ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | The principle of education for national minorities in minority languages is no longer in dispute in most countries of South-East Europe (SEE). Despite significant advances in the field of education for minorities in the past two decades, the levels of education vary greatly. This guide highlights existing standards, the variety of practices across the region, challenges and initiatives to overcome existing problems. As will emerge repeatedly throughout this guide, education for minorities is not separate from broader educational reform in the region. Minority education cannot be effective without a paradigm shift in mainstream education. Only an education system which values diversity and promotes tolerance can effectively provide a learning environment for minorities. |
