strpnost je kul / tolerance is cool

Strpnost je kul je bil vzgojno-izobraževalni in ozaveščevalni projekt Društva Eksena, namenjen zmanjševanju nestrpnosti, sovražnega govora in socialnega izključevanja med učenci prve in druge triade osnovne šole. Projekt je naslavljal zgodnje oblike diskriminacije na podlagi kulturnih, etničnih in drugih osebnih okoliščin ter spodbujal razumevanje temeljnih vrednot Evropske unije, zlasti strpnosti, enakosti in človekovih pravic.

V sodelovanju s partnerjem Zavodom Eksena Records smo razvili pedagoški priročnik, izvedli izobraževalne seminarje za pedagoške delavce ter pripravili interaktivne video učne vsebine za otroke. Osrednji del projekta je predstavljala inovativna skupinska uprizoritvena predstava o strpnosti, ki je otrokom omogočila aktivno, ustvarjalno in izkustveno učenje. Cilj projekta je bil okrepiti socialne veščine otrok, izboljšati medsebojne odnose v šolskem okolju ter pedagoškim delavcem zagotoviti trajnostna orodja za preventivno delo na področju strpnosti in preprečevanja sovražnega govora.

Kaj smo dosegli

• Okrepili smo razumevanje strpnosti in vrednot EU pri več kot 300 otrocih, ki so se naučili bolj spoštljivega in konstruktivnega izražanja mnenj.
• Usposobili smo preko 70 pedagoških delavcev za delo z občutljivimi temami, večina jih bo razvita gradiva uporabljala tudi po zaključku projekta.
• Razvili smo celovit pedagoški priročnik in multimedijska gradiva, ki so brezplačno dostopna in dolgoročno uporabna v šolah in drugih okoljih.
• Izvedli smo uprizoritvene predstave o strpnosti, skozi katere so otroci aktivno raziskovali odnose, različnost in reševanje konfliktov.
• Dosegli smo tudi otroke iz ranljivejših okolij, vključno z dnevnimi centri, ter okrepili njihovo socialno vključenost in samozavest.

Tolerance Is Cool was an educational and awareness-raising project implemented by the Eksena Association, aimed at reducing intolerance, hate speech, and social exclusion among pupils in the first and second stages of primary school. The project addressed early forms of discrimination based on cultural, ethnic, and other personal circumstances, while promoting the core values of the European Union, particularly tolerance, equality, and human rights.

In cooperation with the partner organisation Eksena Records Association, the project developed a pedagogical handbook, delivered training seminars for educational staff, and produced interactive video learning materials for children. The central component of the project was an innovative group performance on tolerance, which enabled children to engage in active, creative, and experiential learning. The project aimed to strengthen children’s social skills, improve interpersonal relationships in the school environment, and provide educators with sustainable tools for preventive work in the field of tolerance and the prevention of hate speech.

What we achieved

• We strengthened understanding of tolerance and EU values among more than 300 children, who learned to express their opinions in a more respectful and constructive way.
• We trained over 70 education professionals to work with sensitive topics, with most of them planning to continue using the developed materials after the project’s completion.
• We developed a comprehensive educational handbook and multimedia materials, which are freely accessible and designed for long-term use in schools and other settings.
• We delivered participatory theatre performances on tolerance, through which children actively explored relationships, diversity, and conflict resolution.
• We reached children from vulnerable backgrounds as well, including those attending day-care centres, and strengthened their social inclusion and self-confidence.
