EDUCATION FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE

The main objective of the project was to promote equality and diversity in the education system in Kosovo, by building the capacities of actors in the field of social justice. The “Education for Social Justice” program was a training program aimed at creating critical awareness to understand cultural, linguistic and ethnic diversity as human values. Acceptance of others without prejudice, being tolerant and open, should be essential features of every citizen and condition for the establishment of a democratic society.
