Details

The breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s sparked ethnic conflicts across the region, including the Bosnian War (1992-1995) largely between Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Serbs. Utilizing Echoes & Reflections pedagogy and the framework provided in Unit XII: Teaching about Genocide, join expert facilitator Kim Klett as she provides historical context, explores the causes and consequences of the conflict, and examines the events that led to the systematic killing of more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys at Srebrenica in July 1995— an internationally recognized genocide.

Participants will gain strategies for navigating sensitive topics such as ethnic violence, international justice, and the effects of genocide with classroom-ready resources including visual history testimony to encourage critical thinking and foster empathy in their students.
