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 third training 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 – presenteda project of a global ethic to teachers of secondary schools and worked on the demonstration of double lessons. The training was attended by 20 teachers and pedagogues 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. By a global ethic we do not mean a global ideology or a single unified religion beyond all existing religions, and certainly not the domination of one religion over all others. By a global ethic we mean a fundamental consensus on binding values, irrevocable standards, and personal attitudes. A Global Ethic concept remains on two pillars: 1. the principle of

humanity: “Every human being must be treated humanely.”; 2. the ethic of reciprocity or the “Golden Rule”: “What you wish done to yourself, do to others!”. Moreover, there are four essential affirmations of a Global Ethic: commitment to a culture of non-violence and respect for life, commitment to a culture of solidarity and a just economic order, commitment to a culture of tolerance and a life of truthfulness, and commitment to a culture of equal rights and partnership between men and women.

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, 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”.
