Association’s Work Showcased at the Reconciliation Festival in Novi Sad

The Reconciliation Festival took place in Novi Sad from September 7th to 10th,
marking its second edition, organized by the Kulturanova Association in collaboration
with the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad.

The festival aims to engage young people from the region in critical discussions on
peace, reconciliation, and interculturalism – topics often overlooked in public
discourse. This initiative aims to develop the capacity for further action by creating
interventions, programs, and activities that promote reconciliation and strengthen
participatory democracies in their communities.

Recognizing the importance of such events in peacebuilding and addressing the
legacy of past conflicts, the Forgotten Children of War Association actively
contributed to the Festival of Reconciliation.

During the public panel “Bleeding and Healing: Invisible Fates from the War,” Ajna
Jusić, president of the Forgotten Children of War Association, joined Miloš Urošević
(Women in Black, Serbia) and Korab Krasiniqi (ForumZFD, Kosovo) to discuss the
association’s work. Jusić emphasized the role of art as a vital tool for reconciliation
and creating conditions for a better understanding of the social reality that followed
the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The association is pleased to highlight the importance of such events with our work,
setting an example of good practice on the path to reconciliation and overcoming
obstacles in creating democratic dialogue.
