About
Why is it important?
A reform process is currently underway in the educational system of North Macedonia, opening opportunities to mainstream policies and practices that address anti-Semitism and other forms of intolerance. The authorities and other relevant stakeholders in the country have shown interest in co-operating with ODIHR and UNESCO in order to draw from the educational materials they have created on addressing anti-Semitism in the classroom. This workshop will provide ODIHR and UNESCO’s support in professional training for teachers, enabling those involved to learn from good practices on addressing anti-Semitism and other forms of intolerance.
Participants
The meeting will gather education stakeholders from North Macedonia:
- education policymakers
- teacher trainers
- educators
- other stakeholders, including representatives of the Jewish community and civil society organizations engaged in educational activities for tolerance and non-discrimination and human rights.
