Indicator history

Within the recent project on education for intercultural relations and active citizenship (2010-2011), run by two academic institutions (Educational Research Institute and Research Center of the Slovenian Academy of Science and Arts), a number of good practices  within individual elementary and secondary schools (and non-governmental organisations working with children and young people in the field of intercultural relations) have been identified and presented. Mostly the schools with good practices in the field of intercultural relations are those with significant number of pupils/students with minority/migrant background. Good practices include  engagement of teachers in attempst to develop and test elements of potential curricula for new subjects such as Intercultural education, organisation of cultural and social events  in schools, which include students and parents (e.g music events, cooking of food from various countries), which promote interculturalism, language courses (Slovenian language, minority languages), special efforts of school libraries to provide books in mother languages of pupils/students and organise events for children and parents,  regular work with parents and support to them in integration etc.
