From invitation letter to Stakeholders:

We believe that a strong connection between academia and industry is crucial for the growth and advancement of our field. It is in this spirit that we would like to propose a partnership between the Faculty of Architecture, University of Sarajevo and Stakeholders

We are interested in exploring opportunities for collaboration in the educational process, specifically in the areas of student apprenticeship and mentoring by Stakeholders, as well as curriculum development, guest lectures, workshops. This program would provide students with the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge in real-world scenarios, and develop valuable professional skills. We are confident that this experience would not only enhance their learning but also increase their employability upon graduation. This would also give insight into potential new talented employees. We are open to discussing the specifics of this proposed partnership and are flexible in accommodating the needs and requirements of Stakeholders. We believe that this collaboration would be mutually beneficial and would contribute significantly to the advancement of architectural education and practice.
