UNESCO Chair in Education for Democratic Citizenship and Human Rights has been renewed at the University of Montenegro. According to the Agreement signed between UoM and UNESCO, the Chair will be active until June 25th 2025.

The Chair was originally established at the Faculty of Philosophy in 2005 and has ever since been of paramount importance not only for the academic life but also for the society at large because its activities contributed to the development of the democratic values.  

Previously, activities of the Chair were mostly oriented towards the development of international network of cooperation and implementation of projects at national and international level. Projects were, among other, aimed at preparing future teachers in the Western Balkans for education, democracy and human rights, encouraging democratic school culture in Montenegro and strengthening academic integrity in higher education.  

The Chair acted as a centre of excellence, continuously contributing to promotion of democratic society and culture of peace and non-violence, regional cooperation, promotion of cultural diversity and peaceful co-existence. The aims of the Chair have been defined in a manner that will assist the University of Montenegro in its transformation into a modern and competitive university fully integrated into European Higher Education Area.  

By renewing the agreement with UNESCO, UoM has become a part of the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Program, which brings together close to 900 higher education and scientific research institutions from over 120 countries and strengthens them through networking. Membership offers a special opportunity for the University of Montenegro to participate in the exchange of knowledge through interdisciplinary global networks of institutions of higher education, dedicated to improvement of research, training and action towards sustainable development based on social, economic, ecological and epistemic justice.
