Saranda Bogujevci told the students about what she had experienced as a thirteen-year-old girl on March 28^th, 1999, and about her recovery and the long-lasting struggle for truth and justice before courts in Serbia and Canada.

Saranda took the students for a tour around the Manchester Peace Park in Podujevo/Podujeve, where a memorial was erected to honour the memory of the members of the Bogujevci, Duriqi and Llugialiu families, who were killed by members of the ‘Scorpions’ unit on March 28^th, 1999. Besides this, the students also visited the garden dedicated to peace and the memory of the victims, in the creation of which hundreds of volunteers from Great Britain and Kosovo participated; and they also visited a number of art pieces created by children who participate in the art workshops organized every summer in the Peace Park.
