The project encouraged cross cultural cooperation and transcended ethnic lines. Putting together children from different ethnic backgrounds working on issues related to human rights had immediate effects on attitudes.

LESSON
Lesson Learned: Learning and Living Democracy in Bosnia-Herzegovina
Although the project aimed to specifically address the needs of children with special needs and from Roma minorities, it struggled to identify these groups as participants since they are mostly absent from schools. Since the project strategy relied on working with official education authorities this was a weakness.
