Memorial Week 2016 in schools

Thousands of young people took part in events to mark the 21st anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, honouring the lost generation of Bosnia and acting to combat hatred and intolerance.

Thomas Hardye School

During memorial week 2016, over 50 events were held to educate young people about the events in Srebrenica and the lessons that we must learn. Over 10,000 young people in the UK were reached during July through assemblies, workshops or participation in the 8372 Srebrenica Memorial Football Tournament. It was excellent to see young people commemorating the Srebrenica genocide in a range of inspiring ways.

Students in Berkshire participated in an art competition based on their learning about Srebrenica and 112 students completed a 1km walk to symbolise the 112km walk from Srebrenica to Tuzla made by many men and boys to attempt to escape in July 1995.

Today, we remember the victims.
