Within the project “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, the second treining of teachers in Canton Tuzla had been held in Tuzla in hotel “Miris dunja 88” on Saturday and Sunday on September 12 and 13, 2015. Alen Kristic, Monja Suta-Hibert and Ivana Krstanovic – a professional team of TPO Foundation Sarajevo – presented a

project of a global ethic to teachers of secondary schools and worked on the demonstration of double lessons. The training was attended by 19 teachers and pedagogues, a program director of TPO Foundation Zilka Spahic-Siljak, and an adviser for education of the Pedagogical Institute of Tuzla Canton Izet Numanovic, who in the second day gave lecture on the theme “The Correspondence of the Relation Between Ethic and Educational System(s)”.

Alen Kristic introduced teachers with the concept of a global ethic, whose founder is a Catholic theologian Hans Küng, who encourages on commitment around a comprehensive peace and sustainable reconciliation of peoples and claims that there is no survival without a global ethic and requires a coalition of believers and non-believers. The origin of the idea of a global ethic is closely related to world religions, but a global ethic is understood as an ethical basis that beyond religion

includes humanistic ethos withouta religious foundation. A project of a Global Ethic actually endeavors for peace between religions, cultures and nations on the basis of several common and fundamental ethical values, standards and attitudes, which is in line with the life credo of Hans Küng: “I hope for the unity between the churches. I hope for peace between religions. I hope for unity between nations.”

Kristic gave lectures on the following themes: “A Global Ethic: Rules of the Globalized World”, “A Global Ethic – Jewish, Christian, Islamic and Philosophical Foundation”, “A Global Ethic in BiH – Contextualization and Application”, and “A Global Ethic Against Contemporary Issues”. Monja Suta-Hibert introduced us with lectures on the theme “A Global Ethic as a Pedagogical Project”, showed a video “The Lie We Live” and short movie “The Hate Machine”, and together with Ivana Krstanovic worked on the demonstration of four double lessons. After each double lesson, double conclusion and review of all the dimensions of the implementation of the particular double lesson was done. Moreover, Ivana Krstanovic presented the

Initiative ETOS (Initiative for Ethical, Transcultural and Educational Cooperation), which is actually a unique bh. platform whose activities and multimedia content would be in the service of the culture of education, learning and life, and which seeks to encourage integration of different educational materials and work methodologies in as many school subjects as possible, as well as acquisition and improving certain competences of teachers, pedagogues and social workers in the field of ethics, education about universal ethical values and interreligious competences through interactive workshops, the online platform “etos.ba” and media pedagogy.

The main aim of the project of a global ethic is to introduce teachers of secondary schools 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. The training was organized with the approval of the Ministry of

Education,Science, Culture and Sport of Tuzla Canton, and the Pedagogical Institute of Tuzla Canton on the recommendation of the minister Mirsad Kunic. Participants received certificates for the successful completion of the two-day training – teaching unit “A Global Ethic in School”.
