       This workshop series aimed to improve the psychosocial functioning of schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina; to create a safe, supportive and motivating environment for all students; and to provide  basic educational and psychosocial assistance to children with special needs. The goal was to protect and promote children's well-being in the school environment in general and to contribute to the social reconstruction and development of the country.  By opening new horizons and giving educators the tools to promote student self-awareness, critical thinking, reasoned decision-making, civic responsibility, and adaptability to a rapidly changing world, these workshops  help teachers and administrators provide education that will equip students with the academic knowledge, life skills, and thirst for lifelong learning that they will need in order to become successful adults, partners, parents, employees, citizens, voters, community members and leaders in the future. The seminars for educators are participative and interactive, demonstrating the same kinds of multi-modal teaching techniques that are proposed for the teachers to use with their students.
