THE PERSPECTIVES OF RECONCILIATION AND HEALING AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IN VUKOVAR (CROATIA)

Abstract

We examined social psychological factors that may contribute to the restoration of the intergroup relationship between young ethnic Croats and Serbs in the city of Vukovar (Croatia), and the projects proposed by non-governmental organizations aimed at re-establishing inter-group relations. A number of in-depth interviews were conducted with representatives of civic organizations in Vukovar. Findings illustrate that different strategies and activities are used by community organizations, involving a relatively small number of participants, who do not have a developmental plan in place to follow young people after the termination of a project. We feel that new and coherent strategies and facilities for youth work are urgently needed in the region to prevent deal with current trauma and to prevent future violence.
