Zeleni BILTEN
Predstavljamo prva tri broja biltena pod nazivom „Zeleni BILTEN“, koji su dio istoimenog projekta čiji je primarni cilj jačanje svijesti o značaju zaštite okoliša, transparentnost i lakše dostupnost informacija široj javnosti, a sve u cilju poticanja prepoznavanja vlastite uloge građana i mogućnosti uključivanja i djelovanja po pitanju zaštite okoliša.
Projekat je osmišljen za podizanje javne svijesti putem diseminacije znanja i informacija po pitanju zaštite okoliša putem elektronskog ZELENOG biltena. Za elektronsko izdanje ZELENOG Biltena odlučili smo se zbog smanjene produkcije otpada u odnosu na printana izdanja – izostanak papirnog otpada i široki spektar distribucije (razni web portali, direktno slanje putem mail-a, brža distribucija i dr.).
Sadržaj ZELENOG Biltena obuhvata široku lepezu informacija kao što su: promocije raznih okolinskih projekata koji se provode na teritoriji FBiH, nove usvojene propise, zanimljivosti i događaje po pitanju zaštite okoliša za dati period, aktuelnostima iz regije i svijeta, intervjui i sl., tako da će veliki broj građana dobiti veliki broj informacija o zaštiti okoliša i načinu provođenja mjera zaštite okoliša.
Osim lokalnih kontakata i predstavljanja aktivnosti i problemate koja odražava trenutno stanje u Federaciji BiH, kroz ZELENI Bilten će se predstavljati i trenutne aktivnosti i problematiku u regiji i svijetu.
Projekat „Zeleni BILTEN“ sufinansira Fond za zaštitu okoliša FBIH, a implementira REIC – Regionalni centar za obrazovanje i informisanje, Sarajevo.

Open call for companies to apply for CIRCULAR TRANSITION SUPPORT
CIRCULAR ECONOMY Beacons represent a circular innovation in the Balkan eco-system built around expertise and high-quality implementation. CE BEACONS’ main orientation for the coming years is – systemic business support.
What do we search for?
We search for companies that have recognized mainly (excess) material or energy-related challenges in their processes, business systems, and/or supply chains. We search for companies that do not know how their products end up after being disposed of and assess if they could still re-use the products, components, or materials for the same or other purposes. We also search for companies that are willing to innovate and differentiate in the market, conducting business responsibly following the principles of a carbon-neutral circular economy. Furthermore, we see that we can help innovative companies or organizations that have been recognized as a waste/material-related gap in the market and have an almost go-to-market solution. Finally, we would like to meet companies that are ready to co-invest in the process with 25% of the total cost of the process (approximated 2,000-5,000 €, depending on the complexity of the challenge). This process should be finalized by the end of 2022.
What do we offer?
We offer answers to the following questions:
• Where to start in CE transition?
• What do you need to know about your value chain to benchmark your CE position?
• What and how should you use the tools to navigate through the CE transition/transformation?
• What do you need to change in the business (from the lifecycle perspective) to achieve a future-fit business?
• What capacities should you build to sustain changes?
• What do I have to take care of from the external environment to successfully market new products or services?
• What would be the first pilot initiative I could do to become more circular in a systemic way?
• What is my 5-10 year prospect in circular development?
We finally offer you a place in our network where cutting-edge technologies, novel solutions, and the latest insights related to circular economy innovation will pass through.
All this is designed to systemically help you in the transition towards a carbon-neutral circular business.

OPEN CALL: Urban Advisors for Spatial Justice (International Training for Urban Advisors in Vienna September 7-9th 2022)
About the Project:
The overall goal of the ‘Spatial Justice’ is to engage, empower and enable youth, to lead sustainable actions in the process of transformation of peripheral areas into liveable areas through sharing good practices, innovative tools, and methods. Through the consortium of 6 partners from 5 countries in Western Balkans and EU, there will be mediums and opportunities to exchange experiences and knowledge, and on a longer term, create grounds for future initiatives and collaborations. The indicated set of activities are tailored to deliver a concrete impact from the perspective of youth workers, urban advisors as well as youths from peripheral areas for the purposes of ensuring them a greater inclusion in the informal settlement upgrading process through the development of new innovative urban games.
The project aims to identify young professionals in each country that through a consistent engagement, will become key actors in their local environments, become URBAN ADVISORS. Each organization of the consortium will select 4 urban advisors, who will be part of the entire process. Urban Advisors from each country will be engaged in exchanging good practices from program countries in the urban design, revitalization of peripheral areas, advocacy, and participation for peripheral revitalization. The methodology used during the training events will be non-formal training method, study visit, exchange of best practices.
The main objectives are:
- Development of high-quality profiles of urban advisors with the acquisition of capacities to engage a transversal audience of targets (young people living in peripheral areas) in a differentiated programme practice providing urban enhancement methods and the development of skills with a transversal relevance in all dimensions of life.
- Acquisition of practical experience and measurable results in the use of urban gamification as a tool of work with young people.
- Motivation to cooperate with the consortium in further follow-up of the project at the local or European levels.
More on International Training Course
The journey of these Urban Advisors will start by an international training taking place in Vienna, aiming at empowering youth workers, potential urban advisors with competencies related to empowering and engaging rural youth in scaling up upgrading of peripheral areas through bottom-up process.
During the international event, the young urban advisors will provide additional inputs on the design of the gamification tool. They will be the coaches that will lead the activities involving youth in suburban and peripheral areas. The international training will be a 3 full day program, taking place on September 6-10th, 2022 (including travelling days), which will be organized by Wonderland – Platform for European Architecture.
Costs of travel and full board for 4 participants from Bosnia and Herzegovina will be covered by REIC, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Participants are responsible for covering the costs of necessary documents following the Covid-19 restrictions.

The overall goal of the project is engaging, empowering and enabling youth, to lead sustainable actions in the process of transformation of peripheral areas into liveable areas through sharing good practices, innovative tools, and methods.
In the scope of the project, partners conducted research resulting in various case studies and all of them are available at the www.spatialjustice.eu web site and direct LINK.
The closure of EduFootprint PLUS
Today we are closing our 18 months long project, that was implemented under Interreg MED Programme, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund, and implemented in the cooperation with pur project partners:
Institute for Innovation and Development of University of Ljubljana, Slovenia
Ambiente Italia srl, Italy
Local Energy Agency of Gorenjska, Slovenia
CONSORTIUM OLTREPÓ MANTOVANO, Italy
Regional Energy Agency North, Croatia.
The main aim of the project was to enhance the capacity of public authorities to calculate environmental footprint of activities in its buildings. This was done by using simplified life cycle approach identifying significant impact areas, and then improve users’ behaviours to reduce the overall footprint, through the transferring and capitalisation of EduFootprint project’s final products: calculator and APP.
REIC was responsible for fostering of EduFootprint methodology and approach at regional level, to cover territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania, engaging APs from each country: Sarajevo Economic Region Development Agency SERDA, Bosnia and Herzegovina, City of Mostar from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Municipality of Tirana from Albania, Old Royal Capital Cetinje from Montenegro. REIC organized webinars for APs in order to promote the project, to present the methodology and tools and foster its application at regional level. APs were involved in Final Conference in Italy, declaring the support to EduFootprint project through MoU signatory.
Not only the APS from region were involved in the project activities implementation, but the preliminary analyses of receivers’ contests and needs included survey which has been conducted in BiH, Montenegro and Albania, thus providing data to cover larger territory.
Institute of Blood Transfusion Sarajevo was the pilot building for testing the tools and applying the methodology. After the data collection, the calculator was completed; based on the results and in cooperation with the Institute representative the Improvement plan was produced. The complete methodology and the results of tools application were shared during the final conference in Mantova and final project presentation in Sarajevo, in June 2022.The representatives of the pilot building has been participating in the event in Sarajevo and further steps, after project closure has been agreed.
In order to involve larger audience, all material produced during the project: calculator, app, improvement plan, edu-kit, 15 video pills and 4 webinars, were translated to Bosnian and distributed among the audience. It will be also available through REIC pages. Considering the fact that REIC is educational and informational center, which organizes events and summer-schools tackling the same issues, we see a lot of opportunities to share the project results and introduce the tools to wider audience in future.
The final project presentation event, held in Sarajevo on June 10th 2022, was organized additionally to involve larger audience, targeting at public institution representatives, dealing with a building’s efficiency and footprint. The event attended representatives of 17 institutions, and resulted in arrangement of future presentation of the project within the institutions and potential future cooperation. The participation of the PPs in the event added a special significance.
REIC will continue to work on fostering the EduFootprint approach and methodology even beyond the end of the project, since it will contribute to our mission and promotion of good practices in the field of sustainable development.
On this occasion, we would like to thank to Interreg MED to make it possible, to all of our project partners for excellent cooperation during this challenging period, to all of associated project partners for the support their provided, as well as to all of the public and local authorities that took a part in the project.
