During the trip the students got the opportunity to meet many professionals working in renowned organizations. These included meetings with the director of the Sarajevo Photography Festival, Mrs. Aida Redzepagic, who was very passionate about her work and inspired many of the students. Dr. Said Fazalagic, Secretary General of the National Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina gave us valuable insights into the organization and management of the national Olympic committee.
