FAMA Methodology

FAMA's mission is to document facts, preserve human experiences, and transfer knowledge related to the Siege of Sarajevo 1992-1996 and different aspects of the Fall of Yugoslavia 1991-1999. We are committed to transforming how we educate and inform about urban / civic / cultural resistance whilst safeguarding the culture of remembrance for future generations.

FAMA Collection archives exemplify a new approach to recording facts / evidence and mapping out the causes and consequences of historical events. As such, that method offers a multimedia platform for evidence-based engagement, creative transfer of knowledge and regional dialogue. By leveraging innovative educational approaches and engaging storytelling techniques, we aim to understand how creativity can help people resist terror and make them more resilient for the 21st-century risk society.

The aim of FAMA Methodology is, through the educational modules of the School of Knowledge project, to put the FAMA Collection to use, a collection that was created in various phases (including FAMA, FAMA Archive, and FAMA Collection). It is considered the world's largest independent Collection of multimedia projects pertaining to the Siege of Sarajevo (1992-1996) and related events in reference to the Fall of Yugoslavia (1991-1999). Over the years, the collection has grown amidst impossible conditions (the siege and post-war transition) and through various pioneering concepts, topics and international acknowledgements. In addition to its scale, historical-educational importance and mapping approach to documented documents and collective memory, the Collection presents a new approach to documenting facts and evidence, mapping out the causes and consequences of events in a genre accessible to a wide-spectrum audience.

We would like to extend special thanks to Mr Jovan Divjak and his association, Education Builds Bosnia and Herzegovina. We thank them for their long-standing, generous support and initiative in nominating the FAMA Methodology/FAMA Collection for the Sixth of April Award.
