Teacher Training Novi Pazar
25/26 November
The Teacher Training event in Novi Pazar was the first local training session in which the participants came from multi-ethnic communities, populating the area of Sanzak. The workshop profited from the diversity of participants finding common ways of preparing the ground for a peaceful future.
Several teachers emphasised the importance of the “Alternative Teaching Material” in counteracting stereotypes and hate speech and facilitating a less conflict-laden future for the new generation. The new methodology was perceived as a challenging new way to enrich teaching.
The event was implemented with the kind financial support of the National Endowment for Democracy and the Open Society Institute Serbia.
