Architect and program manager working for CHwB since 2007.
In February 2014 appointed as a Head of Office.
For me heritage is living force, rooting us in our past and inspiring us to shape our future. I believe that all of us are finding piece of ourselves in it by rediscovering and reinterpreting it over and over, as heritage is integral part of our lives.

Immense gratitude goes to everyone individually!

Aida joined CHwB as a project manager. She was responsible for the development of museum cooperation and the Balkan Museum Network. Aida enjoyed designing new projects aimed to safeguard cultural heritage, increase the access of museum institutions and advocating equal access to culture and cultural heritage. Aida finished Faculty of Economics at the University of Sarajevo and Master Program “Cultural Projects for Development“ at the University of Torino and International Labour Organisation.

Employee from June 2014 to November 2017

Employee from November 2013 to February 2017, external associate until April 2018

Intern from November 2013 to July 2014

Due to my similar field of study (archaeology), my internship in the CHwB has contributed to a better understanding of the situation regarding cultural heritage in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially the archaeological heritage.  The actual internship in CHwB has helped me get a scholarship for further education outside Bosnia and Herzegovina.

I think that cultural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the ‘identity card’ of the country as well as of each individual who lives in it. Because of the diversity and richness of our cultural heritage, I think it is important to keep telling that it belongs to everyone who is living and those who will live.

Employee from June 2014 to September 2015

Working for CHwB expanded my knowledge of finance, but I was able to gain knowledge about the processes of preservation and restoration of cultural heritage monuments, as well as a broader understanding of the issues regarding the protection of cultural monuments in BiH.

Conservation and protection of cultural heritage contributes to preserving the identity of people living in BiH and also helps create a better image of our country– one that is known for its many cultural monuments and not just by conflict and destruction, which is unfortunately often emphasized.
