DJETINJSTVO U RATU

Finansiranje i Vaša podrška

Izradu projekta “Djetinjstvo u ratu” finansira Udruženje URBAN u saradnji sa svojim partnerima u iznosu od preko 50%.

Ostale troškove pokušat ćemo isfinansirati ovom kampanjom. U toku dvije godine napravljena su dva web sajta knjige, promotivna kampanja, obrada prikupljenih sjećanja i dokumenata, sortiranje i uređivanje knjige. U posljednjoj fazi knjiga je dizajnirana, te je započet prijevod na četiri jezika.

Ideja ove kampanje je da osiguramo nedostajuća sredstva za štampanje knjige.

Na ovaj način unaprijed ćete rezervirati jedinstvenu knjigu (oko 350 stranica formata 21x27cm) i dobiti je na Vašu adresu. Osim toga, direktno ćete podržati realizaciju ovog projekta.

Pozadina

Opsada Sarajeva trajala je 1.425 dana i najduža je u modernoj historiji čovječanstva. Tokom opsade ubijeno je preko 11.500 građana, a preko 50.000 je ranjeno. Smrt je bila dio svakodnevnice. Ipak, ovo nije projekt o smrti, već o iskustvu preživjelih. Pod opsadom su trajala djetinjstva. Desetine hiljada djevojčica i dječaka odraslo je u opkoljenom gradu, drugačije nego što se odrasta na slobodi. Ovaj projekt istražuje njihovo iskustvo.

Koncept

‘Djetinjstvo u ratu’ je interaktivni projekt koji nastoji predstaviti i istražiti kolektivno iskustvo djece Sarajeva. Putem web-stranice je upućen otvoreni poziv ljudima koji su bili djeca tokom opsade da se uključe i pošalju svoja kratka sjećanja u formi sms poruke. Ideja je od tih kratkih unikatnih priloga napraviti mozaik sjećanja i tako ispričati priču tih generacija.

Ideju su kao svoju prihvatili i sve do danas je nose ljudi koji su dio odrastanja proveli u opkoljenom Sarajevu. Njih 1.500 javilo se sa svojim sjećanjem iz čak 35 država svijeta za samo 3 mjeseca. I nakon toga, stotine njih aktivno učestvuju u realizaciji projekta razgovarajući, razmjenjujući opširnija iskustva, te dokumente (fotografije, dnevničke zapise, pisma, crteže…) Ova ideja rezultirat će knjigom – riznicom sjećanja sarajevske djece.

Sadržaj knjige

Knjiga se sastoji iz tri dijela. Prvi dio donosi uvodne tekstove o BiH, Sarajevu, opsadi Sarajeva te o samom projektu. Drugi, glavni, dio knjige sadrži mozaik kratkih sjećanja primljenih u toku realizacije projekta. Treći dio knjige je vizuelno efektan, donosi dio prikupljenih uspomena: fotografije, crteže, dnevničke zapise, priče, pisma itd.

WAR CHILDHOOD

Project financing and your support

Urban Association and our partners have secured more than 50% of the funds needed for project completion.

Other expenses we need to cover we will finance through this campaign. During the last two years we initiated two web-sites (one for collecting memories, another for presentation of project), a promotional campaign, editing of collected memories and documents, and sorting and editing the book. We are now in the last phase: the design of the book has been done, and translation into four languages has started.

The idea of this campaign is to secure the funds we still lack for printing the book.

In this way you will be able to reserve your copy of this unique book (about 350 pages in 21x27cm format) and you will have it delivered to your door. At the same time, you will know you have contributed to this project directly.

All backers of $25 and more will receive English edition e-book as well.

Background

The siege of Sarajevo lasted 1,425 days. It was the longest siege in the history of the modern world. More than 11,500 civilians were killed. A further 50,000 were wounded. Death was part of daily life. This is not a project about death, however. It is about the experiences of the survivors. Childhood continued under siege. Tens of thousands of young girls and boys grew up in the surrounded town. This is different from growing up free. This project explores their experiences.

The Concept

War Childhood is an interactive project. Its goal is to present and explore the collective experience of the children of Sarajevo. An open invitation was issued by web-page for people who were children under siege to send brief summaries of their memories in the form of text messages. The idea was to tell this generation's story by creating a mosaic of memories out of these short and unique attachments.

Realization

The idea was quickly embraced by people whose upbringing was spent, in part at least, under siege in Sarajevo. They have remained an integral part of the city. Some 1,500 war children now living in 35 countries round the world responded with their memories in just 3 months. Hundreds of them took an active part in the next phase of the project: talking and exchanging their wider experiences and documents (photos, diary entries, letters, drawings…). The end result will be a book – a treasury of the memories of Sarajevo's children.

Contents

The book has three parts. The first comprises introductory texts on Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, the siege of Sarajevo, and the project. The second, main section of the book is a mosaic of the short recollections gathered during implementation of the project. The third section has a visual focus, bringing together keepsakes: photographs, drawings, diary entries, stories, letters, etc.
