If the answer to these questions is positive, then we recommend that you apply to the first online FER school: Feminism and Religion. The FER school is intended for women and men who want to academically question their beliefs, attitudes, knowledge and practices about human rights and freedoms and who want to investigate how gender stereotypes shape the lives of women and men in the family and society.

The goal of the FER school is to understand through online lectures and discussions how gender stereotypes affect the lives of women and men, why they are still justified by religion and some scientific research, and to offer egalitarian models of gender relations.

The FER school is FREE and the courses in this semester are intended for everyone regardless of the level of education and do not require preparation or writing papers, but regular and active participation.

In the summer semester of the FER school (March 25 to May 31, 2024), we offer five courses in the following terms:

Online lectures and discussions will be held on the Zoom platform. Participation in lectures and discussions is mandatory. Three absences are allowed with notice.

Participants who participated regularly will receive a certificate at the end of the course.

You can enroll in all courses or only some of them.

The enrollment application should contain: 1. Motivation letter and short CV;  2. Titles of selected courses from those offered that you wish to attend.

Submit the application by March 15, 2024 to the address: ferskola.tpo@gmail.com . You will receive an answer to your application by March 20, 2024.

The FER school is organized by the TPO Foundation from Sarajevo in partnership with the Ecumenical Initiative of Women from Omiš and the Foundation for Transcultural Education from Zagreb. More information about the FER school can be found at: https://ferskola.onlinebase.net/
