        Generation Haram

        Why Schools Have to Learn to Give Everyone a Voice

        by Melisa Erkurt

        Melisa Erkurt and her parents moved to Austria from Bosnia when she was a child. She  studied and now works as a teacher and journalist. She’s made it – but she’s an exception. Because at the end of a school year, she knows that the majority of her pupils will never speak German well enough to change their fate – and their fate is predetermined. A generation of children is growing up in Germany and Austria without language or self-esteem, and to whom no one listens to because they cannot articulate themselves. While others discuss »culture clash« in the classroom, Melisa Erkurt lends her voice to the losers of the educational system. It is not these pupils who need to change, but the school system which needs to break new ground.

Nothing seems to break his writer’s block, till one day, at the house of his teacher and mentor, David Sender, he comes upon a secret: the enigmatic photographs of a young woman and a portrait of her posing as the Mona Lisa. A LEGENDARY PAINTING IN THE PRADO MUSEUM A few days later, in the town where David Sender lives in the Madrid Mountains, bones appear in the lake. Evidence confirms that they belong to Melisa Nierga, the young woman in the photographs, and the teacher is immediately detained by the police. Oliver suddenly realizes that he not only has before him the great story he was waiting for, but also a chilling mystery: could the man who has taught him everything be a murderer? CAN A MURDER BECOME A WORK OF ART? Oliver turns to his college classmate, Nora, to help him unravel the mystery. Together they will come upon some writings in Latin that could link the girl’s murder with one of the most beautiful paintings ever painted, the portrait known as “the Prado’s Mona Lisa”.In this fascinating novel, Alejandro Corral combines the research of some of the best kept secrets in the History of Art with a fast-paced thriller that seizes the reader from the first line.

Esta investigación evalúa en qué medida los laboratorios de paz abrieron caminos novedosos y “fórmulas” alternativas para la paz a nivel local y regional.
