The project Homage to BiH women

The project Homage to BiH women and their achievements is a project that was created in the co-operation between the CURE Foundation and the TAKO Association from Sarajevo. In 2019, it is supported by the Tourism Association of Sarajevo Canton.

The aim of the Project is to present the women who, through their work, scientific and cultural achievements, contributed to the development of BiH society in an innovative way. The Project resulted in the biographies of 13 scientists and cultural professionals from the Sarajevo area in whose memory the two unique ceramic mosaics and mobile application were made. Pupils of Druga gimnazija Sarajevo participated in the making of the commemorative plaques, and on this occasion they enriched their knowledge and skills in a unique and creative way.
