Czech President criticizes UNHCR educational project

The UNHCR educational project putting school children in the role of refugees by means of comics and a film is idiotic and dangerous, President Miloš Zeman said in Sunday's debate on Prima TV, praising Education Minister Kateřina Vlachová who said that her ministry will not distribute it to schools. According to the Czech president, the comics was just as naive as Bolshevik propaganda. The refugee awareness project Hello Czech Republic is based on a Swedish model and it was brought to the Czech Republic by the META association, which focuses on education of foreigners.
