PCRC's overall strategy encompasses six core areas of operation: creative multimedia, preventing genocide, mass atrocities & violent extremism, peace education, transitional justice, post-conflict research and consultancy. • Creative multimedia The development and production of multimedia materials, tools and platforms aimed to inspire social activism towards positive change, educate viewers about underreported issues, advocate for the underrepresented, and foster
tolerance and mutual understanding among divided citizens and youth. • Preventing genocide, mass atrocities and violent extremism The provision of prevention-based
education and training to civil society actors across the
Western Balkans and the strengthening of policies and practices for the prevention of genocide and other mass atrocities. This area of operation also includes the implementation of interventions that focus on addressing
sexual violence and impunity for perpetrators. • Peace education The creation and implementation of educational programs and curriculum designed around cutting-edge research and best practices in the fields of intercultural dialogue and cooperation, intergroup contact, reconciliation, youth activism and empowerment, and pro-social behavior psychology. • Transitional justice PCRC works to advance
human rights and
transitional justice in Bosnia and Herzegovina and throughout the region via cutting-edge approaches to human rights and transitional justice - including arts-based initiatives and youth education programs - that complement more traditional transitional justice mechanisms and human rights initiatives in the region. • Post-conflict research The creation and implementation of methodologies for the collection, analysis and dissemination of rescue and survivor narratives and testimonials, the design and guidance of youth-driven
community research, the development of methods for evaluating artistic approaches to
peacebuilding, and the coordination and facilitation of international research initiatives and products. • Consultancy
Balkan Diskurs One of the initiatives PCRC works on is Balkan Diskurs, an online platform run by a regional network of young journalists and activists, which aims to address the lack of objective and alternative media. The platform provides a space free from
censorship to publish peoples’ opinions and analyses of current issues in the Western Balkans region.
Ordinary Heroes Ordinary Heroes is a
multimedia educational project that uses photos, films and youth workshops to tell the accounts of four post-conflict regions - Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Rwanda,
Cambodia, and post-
Holocaust Europe, through stories of rescue and courage with the aim to bolstering
tolerance, reconciliation and inter-ethnic cooperation. The project encompasses a documentary series that portrays real-life stories of Bosnian citizens who came to rescue others during the
war, workshops engaging local youth and a traveling photographic exhibition. Ordinary Heroes was designed by PCRC to foster social healing and
reconciliation among inter-groups in Bosnia, Europe and the world. == Awards and recognitions ==
