How did it all start?• working with children from Roma
Community Centre in Mali Mokri Lug (Belgrade suburbs)

“When they tell me that I’m a Gipsy, I feel very bad, like I worth nothing… They tell me “You’re a Gipsy” and that offends me. I tell them back “You’re Serbs” and that does not offend them! It’s really stupid…”
(10 years old Roma boy)

The “Alphabet of Tolerance” with children was first time realized
in Mali Mokri Lug, in 2001
![Page 10: Do you know who these people are? Some of over 300 school teachers, principals, psychologists, pedagogues and other experts who work in one of 40 primary](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042814/551639b5550346c6758b5101/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Discrimination… that is… I think, some kind of disc, with confidential codes, that someone has to steel. It’s sort of crime.”
(9 years old girl)
I think that discrimination is segregating and
neglecting people, because of their
height, sex or religion.”

Teacher training• we wanted to include as many children as possible• realized in 2002, for the first time
aiming to• Increase participants’ knowledge on social phenomena
such as prejudices, discrimination, violence, tolerance, cooperation, on how to make a distinction between positive and negative ones and react upon each one of them adequately and constructively
• Improve participants’ skills regarding interactive group work methodology – it’s basic principles and values and ways to use it in their classrooms

How does the Training look like?
• tri-modular educational course• running the 12 workshops with pupils• teachers’ work as workshop facilitators

In 2002, the “Alphabet of Tolerance” was for the first time accredited by the Ministry of Education and included into the Catalogue, as one of the programs recognized and recommended for further professional improvement of experts who work in schools.

Manual, containing

12 workshops to be run with
children

In 2006, another new element was added to the program: school actions, with an aim to strengthen connections between schools and their local communities and raise awareness of wider audience concerning incidence of discrimination and violence in schools, an existing need and possible ways to fight them.

What did participants benefit from “Alphabet of Tolerance”?
“Participating in “Alphabet of Tolerance” helped me to improve communication
with my pupils, to understand their needs better, to enjoy in my job more, to realize
how stimulative interactive methodologies are and that children can
be very successful in finding out solutions for certain situations themselves.”
