University of Sarajevo supports the project "Cultural Collision BiH"

The University of Sarajevo has recognized and supported the project "Cultural Collision BiH 2020-2021", which is being implemented in cooperation with CERN, the Austrian Cultural Forum, DAAD. The realization of this project started in November 2020, and its realization is coming to an end.

It is a project whose idea is to inspire teams of young people, high school and university students, to work on scientific topics under the supervision of scientists and artists. The ultimate goal is to create artistic videos or digital works of art that illustrate their interdisciplinary dialogue (science and art). The target audience of the final digital works of art are other pupils and students, as well as members of the general public.

The project in BiH includes six cities with a total of 11 teams, with over 100 high school students and slightly fewer students.

At the initiative of the participants in this project, an agreement on cooperation was signed between BiH and CERN.

The Sarajevo team consists of six high school students, five students from the Academy of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and one elementary school student. The supervisors of the Sarajevo team are Dr. Dževdeta Dervić from the Second Gymnasium, Nedim Šećeragić from the Academy of Fine Arts and Prof. Dr. Azra Gazibegović - Busuladžić from the Department of Physics, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Sarajevo.

The presentation of the final art videos of all BiH teams will be held on June 18, starting at 1:00 PM (for high school audiences and students), and the official event for honorary guests will begin the same day at 16:30. The event will be of a hybrid character, and participants will come from Banja Luka, Sarajevo and Mostar.

All those interested will be able to join via the zoom platform. More on the website: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1047913/
