Our intention was simple: find out how people feel about their communities in Mostar. We wanted to close the gap between the local and the “external,” the world of ‘experts’: NGOs, development cooperation offices and foundations creating their own measurements for what progress, or a sign of “unity” looks like and feels like in our city. After all, 30 years post-war, we’re still working alongside the international community to try and rebuild the thriving sense of togetherness that our city was once known for. The issue, however, is in who defines what this looks and feels like. To do this, we, locals alongside the guidance of a knowledgeable colleague, worked as a team through “Everyday Peace Indicators,” (EPI) both an organization and a methodology whose approach prioritizes the voices and experiences of “everyday” people, meaning that local people themselves set the criteria through which later projects or practices in our community could be measured.
