Fondacija Meri Vord Loreto (Albanija)
Fondacija Meri Vord Loreto (Albanija) je organizacija koja ima za cilj da iskoreni trgovinu ljudima koja podržava ljude da ostvare svoj puni potencijal. Mi se bavimo pitanjima zajednice kroz davanje nade kroz snažno zagovaranje, direktne usluge, ali i kroz primenu metodologija građanskog angažovanja. Čvrsto verujemo da se dugoročna promena može ostvariti samo kada sami članovi zajednice postanu nosioci promena. Isto tako, proces dalje demokratizacije javnih institucija može se ostvariti samo kroz zalaganje i aktivno učešće mladih i javnih službenika u ovoj demokratizaciji. Preduzimamo dalji rad na postizanju trajnih sistemskih promena kroz niz projekata „servisnog učenja“. Servisno učenje je pristup koji osposobljava mlade pojedince osnovnim međuljudskim i građanskim veštinama kroz učešće u obuci i primenu u svakodnevnom životu.

Međunarodno udruženje “Interaktivne otvorene škole” – MIOS (Bosnia i Hercegovina)
Međunarodna asocijacija „Interaktivne otvorene škole“ od svog osnivanja podržava škole, nastavnike i druge zainteresovane strane u njihovim naporima da transformišu obrazovni proces u efikasno okruženje za učenje i podučavanje sa decom u centru aktivnosti. Počeli smo sa radom 2004. godine voljom nastavnika iz Bosne i Hercegovine, Hrvatske i Srbije i naši prvi koraci bili su oko interkulturalnosti i kohezije između nastavnika iz tri zemlje. Naš primarni fokus je na procesu nastave i učenja u školi, i kako ovaj proces može biti iskustven, angažujući za decu (učenike) i uticajan na njihov holistički razvoj. Nudimo raznovrsnu obuku za nastavnike, menadžment škole, roditeljsku zajednicu u školi i lokalnu zajednicu (partnerstvo sa školom) širom Bosne i Hercegovine i šire. Takođe nudimo događaje umrežavanja, konsultantske usluge i drugu podršku školama. U suštini, mi promovišemo vrednosti participativne demokratije, inkluzije, različitosti, kreativnosti, a pristupi i metode podučavanja koje nudimo odražavaju ove vrednosti. Na primer, nudimo obuku o kooperativnom učenju, učenju zasnovanom na projektima, uslužnom učenju – metode koje podržavaju veliko učešće/angažovanost, ko-kreaciju i povezivanje.
Pedagogija uslužnog učenja nudi duboko i efektno iskustvo učenja za učenike, nastavnike i zajednicu, stoga je promovišemo i aktivno širimo u Bosni i Hercegovini od 2009. godine. Preko 100 škola i 1000 nastavnika učestvovalo je u našem programu Service-Learning – učenje kroz angažman.
