Programme Summary
International Forum Bosnia is pleased to announce that the Eight International Summer School on Youth and Heritage, will be held in Stolac (Bosnia and Herzegovina) in July/August, 2013.
The School is a practical development of many years of research on tolerance and draws on an extensive network of partners, both individuals and organizations, committed to social and cultural reconstruction, reconciliation, and respect for diversity.
The aim is to assist young people to reach a greater understanding and appreciation of the diversity and plurality in world cultures, particularly those that contribute to European diversity. Only in this way can the unity in diversity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a model of an open society, be recognised, conserved, and developed.
Through an integrated two-week programme of seminars, fieldwork, practical activities, and recreational evenings, participants are provided expert introduction to and hands-on experience of traditional crafts and bodies of knowledge, architectural heritage, sustainable ways of life, and environmental practice. They are also encouraged to think about how socially cohesive, but fundamentally open communities can be developed and maintained, as well as the importance of combining diversity with strong roots in local heritage.
The school faculty is made up of local and visiting experts in the promotion of cultural and religious dialogue, specific areas of heritage preservation and promotion, traditional crafts and techniques, and similar fields, as well as an appropriate number of support staff.
The school will host 30 young people, half from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the remainder from Europe and other parts of the world. The international mix ensures a lively encounter between members of different cultures.
This year, particular attention will be given to identity under conditions of European integration, as well as globalization and the reaction to it of cultural and religious prejudice, xenophobia and nationalist chauvinism. The school will involve seminars and workshops on these issues of cultural dialogue, the complex interrelationships between cultures, and the causes and effects of conflict that targets cultural or religious difference.
As a forum for exploring certain aspects of traditional culture at first hand, the school will involve an increased number of practical workshops on forgotten skills. Established workshops in traditional woodworking, bookbinding and the preservation of archival materials, and carpet-making, will be supplemented by bee-keeping, practical ecology, foraging, traditional forms of fruit-production, traditional household management, and local and oral history (depending on demand).
Fieldwork will focus on the renovation and rehabilitation of the damaged cultural and natural heritage of Stolac. There will also be a number of field trips to local sites of interest on the Adriatic coast and in the hinterland.
Bed and board will be provided in the town (in hostel-style facilities or with local families).
