About SHL House

Our training centre in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

The SHL House is an educational center that provides accommodation and living space for young people aged 14 to 30. The house also hosts seminars, trainings, workshops, and other forms of non-formal education.

The SHL House, which was opened in 1999 in Sarajevo, was built by German secondary school students with the aim of offering young people from Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as from abroad, a neutral place for learning and exchange – regardless of ethnic, religious, gender, or any other affiliation.

In addition to the Schüler Helfen Leben foundation’s educational programs held at the SHL House, the seminar facility can also be used by other NGOs and youth groups for their activities!

The financial participation generated by the SHL House is reinvested into youth projects of the Schüler Helfen Leben foundation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
