The History of Kosovo of the 1960s and 1970s

The website “The history of Kosovo of the 1960s and 1970s” has been created by Qendra Multimedia, Prishtina. It was developed in the frame of the project “Kosovar history laboratory”, which took place from March until July 2009. www.kosovarhistory.com presents the history of the 1960s and 1970s in Kosovo in a new way. It presents it through short videos in which Kosovars tell about how they have experienced these two decades. The contemporary witnesses, who have been interviewed, tell about their family life at that time, their education, the working conditions, the process of modernization, about living together with other ethnic groups and important political events.
The project started with a training for students in the method of Oral History. Subsequently a selected group of students conducted a total of twelve interviews with Albanians, Roma and Turks in different places in Kosovo. The aim of the website is to create a more vivid and personal access to history in Kosovo and to give new insights to the history of this place.
