Workshops & Training Programs.

I have not only been responsible for the planning and coordination of a number of educational workshops but also for the development of their curriculum and structure.

War, Art, Reporting & Memory (WARM) Academy.

A multidisciplinary, educational program to develop participants’ knowledge and critical skills in the fields of peacebuilding and conflict transformation. Taking place during Sarajevo’s annual WARM Festival, the Academy featured a series of masterclasses, interactive panel discussions, and site visits that presented cutting-edge approaches and best practices to address issues related to contemporary and post- conflict transitions.

Balkan Diskurs Youth Correspondents Program.

A participatory media, arts, and mentoring program that encourages new approaches to promoting transitional justice and reconciliation among Balkan youth. The program seeks to catalyze a new form of participatory, youth-produced media that promotes peacebuilding and inclusive civil society and provides youth participants with a platform to engage and build their credibility as relevant changemakers.

Heroes in Training Program.

The HEROES IN TRAINING youth workshops were designed to positively influence participants’ psychological orientation towards the “other” and to help them better understand the psychological processes that take place at an individual level and the external influences that contribute to one’s choice to act as a rescuer, bystander, or perpetrator in times of conflict. By creating an awareness of these processes and mechanisms, our participants are better able to withstand the negative social influences that reinforce division as well as recognize situations where the concepts of active bystandership and moral courage can be applied to influence positive outcomes.
