Event News Progressive Peace Policy ConFESsions Vodcast: New Episode with Jasminko Halilović (War Childhood Museum) 25.03.2022 asminko Halilović is the director of the War Childhood Museum in Sarajevo. The Museum tells stories of what is a childhood during armed conflict, starting with the children of Sarajevo in the 90s through personal items and stories of the war-time children willing to share. The critical value of the Museum, as Jasminko notes, is that these exhibitions do not evoke the feelings of pitying the victims; it instead helps them regain their dignity and honors their resilience. Watch the new episode on the ConFESsions Vodcast YouTube channel. The War Childhood Museum opened an office in 2020 in Kyiv. The Kyiv Museum hosted exhibitions made out of items of Ukrainian war-children because the invasion of Ukraine started before February 2022.

He spoke of the necessity for long-term peacebuilding and consistency, the importance of shared values, and how art contributes powerfully to these efforts.
