Our sincere thanks to the three hundred students wrote essays and thirty students who created videos responding to the question: “How Can I Help Build a Better Bosnia and Herzegovina?” We were inspired by your ideas and we encourage all of you to remember what was a key theme in many entries: Change has to begin somewhere and one person can indeed make a difference. The winning entries below were selected by an Embassy panel as the best examples of students conveying in a powerful manner how they, themselves, can contribute to progress.
