"TUZLA LIVE" Association

In a society still damaged by social and economic effects of war, the "mission" of our organisation is to: - enable individuals (youth in particular) to have a chance to express and develop their creative, lifelong, entrepreneurial and social potentials; - spread awareness of and demand adequate responses to needs and potentials of our members, partners and local community members, from older generation and institutions/organizations within our system; - build, together with our partners, a culturally and economically richer and more diverse society for present and generations to come. We gather 213 members: young freelancers, entrepreneurs, academics and activists, artists, specialists/professionals and others aiming to become the above. Our activities and engagements are project-based and led by an experienced and expert team of eight (8) individuals. Project teams tend to re-form through time and adapting to needs/opportunities, but members always possess PhD, Masters and BSc/BA degrees and certificates in marketing, management, social-economic-natural sciences, arts and various craftsmanship. We rent our offices and have most of office and work equipment needed to implement our projects, as well as outsourced accountant. Our most prominent projects where: „BRDO“ Coworking Space, Community Creation Programme, Re:ACTIVate – Local music scene, „Creative Cluster“, OPTIONZ Fest, TUZLA LIVE Fest (Vote for Yourself, Do Not Let Others Vote For You), Artizans in Action, etc. Consequently, our activities and initiatives tackle issues surrounding unemployment, entrepreneurship, arts, non-formal education, etc. all predominantly targeting youth, women and other marginalized groups and populations. In 16 years of our existence and involvement in various project, our Association has developed a large network of partners and co-operants, both on local, regional and international level.
