Project Description:
The main objectives of the programme are to promote the idea of an open democratic society, to raise the
awareness of multilingualism and multiculturalism in Vojvodina and to show that they are values of common
interest.
The programme includes the following projects:
Living together is a project aimed at secondary school students. The students prepared an exhibition on
the history of people living together in Vojvodina, including the historical development starting from
the 9th century, positive and negative examples of living together, cultural interfusions and results of
tolerant inter-ethnic relations in the 19th century and the experience after the Second World War and the
breakdown of Yugoslavia in recent times.
Check out this team! is a project for the production and distribution of a multi-media CD containing
educational material pertaining to the history, culture and tradition of national and ethnic communities in
the territory of Vojvodina. The material is distributed to upper primary students.
The cup of tolerance is a sport competition between schools with classes held in national minority
languages, with an accompanying cultural and entertainment programme.
The quiz "How well do we know each other?" is a quiz-competition for junior secondary school learners
about the history and culture of national communities living in Vojvodina.
The media campaign Multiculturalism in Vojvodina under the motto Different? - but also the same!
consists of the production and broadcasting of short video clips related to the traditions, cultures and
history of national and ethnic communities living in Vojvodina today via the major TV stations in
Vojvodina.
Interethnic cultural communication via the media is a project to establish a joint multiethnic television
desk for training local and regional media staff on the production of multilingual programmes.
Restoring good business habits is a project to introduce and revive multilingualism in the fields of
business and economy.
Lessons to be Learned:
In a region where the interethnic relationships are deeply disturbed by violent conflict experiences, it is of special
importance to bring people together and make them aware of shared historical experiences and cultural practices.
