After two successful pilot workshops in Portugal and Kenya, the process of the adaptation of the Learning to Live Together (LTLT) to middle childhood years continues, this time getting ready for a pilot in Bucharest, Romania!

In preparation for the pilot, a stakeholder meeting took place on Saturday 16 March in Bucharest organised by GNRC Romania and Education for Change Association in collaboration with the Ethics Education Office in order to fully understand the needs of local children, discuss the importance of Interfaith learning and ethics education in the country, and ways to introduce it in formal and non formal education in Romania with children of these ages.

The stakeholders attending the meeting included religious leaders, representatives from UNICEF, members from parents association, from the House of Methodist teachers, Institute of Educational Sciences, primary school teachers, inspectors counselors, non-government organisations working with Roma children, early childhood psychologists, the commission on child protection and members from the Global Network of Religions for Children in Romania.

The meeting produced thoughtful discussions and considerations for the adaptation of the LTLT to middle childhood years, and stakeholders expressed interest and commitment to support the implementation and scaling up of the LTLT in Romania into other organisations.

The pilot itself will take place on 18-20 April, involving 30 children from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.

A one full day preparatory meeting for the pilot took place today with the facilitators team that will lead, organize and implement the pilot with children.

We thank all those who were involved in this meeting and the facilitators’ team that will support the pilot in Romania. We are excited to continue sharing this process with you!

Stay tuned for more updates and pictures!
