146 Teachers Learn Lessons from Srebrenica Community Champions

Community Champions speak to NUT Black Teachers Conference about learning the lessons from the Srebrenica genocide.

Niparun Nessa at the NUTBME conference

Srebrenica Community Champions Niparun Nessa, Shaheena Khan and Kauser Jan spoke to teachers from all over the country about our work to tackle hatred at the NUT Black Teachers conference in November.

Niparun spoke to the whole conference about the inspirational Remembering Srebrenica education resources developed in partnership with the PSHE Association as well as giving a summary of what she had seen and learned on the NUT ‘Lessons from Srebrenica’ delegation.

There was more time to discuss their experiences and give more information on the subject when our Champions gave workshops. The resources were very well received by all the teachers who attended and demand for education packs was so high that website links were provided for all the people that weren’t able to get one on the day.

Reflecting on the conference, Niparun said:

“The workshop sessions flew by and one hour wasn’t enough with the amount of discussion going on. People have heard of Yugoslavia, but didn’t know much about Bosnia and the war there.

“This was a vital opportunity to get more teachers involved with learning the lessons from Srebrenica and demonstrating what can happen if we don’t tackle hatred and intolerance.”

When asked whether he accepted the genocide at Srebrenica happened, Peter Handke dismissed the question as 'empty & ignorant'. This is yet another example of the crass & deplorable conduct that reinforces how disgraceful it is to award him the Nobel prize. https://t.co/ID7y5btI4M

In the lead up to the holidays, we are suggesting books for people looking for something Bosnia related to read over the Christmas period. Our first book is @edvulliamy's "The War is Dead: Long Live The War" - an excellent introduction to what happened in Prijedor and Srebrenica.

Educating young people is an important part of what we do. If you are a #teacher and wish to know more about how you can bring the lessons from #Srebrenica into your school, contact our @KSrebrenica for more details!

Kate Williams (Remembering Srebrenica)@KSrebrenica

It is important that students are able to recognise how hatred in society can lead to the unthinkable - genocide. Today at @SrebrenicaUK, we are dedicating a whole day to education, and how we can better equip young people to tackle hatred and learn the lessons from Srebrenica.

26 years ago yesterday I left #Prijedor with one of my sisters and had to leave mother and my other sister behind. That day was the last time I saw my grandma. Had to leave my own home my country in the middle of #Europe in 1993 just because I am #Muslim and because I am #Bosnian
