Now the Norwegian teachers be taught anti-racism. - We can not prevent a new Breivik, but we can help young people to decide, says Rolf Mikkelsen.
- This is one of the most complicated we can achieve in the Norwegian school, says a researcher at the University of Oslo, Rolf Mikkelsen to the class struggle.
He is one of them in the fall to put together a training program for
"Prevention of anti-Semitism, racism and undemocratic attitudes", aimed at teachers and school administrators.
From 2013, schools will be offered half-year courses, where among other topics will be anti-Semitism, racism and other group prejudices, democratic emergency, critical thinking and conflict resolution. Ministry of Education began working on this last spring, but the terrorist attacks on 22 July, the course added relevance. Now it is allocated six million kroner for the project, which extends over three years.
- It is clear that this has been added relevance after 22 July, and our project has also maintained characteristics of it. It is exactly this kind of extremism that is what we want to prevent, says project manager Peder Nustad the Holocaust Centre.
Ministry of Education gave first mission to the Holocaust center, but in the wake of this spring's disclosures of the ministries' lack of procedures for grants, the ministry chose to make a public announcement. Holocaust Center, Wergeland Centre and the Department of Education and School Research at the University won the tender.
