About
Overview:17 years after the Dayton Peace Agreement, the society in BiH remains fragmented, divided and unable to trust its neighbor from a different ethnic background. The education system has for the last 15 years been faced with issues of fragmentation, politicization, and drop in quality provision. The school system is ethnically defined and divided. There is insufficient cultural knowledge considering the rich cultural heritage of BiH. The Joint Programme (JP) was conceived on the basis of strengthening the culture and education sector in order to achieve sustainable development and an intercultural and tolerant society. The JP is structured around 4 outcomes aiming at mutual interaction and policy testing. The policy level intertwined grass-roots action with projects aiming at vertical integration across governmental layers. Under the first outcome, national plans for the culture and education sectors were established. Studies were done on two World Heritage sites. 3,027 teachers were trained on interculturalism reaching 53,800 children in 84 schools. The second outcome led to mapping and implementation of 40 projects undertaken with the objective to improve cross-cultural understanding in local communities, and included the involvement of the educational sector. The third outcome was similar to the second, in that 40 projects were undertaken, but in this case activities involved the use of cultural assets in order to develop economic benefits and to provide employment (over 1,000 jobs temporarily created). The various institutions and entities of BiH contributed with US$ 2.5 million for the reconstruction of cultural heritage. The fourth outcome achieved some results in behavioural change towards increased tolerance for diversity as a result of the communication campaign based on documentary films launched in the school system. Overall, strategic planning and development of methodologies for data collection in culture and education sectors directly strengthened the local actors: municipalities, schools, school children, civil society, cultural institutions, industries and workers. The JP was able to contribute to the creation of national plans, and increase the capacity to obtain baseline information. Furthermore, the education system was one vector of dissemination of tolerance and respect for diversity through specific and varied activities. Increased awareness both at the general public and at the institutional level was obtained through a better understanding of the importance of cultural heritage and how cultural assets are opportunities for sustainable development.
