The project “Shared Future: Youth for Inclusive and Dialogic Remembrance” (1/12/2025 – 30/06/2026) of the Institute of Philosophy and Social Theory, with the support of the British Council, aims to encourage dialogue about the past through education in cultural memory and field research on oral histories. The project collects personal stories and visual materials through a regional network of students from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo*, Montenegro, and Serbia. The main results are the Digital Archive “Remembrance through Inclusion and Dialogue” (SID-ARH IFDT) and the Exhibition of Student Works, which will be presented during the Summer School in Novi Pazar

Sustaining Civil Society in the Context of Multiple Crises: Hubs of Engagement in Central and Eastern Europe and Sweden

Active, IFDT partner, International, Projects

This project comparatively analyses the resilience and innovative capacities of civil society in Poland, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Czechia, and Sweden. It begins from the genealogies of multiple crises – economic, housing, climate, food, pandemic, and gender – and focuses on communities’ collective responses. It examines how civic actions emerge and endure under conditions of exclusion, how activists sustain engagement and build multi-scalar solidarities, and how alliances and key relationships are shaped. As an analytical instrument, the concept of “hubs of engagement” is introduced. The methodological framework is qualitative and comparative, based on critical participatory action research.
