​Multigenerational Talks
Live Conference

Gradient Text

Join Us!

Gradient Text

January 20-22, 2025

Styled Heading
​The Multigenerational Live Debates look back at the wars in the former Yugoslavia (1991 – 2001), their aftermath and their consequences from a personal perspective: What does it mean to grow up in the midst of war and uncertainty? What does it take for refugees to truly arrive somewhere, and what does that teach us about the current political situation in Europe? How do societies deal with war time atrocities and trauma, and how does that affect the survivors of these crimes? How can perpetrators be brought to justice? What when perpetrators are not accessible and justice is not in reach? How do individuals and families cope with still ongoing search for missing? How to humanise the way we deal with past and ongoing atrocities?
Styled Heading
​To discuss these questions, the three live debates will bring together three speakers (Ivana Bodrožić, Vasfije Krasniqi Goodman and Vedran Džihić) who will talk about the wars in the former Yugoslavia and their aftermath from a personal and professional perspective with young adults from all over Europe who have been intensively preparing the debates in the past few months.
