The Association “C.E.K.O.R – Center for Ecology and Sustainable Development Kakanj” was founded in 2017 with the aim of promoting ecology, sustainable development, and active citizenship, especially among children and youth.

The main goal of the project “Hiking for Health” is to improve relationships among young people, strengthen teamwork and communication through spending time in nature, as well as to enhance their knowledge and skills in the fields of ecology, healthy lifestyles, and social responsibility.

The project “Hiking for Health” is being implemented from August 1 to December 1, 2025. Within the project, the Association C.E.K.O.R organized field trips to Trebević and Vlašić with children who enjoyed fresh air, and numerous workshops and hiking tours were held.

Upon completion of the project, the Association “Center for Ecology and Sustainable Development – C.E.K.O.R” Kakanj, in accordance with contractual obligations, will submit a complete financial report on the purposeful use of the approved funds, together with accompanying documentation.
