KULTURNO-PROSVJETNO DJELOVANJE „GAJRETA“ U OKRUGU TUZLA U AUSTROUGARSKOM PERIODU
THE CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY OF „GAJRET“ IN TUZLA DISTRICT DURING THE AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN PERIOD

Summary/Abstract: The activity of cultural and singing societies and reading rooms, despite all their results, could not make a significant step forward in educational and cultural field. A significant number of both rural and urban population remained outside of any effective cultural and social activitiy. Only educated, culturally enlightened and nationally conscious population was able to grasp fully the importance and necessity of cultural activity and education of the population. That resulted the establishment of cultural and educational associations on an ethnic/national level -the organizations that came out beyond their own locality and had made significant achievements in the field of enlightenment on the whole territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. By the establishment of “Gajret”, despite many problems, ambivalences and disagreements, it was possible to unite the Muslim population in Bosnia and Herzegovina and to achieve significant results in cultural and educational field. In the district of Tuzla “Gajret” made significant progress and results in enlightenment and education of the Bosniak population.
