ABOUT THE PROJECT
The school was organized within the RoSaE PROJECT: ROME AND SARAJEVO FOR EUROPE – A EUROPEAN “TREATY” OF AND FOR THE CITIZENS celebrating the 60th Anniversary from the adoption of the Treaty of Rome in 1957, as a follow up to the FLORENCE WINTER SCHOOL 2018: EUROPEAN VALUES, FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS AND HUMAN RIGHTS held from 12th to 16th of February 2018.
RoSae PROJECT is funded by the European Union and Coordinated by the Roma Capitale – The City of Rome; with the participation of the University of Sarajevo, the University of Florence, City of Sarajevo, the Istituto di Istruzione Superiore Statale Cine-tv Roberto Rosse, and the Indire Istituto Nazionale di Documentazione per l’innovazione from Rome.
The title of the project “RoSaE” recalls at the same time the Latin origin of Rome and the art installation called Sarajevo Roses (concrete scars caused by a mortar shell’s explosion that was filled with red resin to remember the civilian victims during the siege). Inspired by the experience, past and recent, of the war which concerned both cities, this project aimed at promoting the values of the pacific coexistence among peoples in a European perspective, by developing an ideal bridge between the capital of a founder country and the capital of a country having the potential accession candidate status.
The project raised awareness about the importance of the four freedoms introduced by the Treaties of 1957, as well as their essential contribution to the growth of a multicultural, democratic and free Europe where people can live peacefully. In the context of the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, the two cities share the spirit that inspired the Six, the founding states of the EU and at the same time, reflect on the perspective of a revitalization of the project of a European integration.
