Today, we had the exceptional honor of hosting Christian Schwarz-Schilling, a man whose vision and determination were among the cornerstones of the creation of our institution. We experienced today’s visit not only as an act of respect but also as a reminder of what he did to

A poignant 80th anniversary commemoration of The Windermere Children's arrival in the Lake District, inc. opening of a memorial garden at The Lakes School, inspired by @TCS_Humanities' award winning design. A fitting & moving #HtFMeUs collaboration, on a very special day

Today at the Srebrenica Memorial, the first SrebrenicaKids summer programme for children aged 7 to 14 has begun. It focuses on exploring emotions, memories, communication, and Srebrenica from a child’s perspective. Taking part are children from Srebrenica, Bratunac, and Sarajevo.

Treći dan SrebrenicaKids provodimo sa Vildanom Brkić, akademskom slikarkom iz Sarajeva. Vildana će danas sa četredesetak mališana raditi na likovnim radovima i osmišljavanju ideja djece o tome kako gledaju na prostor i osjećanja oko njih. Radovi djece sa programa SrebrenicaKids

Hvala dječacima i djevojčicama koji su posljednja četiri dana učestvovali na prvom SrebrenicaKids. Memorijalni centar Srebrenica je otvorena institucija, mjesto u kojem nove generacije mogu da uče i saznaju, gdje je svaki glas bitan i svako je jednako važan. Vidimo se opet.

Četvrti dan smo posvetili vajarstvu i perspektivi djece o Srebrenici i okolini kroz oblikovanje gline. Umjetnici i umjetnice Amra Murtić, Berina Šuvalija i Faris Hadžihasanović vodili su završnu vajarsku radionicu: "Svi radovi sa radionica tvore sjajan materijal za jednu vrhunsku

Thank you to all who stood with us then, and now. This tree is for every story shared, every hand extended, and every lesson passed on.

In July, we planted a cherry tree outside Newcastle Civic Centre to mark 30 years since the genocide in Bosnia, and to honour the welcome our community received here. What began with loss and displacement has grown into something rooted in memory, truth, and solidarity.

This cherry tree is a tribute to their strength. It reflects how far we’ve come: from refugees to founders of the @BGET_UK, which has grown into a true community project, built on shared memory, mutual support, and a commitment to educating future generations.

In summer ’93, my dad & all the men in my family were taken to concentration camps. My mam, siblings & I were rounded up & sent to a “collection centre,” where she was forced to sign over everything we owned to the local council “for safekeeping.”

Andy’s determination, compassion, and commitment to remembrance inspire us all. Thank you, Andy — and to everyone supporting his journey. 👉 If you’d like to support Andy, you can do so here:

We are incredibly proud of our trustee Andy Lie, who completed an extraordinary 100-mile run in just 48 hours — with barely 20 minutes of sleep. Every step was dedicated to the memory of those killed in Srebrenica, and to raising funds for our new 2026 Educational Trip Fund.

It was great to catch up with Andy today and hear how he got on. If you’d like to support Andy, then you can do so here. @BGET_UK https://t.co/PqPpG8zmZc
