Societies trough Personal Transformation
Trainers:
 Zorica Trikic, MA, ISSA Senior Program Manager and
Romani Early Years Network Coordinator
 Jelena Vranjesevic, PhD, Faculty of Philosophy,
Belgrade University
Participants:
 There were 28 participants
from 13 countries:
 Serbia, Macedonia,
Montenegro, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Kosovo,
Albania, Italy, Belgium,
Latvia, Ireland, Ukraine,
Bolgaria and Hungary
With amazing people in the wonderful
atmosphere in Belgrade
We did:
Day1. Weve learned about ourselves: the
common portrait of participant
 Direct and honest
 Volunteer
 Humanitarian studies
(philology, psychology,
sociology, pedagogy)
 Active
 Lifelong learning
 REYN member =)
Day1. Weve learned about problem solutions
Naming
(giving a proper name
for the problem)
Voicing
(active involvement
trough dialogue)
Building allies
(we cannot solve it alone,
we need team)
Day1. Weve learned about stereotypes and
prejudices by playng Derdians game
 Stereotypes have real power
 Prejudices include strong
emotional relations
 Prejudices are resistant to
change
 Stereotypes are unjustified
generalizations
 We jumped into stereotypes
about wild and illiterate
derdians even being aware of
power of prejudices
Day2. Weve learned about DIE model
 We usually jump from
description of fact (what we
really see) to interpretation of it
without knowing the real
situation and than we evaluate
it so that we easily can come to
discrimination
 Instead of DIE model more
close to truth is making
assumptions about probable
reasons that cause fact
Interpretation
Evaluation
Description
Day2. Weve learned about Blaming the victim
mechanism by Building towers game
 Blame the victim theory places
causes of social problems in one who is
suffering, and not in characteristics of
his living conditions Problems are
explained/solved without changing the
conditions that create them.
 Paradox of competetive individualism
is in belief that the personal gain is the
most important, that the others are less
important, which hinders the
development of individuality.
Day2. Weve learned about oppression and its
manifestations
 oppression matrix;
 explicit/implicit, conscious/unconscious oppression;
 the cultural/institutional and individual level of oppression
Day3. Weve learned about openness by
playing Fruit game
 To avoid drama  separate
feelings from thoughts
 Focusing on our feelings
about otherness
 Development of
intercultural sensitivity
 Risk factors in
intercultural learning
 Needs inventory
Day3. Weve learned about Building allies 
how to be an effective ally
 Empathy (quality listening,
focusing on others needs,
reflection of others feelings,
noticing others physical and
emotional state)
 Effective ally (knows whats
opression, understands situation,
responses to target group,
expects support from other allies,
knows that he/she is responsible
for humanizing society, has
his/her own identity, has patience
and good sense of humor)
And some useful tips from training provided by Zorica-dawn:
 Build allies
 Share responsibility
 Awareness
 Focus on needs
 Dont use position either/nor
 Openness
 Always ask yourself: what will make life more beautiful?
