“Cultural Reconciliation” Project – Phase II (Tripoli, 27/04/2010), (Zahle, 29/04/2010), (Tyre, 07/05/2010), (Beirut, 14/05/2010), (Mount Lebanon, 08/06/2010), (Nabatieh, 15/06/2010)

Series of workshops were organized by the Lebanese National Commission and Unesco Beirut Office, as a follow-up to, and way of reinforcing the outcomes of, phase one of the project “Lebanese Youth Cultural Reconciliation” for students (25/10/2008-24/01/2009). The workshops aimed at training as many teachers coming from public and private schools, located in the six Lebanese districts, and equipping them with the needed skills to have the concepts of the Cultural Reconciliation applied in their daily interaction with their students. The workshops ultimately intended to raise the students’ awareness with regards to heritage and religious diversity, cultural dialogue, acceptance of the other, also to enhance their citizenship and to reinforce synergy and cooperation between them.
