A bench for a kiss or a hug?

Youth Power, together with Be A Man Club members, celebrated Valentine’s day yesterday with citizens of Mostar. The main goal of this activity was to create a feeling of connection between people in the city and to celebrate the most beautiful emotion and that’s love. 

The activity started in late hours in “Lenjinovo šetalište” where volunteers set two different benches with two different meanings. One bench was reserved for a kiss and another one for a hug. Citizens of Mostar had opportunity to make the most beautiful memories with people they love using one of these benches. Our volunteers made sure that everyone who participated in our activity left with a smile and with one more memory.

The main message of this campaign was to celebrate love, the most beautiful emotion, not just on Valentine’s day but every day of your life. Every day should be filled with love towards others. 

Youth Power regularly celebrates Valentine’s Day with various street and online campaigns. This day carries a special message and meaning and we always try to remind people that we should love each other regardless of our differences.

The activity was implemented within the project Young Men Initiative III (YMI): “Promoting Healthier Lifestyles and Decrease of Interpersonal Violence among Youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina by Challenging Gender Stereotypes III“, supported by the Swiss Government, Oak Foundation, Austrian Development Agency and CARE International Bosnia and Herzegovina.
