Centar ZA Razvoj Obrazovnih I Kulturnih Resursa

Centar ZA Razvoj Obrazovnih I Kulturnih Resursa is a foreign-owned, non-profit organization based in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, registered in the U.S. government's System for Award Management (SAM) since July 2018. The organization focuses on educational and cultural development resources, with a primary emphasis on promoting social cohesion, intercultural understanding, and educational innovation. While specific details about the organization's internal structure are limited, its consistent engagement with the U.S. Department of State suggests a strategic approach to cross-cultural educational programming and youth development initiatives.

The organization has consistently received federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, primarily focusing on cooperative agreements and project grants aimed at fostering inter-ethnic understanding and educational development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These grants, totaling approximately $450,000, have supported intensive afterschool English language programs that bring together high school students from diverse ethnic, religious, and economic backgrounds. The grants include specific projects such as creating English language programs that promote tolerance, providing teacher training in educational innovation, developing arts education curricula, and facilitating exchanges with U.S. universities. Notable grant awards include multi-year cooperative agreements (SBK80024CA0155, SBK80023CA0063, SBK80022CA0115) that support youth engagement programs, and project grants (SBK80021GR3013, SBK80020GR0078) focused on teacher training and educational resources development. These awards consistently align with the U.S. State Department's public diplomacy programs under the Assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia (AEECA) framework, with a clear goal of building social cohesion through educational interventions.
