From 23rd to 28th July 2025, the city of Tuzla will host an international Erasmus+ training course titled “Whistleblower Protection & ICT Against Corruption”, bringing together youth workers, activists, and experts from over 10 European countries.

The training will take place at the Peace Flame House, covering the following topics:
