Teachers

A multimedia training programme which can be used in the training and education of trainers/coaches and sports instructors, to help them to avoid and challenge discrimination in their work in youth sports.

It was compiled with European funding and the handbook is available online in English, French, German and Serbian. The films contain no dialogue so no language knowledge is necessary.
