Saving What Matters

Saving What Matters builds partnerships between Bosnian and American students through the drive to preserve heritage practices.

We are a small team of graduate students from the US and from Bosnia that are united by a common thread- a deep love and respect for local heritage practices and the people that keep them alive. #savingwhatmatters #myculturemystory #worldlearning

Check out "Storying the Cultural Heritage" -- a project that explores the use of Digital Storytelling in combination with the digital resources of the @SmithsonianLab. Just one of many excellent resources shared on the #EDENChat discussion today #DigitalStorytelling. https://t.co/8CYwxVGAHr

Celebrating! @GoucherCollege students met with their colleagues in Bosnia & Herzegovina to share digital stories and exchange strategies for leveraging digital storytelling for cultural heritage preservation. #SavingWhatMatters #myculturemystory @WorldLearning

Can you believe how the time has flown? We are spending our final morning at Sarajevo University presenting our research. Sharing #digitalstories and learning from one another: That's what cultural exchange is all about.

Such a treat to visit Visoko and Lijesevo with a local guide and be welcomed into people's homes to see crafts (old +new) being done. #myculturemystory #traditionalpottery #Bodga #CHwB @WorldLearning @SaveWhatMatters

Meeting people, hearing about cultural traditions, and experiencing the beautiful city of Sarajevo. #myculturemystory #bosniancoffee @WorldLearning @SaveWhatMatters

The beautiful view in Visoko. We spent the morning seeing pottery made in the traditional Bosnian way... And possibly left with too much pottery of our own! Hopefully our suitcases are big enough... #oops #myculturemystory @WorldLearning

After a tour through Old Town Sarajevo, we're relaxing with a cup of coffee and a rooftop view at Hotel Hecco #day3 #myculturemystory

Welcome dinner in Sarajevo? Check ☑️. We're well rested now and ready for a day of exploring the city. The rain can't stop us! #savingwhatmatters #myculturemystory

Only FIVE DAYS until our US team will travel to #Bosnia to learn more about local heritage practices through our partnership with @WorldLearning and Cultural Heritage Without Borders. We can't wait!

Many years ago small rural community #schoolhouses such as this one were built in #Dorchester County #Maryland bringing with them public education opportunities for the children of farmers and #watermen - Glenn

Oral History is a vital part of keeping one's heritage and cultural history alive. Check out how the Bowling Green Bosnia Oral History Project is making sure a generation's stories get told:
