In the period from January to August 2024, the TPO Foundation implemented the Local Communities for Social Cohesion project with the support of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The goal of this project is to build stronger and more connected local communities through the education of teaching staff and youth from elementary schools, the promotion of tolerance and inclusiveness, and the encouragement of active participation of all community members. Through this project, the TPO Foundation strives to create the foundations for lasting peace and mutual understanding in society. Eighth-grade students and teaching staff from four elementary schools in Hadžići Municipality (four selected experimental classes) as well as children from the Ušivak Temporary Reception Center participated in the project activities. The entire publication is available at the link. One of the activities was a comic book making workshop, where students and minors from Center Ušivak designed comics on the following topics: discrimination, peer violence, modesty and empathy. This publication aims to bring the teaching staff closer to the usefulness of applying the comics method in teaching. The advantages of using comics as a teaching method are explained and examples of how to integrate comics as a method in different subjects are given.
