This two-year multilingual project brings together teachers and students in countries and areas throughout the Balkan region to explore their history, culture, teen life, dream school ideas, etc. Out of the on-line and face-to-face interaction will come curriculum materials on how to teach about the Balkans, respecting differences and building collaborative ways of working together in an ethnicly diverse area. These materials will be shared among schools throughout the region. Financial support for this project comes from the Open Society Institute. Some initial work is available on the WWW:
