Build bridges, not walls

Bygg broer, ikke murer

Genre: Non-Fiction

Year: 2007

Build bridges, not walls contains about 100 concrete exercises in human rights, multicultural understanding and peaceful conflict resolution, in addition to short, but thorough introductions to the themes. This is an important toolbox for all educators.

The exercises can be used in many connections. They are a resource for teachers both in primary and secondary schools as well as in high schools, for adult educators, for non-governmental organizations, for youth leaders and everyone who organizes courses of different kinds. The participating methods run like a scarlet thread throughout the book. The exercises are suggestive, exiting, funny, challenging and full of knowledge. This type of education is something different: As seventeen year old Jasmina said: – This was a different kind of school!
