Who can attend MSYP?

MSYP is free to all and open to high school students aged 14-18. The program reserves a limited number of spaces for participants coming from outside of Mostar and the surrounding area, however we are unable to support participants with finding accommodation during the program.

Whilst many staff members are fluent in both BCS and English, the program is taught in English, taking a language ‘immersion’ approach in order to help participants gain confidence in their use of English language.
