Although the term "ethnic cleansing" gained currency after its use by the media to describe Serb initiatives to remove non-Serbs, especially Muslim Bosnians, from its territories during the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, the phenomenon of forcibly removing unwanted populations has been with us for much longer and persists into the present. The goal of this workshop is to assist teachers in learning about its occurrence and how it relates to the development of genocide, so that they are able to bring into their classrooms a meaningful discussion of the topic.
