Picturing Moral Courage: Stories of Survival aims to educate participants about the topic of moral courage using several creative approaches: a photo
exhibition depicting rescuers from all over the world and their personal narratives; workshops that teach students how to use photography, media, and other forms of artistic expression as a tool for peacebuilding and social action; and a dramatic reenactment of rescuer narratives performed byprofessional actors. Additionally, conference panelists and speakers will present a wide variety of perspectives and topics from the fields of
genocide, education, art, media and peacebuilding. This conference will give students from all over Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the greater Balkans region, the chance to interact with each other and can play a role in creating a network of informed citizens and youth members who can promote peace and reconciliation in their respective communities. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country deeply affected by consequences of the recent war,
therefore, this conference aims to educate members of Bosnian youth and civil society about topics related to moral courage and rescuer behavior and
their importance to sustainable peace in the country. One of the most detrimental impediments to reconciliation and peacebuilding efforts is the
educational division within Bosnian schools throughout the country. This divided system administers separate curricula to students of different ethnicities, resulting in three independent understandings of conflict and history.
*Application requirements:*
Students, including undergraduates, graduates and post-graduates, from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, the F.Y.R. Macedonia,
Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia are encouraged to apply. A proven interest in the issues the conference will address is crucial, as well as
