celebrate anything before you have it in your hands. Maja (leader of the place) wasn’t to be found anywhere, no one else knew anything – luckily we have an apartment with space!
We had a strange feeling in the group of being restless and floating. Due to the fact that we were not busy for the first time in a month, we felt something was wrong. Were we not working enough, had we missed out on something important in the project or had we simply prepared so much before we came here, that we were allowed to breath a bit and enjoy “a couple of days off”?
What else than a little check-in and a “game plan” can give the answer to a question like that?
Back in our apartment we lit the candles, found some candy and did it the Kaospilot-way.
The “game plan” made our whole month very visual and we realized that from the 9th of May it would all move a bit faster. Most important from these hours of visualizing, we found that the project could be taken to a higher level – this we will brainstorm on tomorrow.
We went out for dinner by the river. Everything was very quiet in town even though an important soccer match was taking place. Hmm, where were everybody, where are all the young people of this town?
Well they had all showed up, when we were done eating 500g of steak each. In front of the restaurant tree kind of different music was pumping out of the loudspeakers at the same time, and it was crowed. We grabbed a beer an enjoyed the setting of diamante earrings, heavy perfume and a lot of youngsters hanging around and dancing.
Budda bar became the next stop and a charming bartender saved our evening. Good vibe, deep conversation and a lot of love (mostly between the boys), drinks and rain.
We got invited for lunch with the bartender and her friends the day after before we left for Oxygen. Last stop before home – hardcore 95´disco style. Move your body! We danced and did a lot of pictures and ended a great day with an energy boom!
Anders is brilliant in English just read this: “ Søren is between my top 100 charming friends, he sneaks very good up” “sometimes my English very fuckes up! But I just speak.”
Song of the day: yo Magnus tillykke med din konfirmation

The band that never showed up!
We started the day slowly with checking e-mails, coffee and breakfast.
First stop for the day was the high school in Mostar, which we are going to work with. Our contact person there Valentina we have had some problems in getting in contact with, so we wanted to try out the old fashion communication way, by showing up at the school, ask around and wait. We did not really know who we were looking for, but after one and a half hour and a cup of coffee, a smiling, black haired woman showed up.
-Meeting with Valentina.
We had a meeting with her to agree upon when to have a meeting. After a short briefing we agreed to meet the day after to make an action plan for the workshop and the research - the core foundation of the project.
-Grafiti on the wall of the Youth house, with bullet holes.
While hanging out at our favourite place, the youth cultural centre, we met a gay, German speaking, local guy. He was the owner of a second hand shop. We went with him there and did a little shopping. Hedvig got herself a big fur for 75 kr. She is so hot! He invited us to meet with him for a smoke and beer before the concert later that night, but he was quit pushy, so we talked our way around not making any plans with him.
It had been raining heavy the whole day, so we were soaked when we came to the meeting with Jlenia at the Democracy Office.
-The Democracy offices logo, we would like to show the office but for some how blogspot won't accept it... sorry.
We had a talk with her about, where we could do the different interviews and she will provide us with contacts. Also we discussed the exhibition and have now decided to move from the bridge idea to the Spanish Square, since this is where the town is divided. (Not the river, as we thought).
Before going for the concert we prepared the meeting with Valentina, went for a döner and showed up at the youth centre.
The concert was delayed, so we did not have to pay to get in first. We went straight to the bar ordered 4 beers and paid 20 kr. WOW it is cheep here… the guys are going crazy. We were drinking beer, mingling and waiting for the band to start, but they did not show up. Apparently the Croatian band had been hold back at the boarder to Bosnia, though they had papers and passports. It is very hard in general to cross the boarders here and maybe with their alternative style, they had looked more suspect? Anyway, the band showed up, but too late and the concert was cancelled. The guys tried to make them play the day after at 10pm, but didn’t succeed. They got some demos though.
We ended the night with beer and chips on a bench in the empty town all viewing the highlighted old bridge.
Great day with a lot of new impression, new people and input.
Song of the day: “I’m singing in the rain!” - and it looks like we are going to sing for a long time.
Learning of the day: Every time you order regular coffee and explaining “big coffee, not only espresso, also a lot of water” they say “year, year” and you get an espresso with a BIG glass of cold water. We are really challenging our stomachs…

Day 2
First morning in the town of Mostar after the first sleep. Very nice atmosphere in the room, a good morning smile on all lips and a strange attempt on the creation of coffee. Without the right equipment coffee isn’t the most easy drink to brew. Just to inform you. This day was meant to be the day of getting practicality in order. But the second of May is apparently a holiday in Bosnia. We found out by continuously running into closed shops. So we still have practicalities to do tomorrow. Instead we went to see the youth house here in Mostar. By coincident we ran into one of our contacts, Sanel. He showed us around at the youth house and asked into our project. We had a good connection and he is willing to help us further. All so the youth house has many visible wounds from the war like the rest of the town. Many many bullet holes in nearly every wall. Still the atmosphere around it was amazing. smiling and happy people coming and going. We were introduced to a very sweet woman working as the leader of the youth house, Maja was her name. We had a very good chat with her and walked out of there with a new office. Things are running smoothly down here, we now have a place to live and a place to work. tomorrow is the big day were we’ll meet with our contact from the Center of democracy,Jlenia. It will take place at 16.30 so cross your fingers :o)
Further more we have signed a contract with the main library of Aarhus and posted it. It says on the postbox “15.00 sati” witch we don’t know what means. maybe -they empty it every day at 15.00, or every saturday at 15.00. So it will be exiting to see when Marie Louise from the library receives it. Now when I’m writing about contracts the one we made with Vejle municipality should be in place at the school back in Mejlgade.
We are doing good and are about to cook salmon for dinner. The plan is a nice evening here in our “cosy-camping-cabin”

Arrival in Mostar
After a long journey from århus to CPH to sarajevo to Mostar we finally got settled in our apartment. We went from Sarajevo to Mostar by car and that drive was surprisingly amazing! I can’t describe what i had expected but what we saw was not expected. This country has fantastic nature. mountains covered with green trees and rivers running between the mountain chains. Old bridges crossing rivers and combining roads. Absolutely amazing!
Our driver lived up to our expectations, he went extremely fast through the turns of narrow roads. No seat belts and a very active horn that got honked if the smallest chance occurred. Never the less we got here in one piece and invited the driver up for dinner. He was a nice man that told us a lot of the history of bosnia. And what a History!
KP-on the road
The Bosnia task force hits the road.
It is now 8.02 tuesday morning. The group is together in the train on our way to Copenhagen and from there to Sarajevo. We started out with a hectic start at 05.30 at Århus main station. Our beloved team member Hedvig overslept. She woke up at 05.30 were we where suppose to meet. The train departed 05.48, the situation was as taken out of a movie when Hedvig came running and caught the train in the absolutely last possible second. Then we forgot to stamp the tickets and had to sweet talk the DSB lady. Everything is now in the right order and the trip has started! Anders is making music, Hedvig and Nanna are sleeping. The time is 08.07 and Mostar is waiting.

Entering the last week in Denmark
Final week of preparation, for the “Picture your future” tour anno 07, has started.
Yesterday was a day that you in a way can define as “the day of no return”. Nothing could go wrong( no matter we just got a deny on sponsor funds from Jyske Bank) We have the flight tickets, we have a place to live in Mostar and we definitely start feeling the excitement in our stomachs and chests. Yesterday we also recieved the final approval of our synopsis by Kasper Arentoft, Team-manager, Team 13, which means that we have fully acceptance on our project from the Kaospilots behalf. Monday we delivered the first edition of the synopsis. We got it back yesterday afternoon with only a few practical adjustments needed, and then yesterday late night we got the final approval..yeah yeah yeah..
Monday evening we went to Paradis Cinema and saw the highly recommended movie “Sarajevo, håbets sang”. In short terms the movie was about a teenage daughter, having a hard time adapting herself into the surroundings and society, and her war-traumatic mother filled up with unpleasant memories that is playing a big part in her mind. It was a very good movie, no argue about that, but it was also very miserable, but that actually engaged us even more to make a project about future perspectives and not looking back on the past full of war and destructions. What was really good about this movie, was that we really got a deeper insight in the world of Bosnia 10 years after the war. Furthermore it was very cool to hear the language and just in general get a better feeling about the environment down there.
“A little bonus in the end” Nanna’s dear beloved father have arranged that we can borrow 4 digital cameraes. We hereby give him a big thanks..
The next couple of days, we will be very busy with the admission workshop for the new team 14. 77 applicants are participating and will go trough an intense workshop and end up by being only 33 for the next team at the Kaospilots, Team 14.
Best regards from the “picture your future” gang.

Project desciption
We are 4 students from the KaosPilot School ( Private university for entrepreneur of social innovation, creative business design and project/process management) located in Århus, Denmark.
We are going to have our project management exam in the month of May. We have chosen to put our focus on the youth in Bosnia and their identity.
We will arrive 2. of May and depature to Denmark again the 28. of May. We will have our base in Mostar but will work in other regions of Bosnia as well.
We wish with this project to let the youth focus on hopes and dreams in serious future perspectives. We want them to build on what they are good at, increase their motivation and engage them to take choices and ownership in there own lives, that will benefit them a lot later on.
Otherwise we want together with the youth to research on educational needs and youth related culture.
We want to put the focus on future perspectives and not look at the past.
Bosnia is in Scandinavia often related with the war, even though it ended more than 10 years ago.
We want to change the picture and make Scandinavia and hopefully the rest of Europe combine Bosnia with development and growth instead of war and destruction.
We will work with a groupe of 60 youngsters from UWC high schools in Mostar. Through photos and interviews from their daily life, education and interests they will give their country and Scandinavia a picture of, who they are and what Bosnia is right now.
The project contains several parts.
It is going to start with a preparation workshop, where youth with different cultural and religious background will meet. Here we will facilitate a process that will lead to the headlines for the end product, interviews of youngsters in Mostar and a photo exhibition based on the results. The reason why we use this approach is that, only the youth in Bosnia know what is important for them. We from Scandinavia will set the frames that are needed, for the end product to be as profound as possible.
There will be certain frames, such as that the workshop will be about the future, hope, education and work possibilities and the identity of the youth.
After the preparation workshop some of the youths will be equipped with a camera and through interviews and pictures they will describe the headlines from the workshop and also new headlines that the interview creates.
An hopefully we will be able to raise economical founding to bring some of the youngsters with us on the trip, and let them work as photo-rapporters of other areas in bosnia still within the topic Youth & Identity
The project ends with an exhibition of the pictures the Bosnian youth has taken. In Denmark we have a lot of agreements settled already for exhibitions. In Bosnia we would like to have it in different youth houses and public places, we are working with the democracy office on making it on the bridge in Mostar.
We are in cooporation with Vejle Municipality, Denmark, who is making a rapport for the Foreign Ministry of Denmark and the democracy office in Mostar on education in Mostar and Jablanica.
Apart from the 4 of us from the KaosPilot we will have a professional photographer with us that will document the entire project and will be at help when it comes to technical challenges, give the young people a crash course in photography and interview techniques and help with the exhibition.

Application workshop is taking alot of time
The whole day has been set of for preparation of the application work shop, and that demands a lot of energy and time...
We desided to work on our own today, going through the different questions in the synopsis.
We are at a point right now where we have done alot, have a million contacts, the project is possible, but we still need a final touch for it to be great... like 50.000 kr from Jyske Bank.
We have heard from Democracy office in Mostar, who would love to work with us and help finding the best place for the exhibition on the 25th of May (if possible), also our contact Klavs Vedel payed off, he knows a local who can set us up with the "under ground".
Otherwise there is not much to tell from today... Oh yes, Hanne has changes her traveling plans and will join us from the 4th till the 21st of May so she will have time in DK to finish her project.
And by the way we have change the name of the project til: PICTURE YOUR FUTURE...

The blog is born!
The day where the Blog was born and and the diary began. It’s Wednesday today and we began work late due to our commitment to the admission workshop we are preparing.
Our tickets are in place and we are ready to leave!
The Work to day was about brainstorming and looking into the Synopsis we have to turn in before leaving. We have working on defining our Concept, Values, partners etc. and the result will be showed when it’s settled. Further more we’ve send mails to “the office for Democracy” a youth house in Jablanica, Valentina from the uwc in Mostar. Students from team 12 have been informed and so have the staff.
We have been contacted by Tom Nørgaard who is working on Politikens “turen går til” and he was interested in our project and might make an article about it. Further more we got contacted by Klaus Vedl who could give us a network of journalists and “underground” contacts in Mostar. We appreciate of course both of these opportunities a lot and responds has already been taken. Later we had a nice diner at Nannas place and Hanne the Photographer came by. Pictures of the group was taken and the blog was created. The wine is running out witch also means that it’s time to go home to sleep. That will be the end of the Blogs birthday!
