In 2020-2023, the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia,
Documenta-Center for Dealing with the Past (Croatia), Tuzla National
Theatre (Bosnia and Herzegovina-BiH), and the International
Partnership for Human Rights (Belgium) jointly implemented project
„Srebrenica: Drawing Lessons from the Past through Theatre
Imagination”. The project connected more than 840 people from four
European countries in learning from history in order to draw lessons
for today and the future. Among them were civic activists,
journalists, intellectuals, academics, students, artists, book
publishers, young people, and a large number of ordinary people.
Through a unique theatre play about the genocide in Srebrenica,
inclusive discussions about the civic responsibility to preserve
peace in Europe, art masterclasses for young people, and a broad
media campaign, the project succeeded to 1) unpack the correlation
between extreme forms of nationalism and basic rights abuses, 2)
discuss shared European legacy of crimes, 3) engage youth in keeping
the memory of Europe’s tragic past alive, and 4) recommend measures
for increasing resilience to violent tendencies. The action also
paid tribute to the victims of the Srebrenica genocide. As such, the
project contributed to understanding the impact of extremist
ideologies on democracy, rule of law, and intercultural relations,
thus enabling Europeans to learn from the past and join forces in
building a safer future for all.
With the purpose of achieving these goals, 16 events were held,
including:
