Learning study on the achievements and experiences of projects on inter-ethnic education and youth w PDF Print E-mail

In November, 2009, InDevelop-IPM was assigned by Sida to plan and facilitate a learning process of the achievements and experiences of projects on inter-ethnic education and youth work in Macedonia. The overall purpose of carrying out this learning process was two-fold. Firstly, in the process of phasing out the Swedish support to Macedonia, Sida wanted have a better understanding of the achievements and lessons learned of the supported interventions within the area of human rights and social cohesion. Secondly, and more importantly, the purpose has also been to enhance the capacity and support networking for the future among key stakeholders within the specific area of inter-ethnic education and youth work in Macedonia.

The organizations being a part of the learning process have been: Search for Common Ground (with the project Mozaïk-bilingual kindergartens), Macedonian Centre for Human Rights and Conflict Resolution/ the Macedonian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights (with The School of Tolerance project), The Centre for Non-formal Education, Triagolnik (Triangle) with various initiatives and Cultures Project Association, CCPA (with the project Open Fun Football Schools, OFFS).

The second phase included field visits to Macedonia to Skopje, Gostivar, Tetovo, Kumanovo, Tearce, Brvenica and facilitated meetings with beneficiaries and stakeholders involved in the four different projects. During the third phase the team implemented a workshop including key stakeholders on interethnic relations in Macedonia.
