2.c is doing a project on the theme: "War media and technology".
The subjects - psychology, biology and history are used in an interdiciplinary way to give an understanding of the civil war in Yugoslavia 1991-1995 - with special emphazise on the war in Bosnia & Hercegovina 1992-1995.
Psychology as a humanistic subject gives the students an opportunity to work with posttraumatic stress disorder.
- What is the definition of PSTD? How does it show and what can be done to overcome PSTD?
- Azra Hasanbegovic is working with PSTD among citizens who suffer from PSTD. She told the class about PSTD, and how to repatriate people in Bosnia and Hercegovina.
History also joined as a humanistic subject:
- Historiy has been working with the development of the Balkans from 1880-1918, 1918-1941, 1941-1945, 1945-1991. We now worked with the civil war in BiH. Everyone was impressed by the semidocumentary BBC-film: "Warriors", 1999. It showed how ethnic cleansening, in Vitez, was completed 1991-1992.
- Later on Karsten Fledelius gave an interesting lecture on the maintheme: "War and media". His mainpoint was that you always have to be suspicious, independant and critical when you try to understand politics through medias.
Biology, as a natural science, worked with body identification.
Later on the students have to defende their synopse in a oral examination.
For sure this project gives the danish students a broader understanding of BiH when they will visit the country October 2009.
