Please join us for a panel discussion - Dealing with the Past in the Balkans: Structured Encounters in Belgrade and Pristina - organized by Genocide Prevention Program and Program on History, Memory and Conflict at SCAR. The event will take place on Wednesday 30 January, at S-CAR, 12-1.30 pm, Conference Room, 7th floor (Truland building).
The relations between Pristina and Belgrade have been strained for a long time, while the deadlock in political dialogue between two sides persists. The presentation by SCAR alumna, Dr. Orli Friedman, will offer an alternative view of the conflict by focusing on youth and civil society initiatives that enable structured encounters between young people from Serbia proper and Kosovo building a bottom-up momentum for change.
Dr. Orli Fridman is the Academic Director of the SIT Study Abroad Program in the Balkans (Post-conflict transformation in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia) and a lecturer at the MA program in Conflict Studies at the Faculty of Media and Communications (FMK) at Belgrade's Singidunum University. Orli received her Ph.D. at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (ICAR), GMU in 2006.
The panel discussion will be chaired and moderated by Borislava Manojlovic, Cumbie Director of Reserch at S-CAR, GMU.
