Abstract

The role of school as an educational factor is to empower a young person in the field of social competences in order to enhance the sensitivity for the development of social closeness among different social groups. This research endeavor aims to further clarify the social distance among Bosnian- Herzegovinian high school students. The research sample consisted of 310 high school students (General High School in Zenica, Pale High School Center, Fr. Grga Martić High School in Mostar). The classes were randomly selected. In this study, the General Socio-Demographic Questionnaire and the Social Distance Scale were used. The findings could serve as a starting point for the creation of the inter-ethnic and inter-religious dialogue programs. They can also be an incentive for planning and programming a stronger presence of intercultural education and the education for democracy and peace in school curriculum.
