Deputy Mayor Džehevrović hosted students of the Gazi Husrev-bey Madrasa at Sarajevo City Hall

As part of their planned extracurricular activities, students of the Gazi Husrev-bey Madrasa visited the Sarajevo City Hall (Vijećnica), one of the most significant symbols of the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This visit, organized in two sessions, provided students with a unique opportunity to learn about the historical, cultural, and administrative significance of this architectural gem.

The host of the second visit was the Deputy Mayor, Mirela Džehverović, PhD. During the cordial meeting, Dr. Džehverović introduced the students to the role of the City Council and the internal organization of the City Administration. She placed special emphasis on the importance of continuous education and lifelong learning, encouraging the young guests to build their future and contribute to society through knowledge and hard work.

“It is a great pleasure to host the students of the Gazi Husrev-bey Madrasa—young people who are the guardians of our tradition, but also the bearers of future development. Today, we discussed how the city administration functions, but my key message to them is to never stop learning. Continuous education and self-improvement are the only paths to true success. Only through knowledge and personal effort can you build a better future for yourselves and contribute to the society you live in,” stated Džehverović.

With expert guidance and discussions with the staff of the Information Centre, the students had the opportunity to tour several museum exhibitions within the City Hall, including the Sarajevo Former Mayors Room, the Ceremonial Hall, Hague Courtroom No. 2, and the permanent museum exhibition of Vijećnica.

This educational tour concluded in the beautiful ambiance of this “architectural beauty” with mutual expressions of gratitude and a shared desire for continued cooperation. It was specifically highlighted that both visits by the Madrasa students were organized and successfully realized thanks to the selfless dedication and efforts of psychology professor Edina Sokolović-Lazović.

The departure from the City Hall was marked by a joint message on the importance of preserving cultural heritage and a promise that the students would soon return to this true pearl of our city.
