The Courage to Defend: Jovan Divjak
Jovan Divjak was a Commander of the Territorial Defence in Sarajevo when the war in Bosnia began. In April 1992, he stayed in Sarajevo to be part of the multi-ethnic ABiH, defending the city and its civilians.
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!
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
Grateful to Mr McGarvey, headteacher from @BalaamWood who participated on our recent delegation comprised of teachers from the King Edward Foundation in Birmingham for sharing his experience from his visit to Srebrenica with the school's pupils.
Mr McGarvey is leading this week’s assemblies sharing his experience of going on a delegation with @SrebrenicaUK reminding us on the importance of being kind and looking out for others ... quite an emotional assembly! 💚 2
