[hr-education] 'Teaching politics' - training for trainers in Southeast Europe 2006

Dear all,

Teaching politics - as one element of education for democratic citizenship
- is a challenge that requires a special set of knowledge and skills.

The NGO D@dalos based in Sarajevo/Bosnia-Herzegovina offers a 3-month
trainers training (September till November 2006) for participants from
Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Kosovo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania,
Bulgaria and Romanian.

The course language is German. Advert in German:

Details:

Main aims of this course are to deal with the topics of democracy,
political parties and European Union as well as to get acquainted with
tasks, contents and methods of education for democratic citizenship (EDC).
In addition to that, cross-cutting key qualifications such as presentation
skills and project management techniques are taught. Participants acquire
basic knowledge and skills in the field of EDC and learn how to teach
politics in formal and non-formal education. Thereby they take part in
developing a democratic political culture in Southeast-Europe.
