Around 90 participants\u2014children, youth (high school and university student volunteers), and older adults from healthy aging centers\u2014gathered to learn from one another and build bridges of understanding between generations through play and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event was jointly organized by the Association for Addiction Prevention <em>NARKO-NE<\/em>, the organization <em>Srce za bli\u017enje <\/em>(A Heart for Others), and the <em>Older Brother, Older Sister <\/em>Foundation, with the aim of encouraging mutual care, respect, and cooperation between the youngest and oldest members of the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program included seven interactive games spread across different stations, with mixed participant groups rotating through them. Each group consisted of children, youth, and older adults, and every game was carefully designed to encourage collaboration, develop creativity, and promote mutual respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants played blindfolded, drew pictures with their fingers on each other\u2019s backs without using any tools, threw paper airplanes, knocked down cups, and much more\u2014but winning wasn\u2019t the goal. What mattered more were the smiles, the laughter, the encouragement, and the support they shared with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every activity served as a reminder of the importance of paying attention to others. What made this event truly special was the sense of unity and equality. There were no losers. Participation was more important than competition, and everyone contributed to the positive atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The atmosphere was filled with joy and connection, especially felt by the older participants, who shared some of their impressions: <em>I felt just like a child again<\/em>, <em>Children give us strength, they make us feel young again\u2014it was truly wonderful<\/em>, <em>We were so happy, it reminded us of our childhood<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gathering concluded with a shared lunch, filled with smiles, warmth, and mutual appreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a time when different generations are often distanced from one another, events like this serve as a reminder of the value of closeness, empathy, and solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azra Halilovi\u0107<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-id=\"5926\" src=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5457.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5457.jpg 800w, https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5457-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5457-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-id=\"5923\" src=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5479.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5479.jpg 800w, https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5479-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5479-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-id=\"5924\" src=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5489.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5489.jpg 800w, https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5489-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5489-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-id=\"5925\" src=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5490.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5490.jpg 800w, https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5490-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5490-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"5928\" src=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5515.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5515.jpg 533w, https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5515-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"533\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"5927\" src=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5540.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5540.jpg 533w, https:\/\/prevencija.ba\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5540-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 24, 2025, a unique event dedicated to promoting intergenerational solidarity and unity was held at the Safet Zajko Center for Education, Sports and Recreation in Sarajevo.
