4. ORGANISATION OF SPECIFIC EVENTS
Exhibition “Wake up Europe! Support and solidarity mobilisations with Bosnia and Herzegovina and its citizens, 1992-1995”, 2021/2
A project of the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in cooperation with Memory Lab, with the support of the Goethe Institute BiH and the French Institute in BiH
During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992-1995, numerous initiatives arose in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, the Czech Republic and other European countries, and citizens, NGOs, informal groups and artists articulated support and solidarity with Bosnia and Herzegovina and its citizens in various ways. The aim of this project is to provide general information about forms, activities and actors of the support and solidarity movements with Bosnia and Herzegovina in Europe during the 1992-1995 war and to illustrate them concretely using individual examples. By increasing awareness and knowledge of this little-known but important chapter in recent European history, the exhibition is also intended to stimulate the discussion for today: What can we do today to show solidarity with people and societies that are experiencing war or other crisis situations?
The exhibition was opened at the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo on 20 October 2021 and stayed there until 18 December 2021. I was part of the organising team and was in charge of the historical research, finding the documents and writing the accompanying texts. In 2022, the exhibtion was shown, in an adapted form, in Berlin (with support of the Heinrich Böll Foundation and the Goethe Institute), in Strasbourg (with support of the Franco-German Youth Office and the municipality of Strasbourg) and in Barcelona (in cooperation with EUROM and the City Coucil of Barcelona).

5. TEACHING
Die postjugoslawischen Kriege der 1990er Jahre in ihrem europäischen Kontext: Ursachen, Verlauf, Nachwirkungen [The Post-Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s in their European Context: Causes, Development, Aftermath]
Seminar at the Institute for History at the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, winter semester 2021/2
Die postjugoslawischen Kriege der 1990er Jahre waren die ersten offenen Kriege auf europäischem Boden seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, und doch spielen sie in Diskursen zur neuesten europäischen Geschichte oftmals nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Dabei waren sie einschneidende Ereignisse nicht nur für die Gesellschaften des ehemaligen Jugoslawiens, sie konfrontierten das gesamte Europa, von den Regierungen zum gewöhnlichen Bürger, mit der Frage, wie man sich gegenüber der Gewalt in der unmittelbaren Nachbarschaft verhalten wolle. Das Seminar setzt sich mit den Ursachen und dem Verlauf der Kriege in Slowenien (1991), Kroatien (1991-1995), Bosnien und Herzegowina (1992-.1995) und Kosovo (1998/9) auseinander, was sie für die betroffenen Menschen und Gesellschaften bedeuteten, und wie sie bis heute nachwirken. Eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt der Frage, welche Rolle Regierungen und Bürgerinnen und Bürger im restlichen Europa im Laufe dieser Kriege spielten, sowie der Frage, wieso so viele in Europa so wenig über diese Kriege wissen.
