The TPO Foundation, within the framework of the project “Local Communities for Social Cohesion” (LOC4SOC), with the support of the International Organization for Migration, conducted research on the attitude of adolescents towards minorities, especially migrants. The goal of the research was to examine the presence of stereotypes and prejudices and to determine what is needed to achieve social cohesion of minorities. The research was conducted in two phases. The first phase, the initial (baseline) research, mapped the attitudes of adolescents from primary schools towards minorities, in order to determine if and what kind of stereotypes they have and how much they know and accept others and others. After that, educational, cultural and sports activities were carried out with the aim of sensitizing adolescents, teaching and professional staff for intercultural competences. At the end of these activities, the research was repeated in order to determine whether there was a change in the attitudes of adolescents and their readiness to accept people from other cultures.
