Cerebra

Cerebra is an NGO from Banja Luka, northern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was established by young people for young people.

“Cerebra” mainly works with youth although its target groups are older adults too. We organise seminars to provide opportunities for the youth to learn skills that are required on the labour market, we provide opportunities to our members to travel around the region and elsewhere in Europe. We believe that acquiring modern/transferable skills and gaining experience from their peers are the most important elements for one’s development in our rapidly changing world. Our activities are predominantly aimed at educational programmes and travelling opportunities.
