06. Feb 2025.

A group of 24 children of peer educators from six elementary schools, gathered within the project "Social Inclusion for a Dignified Life of Roma and Other Vulnerable Persons in Serbia 2023-2026", participated in the filming of inspiring short films. Short films are just one of the ways that these children use in activities aimed at preventing and combating discrimination. The scenario was realized through the forum theater model and brings strong messages about the importance of respect, tolerance and mutual understanding between people. The actions are focused on the challenges of children in situations of peer violence and the inclusion of diversity in schools.

Through this educational initiative, selected students took on roles in situations of discrimination, exploring different ways to confront exclusion and prejudice, and actively contribute to building a society of mutual respect and equality. These short films provide children with the opportunity to creatively demonstrate the importance of fighting discrimination and call for concrete actions to reduce deeply rooted prejudices in society.

These short films are available to the general public via social media and the official website of the Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization. We invite you to watch them at the following links and contribute to the spread of important values ​​in our community, from tolerance, empathy, equality to mutual respect.
