A large number of students and professors of the International University of Sarajevo (IUS) expressed interest in participating in international exchange programs such as Erasmus +, Mevlana program and others. In this regard, the International Relations Office of IUS plans to organize a series of lectures in order to inform and provide adequate information to interested candidates for exchange. The first guest in this series of the lectures was Saša Kulukčija, Assistant at the European Union Info Centre (EUIC) in Sarajevo. The lecture on "EU Info Center and EU Youth Programmes" was held on Tuesday, March 24, 2015, in the main amphitheater of IUS.
Saša Kulukčija presented information about the Center during the lecture. The Center was established as part of the framework of the European Union whose primary goal is to inform citizens about the EU institutions and policies, relations between BiH and the EU, the process of integration and its impact on the country. After the presentation of the Centre and its main activities, Kulukčija presented to students the EU projects for exchange, possibilities of joining the European network of students, ways of how to volunteer and get cheaper travel opportunities for students through Europe. Kulukčija is a journalist by profession, who has years of experience in management and organization of projects for young people. He encouraged the students to seize their chance and use the offered opportunities for volunteering and practice.
"Travelling through Europe is an ideal opportunity for young people to expand their knowledge, and enrich their educational, linguistic and cultural experience by meeting their peers from other European countries" - said Kulukčija. At the end of the lecture, Saša offered to discuss further with the audience through question and answer session with all students who expressed a wish to learn more about the projects and opportunities offered to them.
