The Future Entrepreneurs of the World (FEW- BiH) high school student club and extracurricular activity initiative in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The FEW-BiH is an extracurricular student activity organization to inspire innovative entrepreneurship, offer leadership learning opportunities, develop ethical business skills, stimulate local economic development, and connect great traditions with a prosperous and generous future.
With the leadership of a teacher mentor, FEW-BiH student clubs are already successfully working in high schools of Tuzla, Maglaj and Breza. Recently, six more high schools joined.
The Forerunner Federation was proud to initiate and continues its financial support of the Future Entrepreneurs of the World (FEW- BiH) program.
Participation of further high schools is invited. Interested schools should contact Amila Hasanspahic FEW-BiH Program Coordinator for the Balkans at the address of the Forerunner Federation.
The first FEW club was launched in Behram-begova medresa, a high school in the city of Tuzla,
North East Bosnia and Herzegovina in October 2016. It soon became very popular among
students and it already had 60 participants over two years.
The Gimnazija "Edhem Mulabdic" in Maglaj joined the FEW Program in November 2017. It
has 25 student members and it is a particularly active Club in the FEW Program. They chose
the name Innovation Generation for their Club, selected Club administrators and students
responsible for different aspects and chose the Club logo.
The Gimnazija "Muhsin Rizvić" in Breza joined the FEW Program in 2018. At the end of January, 30 students were recruited and the first meeting with students was in February. The students chose the name for the Club (Students’ Entrepreneurship) and were introduced with the goals of the Club and the activity Plan.
The Sredna škola “Ivo Andrić” Višegrad joined the FEW program in 2018. In addition to planning for the year, a visit is scheduled to the hydroelectric power plant "Višegrad" and to the radio "Višegrad."
The FEW club was launched in 2018. Among the plans are discussions about "How to start at a younger age? Examples of teenagers' business ideas that have grown into successful jobs" and a visit to a local charitable association that helps people in distress.
The recently joined Druga srednja škola Velika Kladuša already reported that local business entities (producers, traders, caterers, etc.) are interested in cooperating with the school in supporting the club.
The “Szekely Forerunner Research Fellowship”program supports talented people from the Székelyland and also from the broader Transylvania region to pursue art and science studies at a university or postgraduate training at a research institution of their choice. Applicants admitted as a full-time degree seeking university students or mentored at an institution of scholarly research are eligible.
In case of sufficient number of qualifying candidates, the Foundation plans to award 6-8 Székely Forerunner Fellowships this year.
The total amount of Székely Forerunner Fellowship grant per recipient is up to $1000 US dollars.
