At the non-academic level, five courses were attended:

On average, each course was successfully completed by 10–14 participants, making a total of over 70 throughout the semester. Those who completed all requirements received certificates with ECTS credits, and those who partially fulfilled the requirements received a certificate of attendance.
At the certificate award ceremony, the leaders of the FER school, Prof. Dr. Zilka Spahić Šiljak and Dr. Jadranka Rebeka Anić, addressed the participants. It was also an opportunity for some participants to share their reflections on what they had learned, what they had given, and what they had received during sessions attended by both women and men from across the Balkan region.
