On the premises of the Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Jovana Hadžić, master of psychology and founder of SportUm, former athlete and coach, and today a professional, sports psychologist, held a lecture dedicated to improving the mental health of young people. The goal of this education was to raise awareness of the importance of mental health care among young people, with a special emphasis on providing concrete tools and strategies for overcoming stress, anxiety and depression.
Education represented an opportunity for young people to gain a deeper understanding of their own mental health and to strengthen their emotional capacities. Jovana Hadžić shared professional knowledge and provided useful guidelines so that young people could develop their skills to face the challenges of modern life. Through this education, foundations were created for young, emotionally resilient individuals who are ready to face challenges with a positive attitude.
As in everything, the state of the psyche plays a key role in sports as it can determine the difference between success and failure, shaping the athlete's ability to face challenges, maintain focus and use their full potential.
"It's very important to separate the popular psychology of learning and sports psychology, which is based on techniques. People in popular psychologies think that positive thinking can lead to the best mental state, but it's all much deeper and sometimes that way you can go on the wrong side , go to the extreme and then disappointment comes again. On the other hand, it is the techniques that have a significantly greater impact. In the end, I would say that the first and most important thing in sport is to enjoy and love what you do, and then anything is possible put it in its place," stated Jovana Hadžić.
We continue our dedicated work on improving the well-being of young people and promoting a healthy life in our community!
The Society for Medical and Biological Engineering in Bosnia and Herzegovina (DMBIUBIH), with the support of the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports, has successfully implemented the "Young Ambassadors of Science" project. The project involved high schools from all cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, providing young people with an exceptional opportunity for deeper engagement in the world of science, research, and project planning. It is important to note that seven teams of talented students actively presented their innovative project ideas, sharing their vision for a better future. This process not only stimulated their creativity but also allowed the expression of their unique perspectives and contributions to the improvement of scientific understanding in the local community.
We would like to extend special congratulations to the winning teams, the first and second-placed teams from the Stolac High School, and the third-placed team from the Gymnasium Bihać. Their project proposals, with their innovation and ideas for a better future, have earned them the title of the best. These teams demonstrated exceptional talent and dedication, and their work stands out as a source of inspiration for future generations of young scientists.
We highlight the impressions of the members of the winning teams and express our gratitude to them for their dedicated work and innovative ideas.
"First of all, I would like to thank the Society for Medical and Biological Engineering in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the opportunity provided to us and the motivation that actually brought us here today and led us to win first place. On behalf of the whole team, I would like to thank our mentor, Prof. Damir Jurica, and our pedagogue, Suzana Perić, who accompanied us to Sarajevo to present our project proposal. Through this project, we learned how to improve the development and growth, not only of the school but also of the local community," said a member of the winning team, Juraj Previšić, a student of Stolac High School.
"I would like to express my thanks on behalf of the Bihać Gymnasium to the Society for Medical and Biological Engineering in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the opportunity to participate in this project. My team is grateful for their education on how to write project proposals and the organization of competitions for high schools in all cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the Una-Sana Canton. Due to participation in this project, we have learned a lot, from teamwork skills, writing project proposals to presenting our own ideas and the responsibility that comes with it," emphasized a student of the Bihać Gymnasium and a member of the third-placed team.
We extend our thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the project. We want to express our gratitude to the organizers of BH Engineering Week, Radio Kameleon, and all members of the expert jury who selected the best among the best.
We continue to work together to shape a motivating scientific perspective for future generations, simultaneously promoting science among young people!
In order to encourage women to take the initiative in science and the business world, the Society for Medical and Biological Engineering in Bosnia and Herzegovina (DMBIUBIH) recently organized a series of workshops called "Strengthening the Competences of Women Through Science". These workshops aimed to create an inspiring environment, exchange experiences and encourage women to actively get involved in project management.
On the first day, 14/11/2023, the focus was on project management. The participants had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the rules of writing project applications and analyze concrete examples. The interactive parts of the workshop enabled the women not only to gain new knowledge about project management, but also to exchange experiences, build professional connections and support each other in further career development.
The second day of the workshops, November 15, 2023, was dedicated to the inspiring life stories of three extremely successful women: Senita Slipac, Samira Ficić and Mersiha Mima Mehić. This motivational session was designed to give the participants an insight into the challenges and ups and downs these women have experienced in the world of science and business. The goal was to encourage women to recognize their potential, take initiative and achieve their goals.
The project "Strengthening the Competences of Women Through Science", which was financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Science, not only provided the participants with useful skills in project management, but also expanded their network of professional contacts and motivated them for further professional development.
DMBIUBIH continues its dedicated work to support women in the scientific and business sectors, encouraging their active role and contribution in these important areas.
Društvo za medicinski i biološki inžinjering u Bosni i Hercegovini (DMBIUBIH) sa zadovoljstvom predstavlja da je u toku realizacija projekta pod nazivom "Mladi ambasadori nauke", podržanog od strane Federalnog ministarstva kulture i sporta.
Prošle godine je istoimeni projekat realizovan u srednjim školama Kantona Sarajevo, a ove godine nastavljamo sa realizacijom u srednjim školama svih kantona u Federaciji Bosne i Hercegovine.
Cilj projekta "Mladi ambasadori nauke" jeste pružanje prilike srednjoškolcima da se približe konceptima nauke, istraživanja, te procesima stvaranja projektnih prijedloga. Fokus je stavljen na razumijevanje i primjenu istraživanja, kao i na sposobnost apliciranja za projekte s ciljem obezbjeđivanja finansijskih sredstava za inovativne poduhvate. Kroz obrazovne aktivnosti, seminare i treninge, planiramo obučiti mlade kako da iskoriste naučna saznanja u svrhu vlastitog obrazovanja i napredovanja, čime će postati konkurentni na tržištu rada.
Izuzetno smo zadovoljni i zahvalni što je Federalno ministarstvo kulture i sporta prepoznalo visok nivo kvaliteta projekta i pružilo mu svoju podršku.
Sve relevantne informacije o aktivnostima projekta mogu se pronaći na Facebook stranici Društva. Zahvaljujemo se svim učesnicima na podršci i angažmanu u ostvarivanju zajedničkog cilja – promociji nauke među mladima.
The Society for Medical and Biological Engineering in Bosnia and Herzegovina (DMBIUBIH) is pleased to announce the ongoing implementation of the project titled "Young Science Ambassadors," supported by the Federal Ministry of Culture and Sports.
Last year, this project was implemented in high schools in the Sarajevo Canton and this year we continue with its implementation in high schools across all cantons in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
