Trainers training in Teaching politics (Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina)

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.
