One World in Schools

The One World in Schools project uses the outstanding potential of documentary films and other audiovisual resources to educate and train young people.

The aim of the project is to foster tolerant, intercultural communication among young people and to educate them on the protection of human rights through screenings of documentary films and other audiovisual resources as well as through subsequent discussions, accompanying publications and interactive methods.

Documentary films and other audiovisual materials have the potential to encourage pupils and students to reflect on the values of an open, tolerant and democratic society. They also help them to seek connections and form their own opinions. Individual project activities expand their social, cultural and historical knowledge and awareness.

At present, project materials are being used by more than 2,600 Czech schools, i.e. by every second school in the Czech Republic.
