PROJECT A GLOBAL ETHIC IN A SCHOOL: INTEGRATING A GLOBAL ETHIC INTO EDUCATIONAL STRUCTURES AND PROCESSES IN BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA
Within the project of TPO Foundation, “A Global Ethic in a School: Integrating a Global Ethic into Educational Structures and Processes in Bosnia-Herzegovina”, done with the partnership of The Global Ethic Foundation from Tübingen, two publications are just published: “A Global Ethic: Documents – Establishment – Applications” and a reference book “A Global Ethic under the School Roof: A Manual for Integrating a Global Ethic into Teaching Processes” whose editor is Alen Kristić. With the help of these publications, the training of teachers of secondary schools would be initiated with the goal to introduce them to a global ethic and qualify them that they mediate principles and values of a global ethic to their students in a professional and systematic way.
