On October 29, 2018, in Sarajevo, the Etos Inicijativa (Ethos Initiative) program celebrated five years of successful work with the "Etos Inicijativa" conference. To mark the occasion, TPO Foundation announced a public call for artwork submissions from all students of elementary and secondary B&H schools that have been participating in the "Etos Inicijativa" educational programs. The call, titled "Living Values," required participants to creatively express their own reflections on human values. Every society creates its values, ​​and yet many present-day societies have not reached universal values, ​​such as the right to life and preservation of every individual's dignity, freedom, equality, social justice and others, have not yet been reached by a large number of societies today. A global society also needs global ethical values, as Hans Kung pointed out long ago. Along with the promoting universal values ​​for the global world, it is important not to forget one's local community, school, and family, because these are the environments in which values are built and lived. As responsible citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina it is important that we all actively participate in creating and promoting values ​​and promote participatory learning and inclusion. Through this public call, we asked children and young people, "What is the concept of LIVING VALUE, what values ​​we are living today, and how much are these values ​​devalued and abused?" What are the ways we can preserve and expand universal values ​​in our own communities?
"Living Values", received a total of 74 submissions, 54 of which were from primary school students and 20 of which were from secondary school students.
After the Jury reached an agreement on the following criteria:
• Does the format of the work follow the contest guidelines?
