This study brings together three research directions: one concerns the role of heritage and education in the reconciliation process; the second includes the perspectives of art history students on the unwanted legacy of the past; and the third focuses on the lessons learned by investigating the first two phenomena. This paper focuses on the third segment. The main research question is: how can Serbs and Albanians, after everything that happened in recent decades in Kosovo, live together again? What can young people do and what is the role of education in all that? The key to this is changing the culture of hostility in the direction of a culture of a shared future. Those who can bring this to life most effectively are young people.
