KLAUDIJA BILIC-SELMANOVIC
Founder of Viartdukt
​
My professional career made me discover my passion for social change projects:
Initially as a project manager in the international and disaster aid of Caritas of the Archdiocese of Vienna, later as the education officer for the Austrian Ministry of Knowledge and the association OeAD-Kulturvermittlung as head of the regional offices in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sarajevo and then as the founder and managing director of education / culture - and reconciliation project Superar in Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as the network "B#ART" I finally found my calling.
SUPERAR in BiH and B#ART are projects that offer children and young people free art / music education, strengthen social integration processes and contribute to reconciliation in the region.
I work passionately to strengthen society from within through arts and education, with the aim of supporting reconciliation and peace through social change and civil society engagement.
