Shared Future: Youth for Inclusive and Dialogic Remembrance  

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
