About the program: BOLD (BIH Omladinski Lideri, Bosnia and Herzegovina Young Leaders) Institute is an international exchange program sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Bosnia & Herzegovina, which brings the best and bright young professionals from BiH region to the U.S. The BOLD Fellowship consists of an academic residency hosted by UNO. This five-week intensive academic residency program takes place on the UNO campus, and introduces participants to a range of diverse cultures and opportunities within the context of U.S. civic engagement. Through the BOLD Institute on Civic Engagement at UNO, BOLD fellows will learn about the principles of democracy, diversity, and community service. Through experiential learning opportunities, fellows will develop leadership, communication, and team-building skills that will be used to enhance civic engagement in their communities, deepen bonds among ASEAN member-states, and reinforce ties between the U.S. and ASEAN. BOLD fellows will also have opportunities to interact with civic leaders from across the state and academic leaders from UNO. Fellows will also connect with UNO students from the U.S. and other countries through civic and cultural events. In addition, fellows will have time to explore the local area, participate in U.S. holidays and celebrations, and travel to historical sites throughout the Midwest. Fellows will also develop an Action Plan to implement in their home countries, and upon completion of the Action Plan, be eligible for funding opportunities through the BOLD alumni network (see the below information about the Action Plans). This panel is part of multiple activities and events that happen throughout omaha with specialty interest meetings. | ||
