Andrej Nosov

Andrej is the Director of Heartefact, an organization that connects arts with politics to support, develop, and empower critical thinking and reconciliation in the Balkans. Together with the Heartefact team, Andrej focuses on re-examining the role of the citizen observer in building a responsible post-conflict society. Among his many initiatives, Andrej is especially proud of having founded the Youth Initiative for Human Rights, which focuses on building connections and establishing cooperation between young people from different ethnic groups across the Balkans. Andrej believes that we must remember our own violent histories to create a new Europe and not repeat the past.
