City Pristina/Mitrovica
Host Institution University of Pristina’s Faculty of Political Science/American Corner
Project Description This project is specifically designed to reach out to minority populations in Kosovo (Serbs, Roma, Turks, and Bosniacs) and to promote inter-ethnic cooperation and integration through the study and use of English. The current EL Fellow has been teaching at the Islamic Medressa in Pristina, at the American Corner in Serb-majority Mitrovica, at the University of Pristina and to Roma and Serbs in Gracanica. The response has been impressive, as members of these communities have asked for even more classes. The in-coming EL Fellow will continue this work and provide regular classes to these groups in support of building reconciliation, promoting respect for minority rights and settlement of ethnic conflicts through outreach programs. The EL Fellow will play a critical role in achieving mission and regional goals of minority outreach and economic development. Mitrovica is still a city divided along ethnic lines and conflict still flares up.[Click here to view full description] |
