Hello from the Spark team

We are excited that you are interested in joining our project created for high school students (aged 14-18) who live in Bujanovac, Presevo and Novi Pazar.

This is a free training programme in which you will learn from professionals over a period of 10 Saturdays (from December – March) about:

  • creating social media campaigns, and
  • project development & management

But not just that. We will support teams with good project ideas that are important to you and your community:

  • by financing your mini projects and
  •  through support from trainers-mentors (from April – June)

In June, we will choose the most successful teams who will get the opportunity to visit Northern Ireland during the summer.

All participants who complete the Spark programme will receive completion certificates.

The British Council has engaged experienced trainers from all parts of Serbia to take you through this process.

Every Saturday from 11.00 to 15.00 there will be sessions on social media campaigns and project development and management.

The first session will be on Saturday 14 December starting at 11.00.

Please register by Sunday 8 December. The deadline for Novi Pazar and Bujanovac has been extended until Wednesday, December 11 at 12.00. We can admit only 150 participants in total.

In the Registration Form at this link we ask you why you are interested in participating in this project – we challenge you to complete the form in English but feel free to complete it in your mother tongue.

See you soon in Novi Pazar, Bujanovac or Presevo!
