Sarajevo is a city of good people

The 4th Annual FEDU has lined up the best plays from BiH and the region, with the aim of offering kids events that will “awaken the great and noble people they are inside.”

- We merge theater, books, fine arts and music through plays, workshops, exhibits, fairy tale writing contests and pop-rock competitions, so that children are not just observers, but active festival participants.

Rich history

He says it is great that city museums have recently been reaching out to kids, and it bothers him that historical monuments, like Vraca Memorial Park and the one at the site of the Sarajevo Assassination, have been abandoned and left to go to ruin.

- Museums show how strong our culture is, and how rich our history is. The Historical Museum of BiH is very important, the National Museum is one of Europe’s best, the War Childhood Museum tells a serious story, which serves as a warning for young generations.

He feels that Sarajevo reflects the experience of the entire world.

- If you put your ear to the ground at some of the overlooks around town, it’s like you can hear sounds of distant history: the tapping of a hammer on Kazandžiluk St., a town crier announcing some news, the cannon on Žuta Tabija, which is festive and mild, calm and endearing to all faiths….

Fahrudin has come to the conclusion that the city has something special that can be felt when first looking upon its buildings from various historical periods, while walking through parks, talking to people….

- I usually show my guests the city from a vantage point, and Sarajevo is different from every side. This mighty, energetic city is always pulsating and changing.
