It is almost the end of winter break and it is only now that I have realized that I did not post anything about my first term here. First term has been going by so quickly and so many wonderful things have happened, but it is hard to describe all that in a single blog post since I would not even know where to start. I will try to summarize it though, it has really been an adventure and I have met some of the most wonderful people I have ever met, I have encountered places so different from home and created memories that will stay with me forever. I am really happy in UWCiM and although first term also had it downsides I have never felt so alive like I have in Mostar, so I am excited about going back now in a week. Down below are some glimpses of first term, some blurred and others sharp, in a non-chronological order.

On project week in Skopje, Macedonia. Our project week was called ”The Framework of Comprehensive Crisis Management” and we went to Skopje and two cities in Kosovo, Mitrovica and the capital Pristina, to meet different organisations such as OSCE and EULLEX that work with crisis management within the country.
Inside Old Bank, a building that was supposed to become a bank but then the war started and it was used as a sniper tower instead. Now it’s abandoned but it’s full of beautiful street art. From the top of Old Bank the whole city of Mostar can be seen, it’s a fantastic view.
