The 20th International Summer School Youth and Heritage will be organised between 24 July and 9 August 2025 in Sarajevo, Mostar and Stolac, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Introductory lectures will be held online between 3 July and 5 2025.
The International Summer School Youth and Heritage is an advanced educational platform that offers hands-on and interdisciplinary learning experience designed to immerse participants in the living realities of heritage. The curriculum is a unique combination of practical and theoretical learning methods, performed in Sarajevo, Mostar, and Stolac – historic Bosnian cities which suffered extensive damage during the early 1990s war. Since the end of the war, these cities have been a focus of post-war heritage reconstruction and social recovery. This environment provides students with personal experience of working and living in a context where heritage reconstruction is a factor of the necessarily long-term process of healing societal and cultural trauma. Spanning three weeks, the program blends online sessions, expert-led seminars, immersive fieldwork, practical craft workshops, and interactive cultural evenings—all carefully structured to create a dynamic and transformative journey.
The Twentieth International Summer School Youth and Heritage (ISSYH20) welcomes up to 30 dynamic young individuals aged 20 to 35, including students and emerging professionals with a passion for cultural heritage. To ensure full engagement in the program, participants should have a good command of English.
