Firefly International works to overcome boundaries worldwide through friendship, education and the arts. Our current projects include international cultural festivals and partnerships with local organisations in Bosnia, the Middle East, and the UK.
We believe in global human rights and are happy to work with other organisations internationally with the same goal.
Firefly’s first project was Svitac (Firefly Bosnia) a multicultural youth centre in Brčko, Bosnia. Founded by Ellie Maxwell and Gordana Varcaković in 1998, it is now an independent partner organisation.
Svitac remains an important Firefly partner, and is still largely funded by individual donations through our Charity.
