On 23 June 2020 the Horizontal Facility II action Quality Education for All in Bosnia and Herzegovina organized an online training for 41 teachers, school directors and pupils from pilot schools across BiH including from Čapljina, Derventa, Goražde, Ljubuški, Mostar, Prijedor, Trebinje, Zenica and Zvornik.

The aim of the training was to provide an overview of the Council of Europe’s Reference framework of competences for democratic culture, its methodology, significance and practical ways in which the competences can be used to develop and enhance democratic school culture. Participants attending the webinar were provided in advance with access to video materials produced within the project. The videos address key points regarding the CDC Framework including attitudes, values, skills and knowledge. 

In the follow-up session to take place on 30 June 2020, participants will further discuss different ways and exemplary practices of implementing the CDC in their schools and local communities with the goal of improving the quality of education, understanding and co-operation.

The action “Quality Education for All” in Bosnia and Herzegovina is implemented under the joint European Union / Council of Europe Horizontal Facility for Western Balkans and Turkey 2019-2022, aiming to foster a quality education for all by promoting inclusion and solutions to address discrimination in the education system.
