Memory and Media in the Western Balkans: Reporting & Storytelling
In the fist semester (A.Y. 2024-25) a group of students enrolled in the MA Relazioni internazionali e diplomazia (RID) and Human Rightsand Multilevel governance (HRG) attended the laboratory Memory and Media in the Western Balkans: Reporting & Storytelling (Scientific Coordinator: Prof. Benedetto Zaccaria).
The laboratory was held in collaboration with the think-thank Osservatorio Balcani Caucaso Transeuropa (OBCT) at the Centro per la Cooperazione Internazionale (CCI) in Trento (Italy). The Laboratory was focused on memory and media, as two of the most relevant issues in the current analysis of politics and society in Southeast Europe.
At the end of the Laboratory the students learned not only how to write a scientific report, but also how to turn this report into a videoclip. Three videos have been produced, which you can find available on the SPGI Department YouTube channel.
- Challenging the dominant memory in Bosnia and Herzegovina, written and produced by: Renzo Bresciani.
- Croatian Collective Memory. The case of Drago Hedl, written and produced by: Elina Kabanova, Matilde Lencioni, Alessia Pellicanó.
- Freedom of speech in Serbia. The case of Marko Vidojković, written and produced by: Elina Kabanova, Matilde Lencioni, Alessia Pellicanó
The Laboratory was funded by the University of Padova, within the project Sviluppare comunità di apprendimento: un percorso continuo, organized by the SPGI Department as part of the Progetto di Miglioramento della Didattica 2024.
