About us
KUD Djerdan was founded in May of 2007 with the idea of using song and performing arts to preserve the roots of multinational Bosnian-Herzegovinian art and culture. The work began with a small number of enthusiasts of all ages who presented themselves as djerdan - a threaded necklace of different gems.
With the collaboration and volunteer support of our Bosnian community members in Ottawa, the organization has acquired folk costumes for all its members as well as a great deal of musical equipment. Through the use of folklore, drama and dance, they have united a community and preserved the customs and traditions of one country.
