The workshop was co-organized by the Lebanese National Commission and Unesco Beirut Office and catered for a group of teachers representing a number of public and private schools, as well as educational agglomerates from the six Lebanese districts. The workshop aimed at introducing the concepts and information tackled by the publication, also at encouraging teachers to use the publication as a reference in their school work, in order to raise students’ awareness regarding religious and cultural diversity in Lebanon.

The Lebanese National Commission for UNESCO is a national body that liaises between the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as well as the Arab League Educational Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) and the Anna Lindh Euro-Mediterranean Foundation for the Dialogue between Cultures (ALF) on one side, and the national official departments and the Lebanese civil society on the other side, in the areas of education, sciences, culture and communication.
In assuming the roles of liaison, consultation, and communication, also mobilizing and coordinating partnerships with the civil society, the Lebanese National Commission renders substantial contributions to the implementation of UNESCO, ALECSO and ALF programs and to the dissemination of their values and objectives.
