THE ASSOCIATION “TUNEL”, KLJUC: WEAVING AND DECOUPAGE

One of fifteen associations supported by the project “Psychosocial support in Bosnia and Herzegovina” is the association for protection of mental health “Tunel” from Kljuc. The association “Tunel” is organizing a series of workshops of hand knitting garment, in which a volunteer of the association trains users. The workshop of decoupage techniques (painting items) also started, and there is a great interest of the members and volunteers of the association for this workshop. Two users of the association made a hand-made wooden machine for weaving (weaving loom), which will open up new opportunities and stimulate creative ideas for making handicrafts that can be created in

the association. New Year’s cards, which are made before the end of the year, were sold at a promotional street sale in the local community. In this way were acquired funds which will be used for new activities of the association.
In November 2014, the Association of unemployed and socially vulnerable citizens of the Una-Sana Canton from Bihac organized lecture on “Writing Curriculum Vitae – CV and Interview with the Employer” for unemployed young people and the families of users of the “Tunel”. The collaboration of these two associations is supported by the presence of manager of the Employment Bureau of Kljuc Municipality.
