SECOND WORLD ETHOS WORKSHOP FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN
CENTRAL BOSNIA CANTON


The second world ethos workshop for secondary schools in Central Bosnia Canton was held on March 17 and 18, 2018 in Vitez. The participants emphasized that it is important to be reminded of universal ethical principles in life, because we are aware that the media, political and other representatives disseminate daily heavily-divisive and negative information. 
Aside from relaying religious facts on ethics and universality, guest lecturers from the Catechetic Office and Islamic Community used personal examples of their cooperation and friendship to show how people can differ in their religious views without being divided and distanced.

Sarajevo team of lecturers presented the world ethos program practically and theoretically in the past few days, by offering simple examples through didactic materials for education in schools, because ethos can exist in every school subject. The participants suggested that world ethos could be presented to students through mobile exhibitions, mobile schools or some other kind of cooperation intended to connect young people from different parts of BiH. Regardless of the fact that this was the last world ethos workshop for the 2017/2018 academic year in Central Bosnia Canton, ETOS team and TPO Foundation will bear these suggestions in mind as they continue creating new activities in this canton.
