Biber is a short story contest for socially engaged short stories in Albanian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Croatian, Macedonian and Serbian.
The contest is organised by the Biber Team of the Centre for Nonviolent Action Sarajevo-Belgrade.
We are a literary activist team brought together by the idea that art can inspire social change. We launched Biber because we believe that when literature is aware of its context, it has the potential to intervene in that context – to effect changes, to give us all hope and a fighting chance.
This online handbook is created as an online support tool for practitioners with previous knowledge and skills of groupwork with adults on issues of dealing with conflict and peacebuilding.
The handbook cannot replace knowledge and skills acquired through participation at the Training for Trainers and the learning process of practical work in team with more experienced.
Numerous sites of massacres, suffering and torture across BiH are unmarked because local authorities oppose having signs at sites of suffering where the victims were people who do not belong to the majority in the municipality. Marking unmarked sites of suffering (abbreviated as ONMS) entails putting up temporary signs that say:
“Unmarked SITE OF SUFFERING – At this site, during the past war, people were subjected to inhuman acts – By not letting these events be forgotten, we stand in solidarity with all victims – May it never happen again to anyone.”
This website documents places of suffering and places of remembrance
in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the wartime 1991-1995.
The product of the conducted research is the publication:
War of Memories – Places of suffering and remembrance of war in Bosnia-Herzegovina
