Thank you for requesting these educational resources. Your use of these resources supports Remembering Srebrenica in our work to raise awareness of the genocide in the UK and contribute to strengthening British society by helping to tackle hatred, racism and intolerance wherever it occurs.

Our remote-learning 2020 resources are now available for the ‘Every Action Matters’ theme for the 25th Anniversary.

Every Action Matters Form Time/Remote Learning Resources
11th July 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. This year, commemorations will focus on the theme ‘Every Action Matters’  – looking at the actions that were taken, both big and small, by those who survived the Srebrenica genocide. The theme will shine a light on the stories of people in Bosnia and the UK who took action in the face of intolerance and hatred and refused to be bystanders.

The form time resource pack contains a series of short discussions which can be taught in form periods/tutor time or uploaded onto remote learning platforms. These workshops investigate the Srebrenica genocide, ethnic cleansing and the Bosnian War to give students the chance to engage with a range of topics and increase their understanding across the board. Each discussion contains a short piece of survivor testimony to read.
