The framework of the project "Other in teaching contents for the higher education" involved questioners for the 266 students from the two Universities in Republic of Macedonia.
The aims of the research are :
to discover the overall picture for the involvement of "Other" in the teaching contents for the Higher Education and life of the university in general.
To collect data for the communication, cooperation and intercultural tolerance of the students and teaching staff inside and outside the universities.
To discover what ways of work for the "Other" were used in the period from 1995-2001 and which ones were popular for the students.
To foresee what should be done in order to study different aspects of "Other" and its presentation in the higher education and life itself.
