User’s Guide for FAMA Educational Package

While creating the educational package, it became clear that, alongside all its components, a User Guide was needed, something that would provide anyone who receives the package (librarian, educator, professor, researcher) with a clear overview of its contents. This easy-to-navigate guide helps users find exactly what they need within the package or determine what is appropriate for a specific educational level or library section.

Once again, the methodology emerged organically from the material itself, showing us the pathway. It is worth emphasising here that every research material offers essential opportunities for knowledge transfer. All that’s required is an open mind and the ability to connect facts. We also believe that proven, successful models should not be applied uncritically, as they were developed under different circumstances and are not necessarily suited to every type of content. Since no research subject is ever the same, each involves different contexts, time frames, participants, causes, and consequences; every new topic calls for its own methodology. That’s the principle we followed.

Note:
All of these projects have since demonstrated that this method is key to documenting events if we want our efforts to serve as a meaningful contribution to the interpretation and understanding of the 1991–1999 period in the former Yugoslavia, for both local and global education. This project has already proven and continues to prove its value as a contribution to the process of truth and reconciliation, as well as to the democratisation of post-war society.
