General Information

- It is a young non-profit organization, currently led by 4 young volunteers, with an executive board structure. It is not member oriented, but has more than 100 beneficiaries in a year, professors and high school students. Main partners are HERMES (CRO) and Open Communication (SRB) - It is a young organization, founded last year, so the budget is not big - Sources of funding for last year were Konrad Adenauer Foundation and Anne Frank House - WEB is working on two projects, one is "Anne Frank - history for today" traveling exhibition and the other one is "Model International Criminal Court - Western Balkans". Both projects are dealing with a past, actively working on a process of reconciliation on the Balkans. - Main partners involved are Open Communication from Serbia and HERMES from Croatia.

Mission and Objectives

WEB seeks to pursue, on a national and regional level, the breaking the taboo of Yugoslav history, generating dialogue between the people, groups, and countries that stopped communicating constructively; bringing together and encouraging cooperation between different generations (primary schools, high schools and universities, professionals) as well as between disenfranchised interest groups (youth, women, professional associations, labor unions, social justice activists and minority groups).

Main Projects / Activities

Model International Criminal Court - Western Balkans (MICC WeB) is an adapted simulation of war crimes trials, where students take on the role of prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges, the press. In an intense six-day program, they cover topics of human rights dilemmas, history, and identity de/construction, they interview contemporary witnesses from the wars in former Yugoslavia. The education culminates in the actual trial simulation, where well-known war crimes trials are re-enacted.
By tackling taboos prevalent in the region marked by recent turbulent past, MICC WeB seeks to open up the space for communication in order to digest the difficult history – and not let it hold hostage any longer the region’s young people’s present and future.
The main goal of ”Anne Frank – History for today” exhibition is to raise awareness and encourage discussion about the recent history of nationalism, exclusion, prejudice, discrimination in the region and promote debate and dialogue on our common past. The project also tended to promote critical thinking about historical events and their relevance for contemporary challenges, as well as to inspire an interdisciplinary, civic-education oriented history education.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We can contribute with projects and workshops, in which the recent history, nationalist conflicts, divisive rhetoric, and extremist views are discussed through dialogue and debate, building long-lasting bridges, friendships and networks in the process. Since Bosnia and Herzegovina has so many problems and challenges in the present, our activities bring together disenfranchised interest groups (youth, women, educators, professional associations, labor unions, social justice activists and minority groups), providing an opportunity for exchange of experiences, and building their capacity for advocacy and problem solving in their communities.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Currently, we are connected with other organizations regionally, and we would like now to continue spreading our network internationally.
