Packed with images and features, it contains 56 stories that showcase the beauty of Bosnia\u2019s landscape, the richness of its culture, and the creative entrepreneurship and energies of its people.<\/p>\n PCRC<\/em> is a peacebuilding organisation that has been strategically harnessing creative visual and multi-media to foster a culture of peace and coexistence in Bosnia since its inception in 2011. Engaging in peace education, conflict prevention, human rights, and participatory media activities, the Bosnian-led organisation produces films, commissions photographic exhibitions and initiatives, hosts the online media platform Balkans Diskurs, and organises public art works and festivals. All its activities forge narratives<\/a><\/strong> that create common ground and foster dialogue, diversity, and tolerance in a divided BiH.<\/p>\n Over 25 years since the end of the war, and despite billions invested in transitional justice and international peacebuilding mechanisms, Bosnia\u2019s peace continues to be fragile. Ethnic divisions between the three constituent peoples have become entrenched, frozen into the tripartite presidency, government, and educational systems, with nationalist agendas fuelling separatist rhetoric and obstructing reconciliation efforts. Competing and conflicting views of history dominate public, political, and media discourses, and many young Bosnians grow up with selective and inherently divisive versions of the past in a country with one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the world.<\/p>\n PRCR<\/em> uses creative multimedia to address polarising and negative media content and the lack of role models. It focuses its efforts on building youth capacity and countering youth apathy and disillusionment. Ordinary Heroes<\/a>, one of its flagship projects, tells the stories of people who go against the grain to protect and save people from different ethnic groups and different sides of the conflict to themselves during times of conflict. Each year, PCRC<\/em> runs a youth media training and mentoring program, and its youth correspondents hunt out \u2018Ordinary Heroes\u2019 stories from within their own communities to celebrate examples of inter-ethnic cooperation and moral courage.<\/p>\nMIR<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Irvin Muj\u010di\u0107, 37, returned to Srebrenica in 2014 having been forcibly exiled aged 6 during the war. His father who stayed in Srebrenica was killed during the genocide. He founded the Association of Friends of Nature in Srebrenica and started organising tours in the villages and developing rural tourism. He is dedicated to restoring Srebrenica\u2019s local community through celebrating its untouched nature. He has now built his own ethno-village using traditional building methods, a touristic settlement resembling traditional Bosnian villages that also offers riding and walking tours.<\/h5>\n
