Dear Colleagues,

The International University of Sarajevo (IUS) is hosting its third
summer school from June 20 to July 4, 2016. The summer school aims to
make a contribution to the process of dealing with the past,
reconciliation and transitional justice approaches in Bosnia and
Herzegovina (BiH) and the region. By examining the ways how and what
we can learn from the past in order to confront the challenges in the
present, IUS promotes the idea of education as an essential tool for
reconciliation and an agent of positive societal change in
post-conflict societies. We aspire to give an overview of some of the
most commonly used methodologies, approaches, tools and techniques
covered by disciplines related to transitional justice, dealing with
the past and reconciliation. With the expertise of lecturers from the
region and beyond, the course will also focus on new methods in social
science research relevant to this important field. The summer school
is organized as a combination of lectures, workshops, excursions,
field-trips, visits to relevant institutions, introduction to
governmental and non-governmental organizations, and participation in
socio-cultural activities and events.

The summer school will consist of three, roughly two-hour, classroom
sessions during most of the days, followed by visits to BiH government
ministries, international organizations, NGOs and a four day field
visit to the Srebrenica Memorial Centre (Potocari) and a post-genocide
community (the village of Klotjevac) in Eastern Bosnia. The field
trips will provide the participants with the opportunity to experience
learning beyond the classroom in a community setting. It will provide
them with a more intensive hands-on practice with methods discussed
during the sessions.
