This piece was written after spending time in Sarajevo with teachers and young people, walking a city where history is not sealed in museums but lives in streets, rivers, and everyday conversations. Notes from Sarajevo reflects on memory, language, and the long afterlife of violence — how wars continue through denial, silence, and the stories we choose to tell or avoid. It considers what Sarajevo can teach us about education, truth, and responsibility in a time shaped by misinformation, resurgent nationalism, and distant yet intimate conflicts, and why paying attention to how we remember still matters. It was published by Bella Caledonia November 2025.
