TPO Foundation and University of Zenica are planning to hold Interdisciplinary Classrooms in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia in 2016 within the framework of PILAR Programme whose focus is on the affirmation of the interdisciplinary approach in learning and research methods in social and humanistic disciplines in all forms of sociability in the area of former Yugoslavia. The objective of such approach is the building of public good that has been devastated systematically for over 20 years. In order to use human capital and resources in a better manner, particularly the one of young people, it is essential to provide quality knowledge, skills and competences that enable people to improve their own lives and public good through social inclusion of all population categories. An important step in that process is to abolish a fake division between academia and social community and to ensure equal approach to education for all. In this kind of approach, we assemble all existing platforms and initiatives that are interested for team work on public goods through the following programme themes: politics of memory and building of social solidarity, research of trauma in everyday life, cultural production and trauma testimony. >> MORE
