LESSON
Lesson Learned: Learning and Living Democracy in Bosnia-Herzegovina
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. All participants involved in project activities have experienced mindset change within their own communities and in schools because they were exposed to new ways of addressing human rights practices.
