To mark the completion of the video-life stories project Croatian Memories (CroMe) the Erasmus Studio will host the international, multi-disciplinary conference "Digital Testimonies on War and Trauma" at the Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, The Netherlands, from 12-14 June 2013.

The conference intends to be a meeting point for those interested in and engaged with audio visual testimonies related to war and peace, trauma and memory and history and remembrance. Special attention will be devoted to personal narratives from the Western Balkan region and to testimonies created in the courtroom in the context of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.

Researchers and practitioners working with oral history, archives and ICT, be it from an academic, educational, journalistic or human rights perspective, are cordially invited to participate and sign up.

The registration fee is €75 for three days and for (PhD) students no fee will be charged when a copy of a student ID is submitted. See http://digitaltestimonies2013.wordpress.com/registration/ for more information.
