Tuesday 23rd March 2010

6.30 pm – Forum Starts
Room G08, Melbourne Law School, 185 Pelham Street, Parkville
- Ron Adams, ethno-historian at La Trobe University
- Maria Tumarkin, Research Fellow at the Institute of Social Research, Swinburne University
- Hariz Halilovich, Research Fellow at the Department of General Practice, University of Melbourne.
This forum will explore the impact that memories of war and its associated trauma have on Bosnians.
It will highlight the importance of reconciliation initiatives for the first post-war generations, who did not experience the conflict first-hand, but who live with its ongoing effects nonetheless.
The forum will also consider the global resonance of the Bosnian conflict, in particular the way in which social and historical memory of the war impacts on the Bosnian diaspora.
A forum presented in support of Most Mira (Peace Bridge) Youth Festival, a UK-based charity aiding reconciliation in Northern Bosnia through work with young people
