Meet our founders

Founded in 2004 by peacebuilders Vahidin Omanovic and Mevludin Rahmanovic, CIM is located in Sanski Most – the former front lines of the conflict in Northwest Bosnia. Even twenty years after the start of the war in Bosnia, deep physical and psychological divisions remain throughout society. Many Bosnian schools are ethnically segregated, and parents and family units who suffer from war-time trauma pass down negative stereotypes and perceived threats to the younger generation.

“When I came to the camp, and when we were sitting in that circle, everyone was getting to know each other, introducing ourselves, telling our names to each other. As much as we tried, in the beginning, it was significant when we heard another name that you had not heard before, if it was of a different nationality and ethnic group. However, as time went on, and how we went through some of these workshops, and as we got to know each other later, it was important who the person was. When we teamed up afterwards, it was more important how someone suited us and who he or she was as a person, not what his/her name was or where he/she came from. We had a common goal when we worked in the workshops that meant that everything disappeared which was between us at the beginning, and we worked for a common goal.”
