Through a five-year long partnership with a group of young women in Bosnia & Herzegovina, we have contributed to and observed the development of Arheon BiH. In collaboration with these stakeholders, we are building a tourism stream to the country to generate revenue. These profits will be redirected to create new business & job opportunities for local youth.
In further assistance to local youth, we are working on a project to connect youth globally, specifically in regards to our youth internship in the United States.
Arheon BiH is a cultural preservation organization that works with government entities to preserve monuments and historical sites within Bosnia & Herzegovina. Stone & Compass has provided both monetary donations to Archeon as well as support to make cross cultural connections with other NGO organizations in the Balkans.
Help us in our mission to connect people and cultures by fostering friendships, ideas, and inspiration.
