Тhe school clubs supported by the Strengthening Multiethnic Cooperation in Municipalities Project, were attended by students who otherwise follow the teaching process in different languages of instruction. Such activities enable students from different ethnic backgrounds to get to know each other better and cooperate on different initiatives, under the mentorship of their teachers who also teach in different languages of instruction.
This year, the Project supported joint clubs in 27 primary schools throughout the Republic of North Macedonia, covering over 2,700 students. The main goal of this Project is to improve the interethnic integration in education through implementation of curricular and extracurricular activities with students from different ethnic backgrounds, thus contributing to the strengthening of the multiethnic cooperation in the municipalities. The project is implemented by the Macedonian Civic Education Center, in partnership with the key educational institutions and nine municipalities in the Republic of North Macedonia
This activity is part of the Strengthening Multiethnic Cooperation in Municipalities Project, funded by the Pestalozzi Children’s Foundation.
