The "The Little Book of Strategic Peacebuilding – A Vision and Framework for Peace with Justice," written by Lisa Schirch, was promoted last weekend in Banja Luka in the cafe Cafe&Chillout within the National and University Library RS.  The event was organized by the Peace Academy Foundation (PAF) from Sarajevo and the Center for Informative Decontamination of Youth from Banja Luka. 

Amer Tikveša, Executive Director of PAF, Randall Puljek-Shank, a member of the PAF Board of Directors, and Aleksander Trifunović, Head Editor of Buka, talked about the publication about about the idea of peace, and agreed that the subject is very hard to define in the context of strategic peacebuilding.

Ubleha for idiots

  • CSologist

    Stems from CS which is an acronym in BCS language for Civil Society. The CSologist knows everything about civil society (CS) that a citizen must not even think of knowing. The CSologist has been in civil society for years now, and s/he has acquired priceless experience which, earlier, in the totalitarian regime (See) could neither be discussed nor studied. Every word s/he utters is worth committing to memory.
