On 13 May 2025, another workshop was held within the framework of the project “Living Peace Lab: Developing Peer Education Initiatives” at the Human Rights Center of the University of Sarajevo (UNSA), this time on the topic of the role of culture and art in the prevention of violence. The project explores the key role of youth in understanding the causes of widespread violence in the community, and brings together students from various study programmes at UNSA who wish to design educational tools for the violence prevention.

In accordance with the principles of the EUPeace Alliance, which emphasise the importance of connecting the academic community with other social stakeholders in order to achieve palpable societal progress, this Living Lab project was designed in cooperation with the non-governmental organisation “Cure” and the Agency for Gender Equality of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Representatives of these partner organisations had the opportunity to take direct part in working with the participants of this workshop.

This event is the third in a series of five planned during the summer and winter semesters of the 2024/2025 academic year. Educational programmes such as this encourage cooperation and creativity in constructive dialogue with the aim of overcoming conflicts and the culture of violence in society. The next workshop is scheduled for 16 September 2025, and its focus will be on the role of the media and social networks.
