Shattered. Displaced. Settled in? Experiences from Bosnia and Herzegovina

Thirty years after the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, this four-part series of events is dedicated to the displacement from the former Yugoslavia and arrival in Germany. Eyewitnesses, experts, and cultural figures share their perspectives on the often forgotten history of fleeing war. Through panel discussions, retrospectives, and personal accounts, we make this complex history tangible.

Join the discussion and learn more about refugee policy, social participation, and solidarity at that time.
