How to Map out the Story

FAMA Methodology – Knowledge Transfer Module is seeking a transformation of education about the war, genocide and urban / civic / cultural resistance into a universal educational model through a unique platform for knowledge transfer. A methodology that detects "early warning signs" which break through the "information noise" to train individuals and equip society with the means to prevent the escalation of future/potential conflicts over the point of no return.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, like the entire region, which includes the former Yugoslav countries, is marked by the problems of overcoming the past that are reflected in the issues of justice, remembrance, denial and reconciliation.

For decades, a war of interpretation has been waged in this region. In the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with numerous special interests, it is easy to overlook the simplicity of the truth - which is clear when you consider only the facts.

As our contribution to determining the facts, as opposed to the existing political manipulation of history in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region, we are presenting the project:

• "Knowledge Transfer Module - The Dayton Peace Accords - The Art of Negotiations: How to End a War"

The Module was prepared in several formats, considering various possibilities of presenting the lectures and their aim and bearing in mind different target groups (students, Internet users, organizations, educational institutions, libraries, thematic conferences).

Knowledge Transfer Module can trace back its origins to 2000 when Miran Norderland and the FAMA Team obtained permission from Ambassador Richard Holbrooke and his publisher Random House to use his book “To End A War” for the creation of the FAMA Album: “The Dayton Peace Accords: Mapping Negotiations.” The project's objective was to visualize and contextualize the road to Dayton by mapping out the U.S. Shuttle Diplomacy and Peace Proximity Talks in Dayton so that they could be accessible to a broad audience. The Module presents an opportunity to learn about the art of negotiations, how to end a war and how such peace agreements are made.
