Bridging the Divide

CBMitrovica is coordinating the project Bridging the Divide which brings together local CSOs in the north and south parts of Mitrovica.

The project was developed from the need to overcome the institutional and physical ethnic division that have kept Mitrovica at an impasse over the past decade. BtD is a result of the unique cooperation between the South Mitrovica-based CSO Community Building Mitrovica (‘CBM’), the newly established interethnic, bilingual multi-medium ‘M-M@G’, and a North Mitrovica coalition of 7 CSOs gathered in the Centre for Resources, Youth and Media (‘CRYM’), in order to directly address problems and opportunities related to infrastructure, media, civil society development, youth care and the lack of institutional and civil inter-ethnic cooperation across the divide which is considered as main barriers for overcoming the existing ethnic tensions.

Bridging the Divide brings together three different components: the Infrastructural Component; the Webzine M-M@G & Youth Portal (M-M@G); and Centre for Resources Youth and Media (CRYM).
