partnership with the Faculty for Legal and Business Studies “Dr
Lazar Vrkatic” from Novi Sad organized the fourth student exchange.
This event made part of the project “Building Bridges, Not Walls –
The Role of Universities in Peacebuilding”, which is supported by
the Norwegian Helsinki Committee. Students from Novi Sad already
visited Novi Pazar and Tuzla and last year they hosted students from
Pristina. The fourth student exchange was organized with students
from Mostar.
During the three days that students from Novi Sad
spent in Mostar, they socialized with their peers from University
“Dzemal Bjedic”, attended lectures together and visited cultural and
historical places in Mostar.
Lectures about intercultural understanding, human
rights and reconciliation, which are held parallel at the University
in Mostar and at the Faculty in Novi Sad, also made part of this
visit.
Representative of LDA Mostar, Dzenana Dedic,
emphasized the importance of being active in one’s society. She
presented several projects that this organization implemented in its
community and talked to the students about possible activities whose
goal is to create a better local community.
Acc. Prof. Dr Ivan Cvitkovic lectured about
intercultural understanding and human rights. He talked about
different identities with particular emphasis on national and
religious identities. Students were also presented with information
about educational system and its role in intercultural understanding
and reconciliation.
Through forum theater and workshops, playwright
Alma Moric-Djuliman focused on topics such as human rights,
prejudice, stereotypes and importance of teamwork.
