International Training: „Education for social change“
Activists from socialist organisations are invited to Werftpfuhl from October 22nd - 29th 2022.
For more than 20 years, the Kurt Löwenstein Education Centre of SJD-Die Falken Germany is an international meeting and encountering place for members and activists from IFM-SEI, IUSY and YES. In various seminars like Winterschool, Summerschool, Queer Easter and other seminars we discuss, dream and make plans how to contribute to social change.
You want to join the education center’s international team or are just interested in this seminar anyways? Education is our main tool to put our political ideas into practice in our organisations and to reach out into our societies. In order to do this, educators must be given the tools to facilitate these educational processes and this is what this seminar aims to do. We will explore what skills and motivations you need to become good facilitators, how to structure educational processes and how to implement your political ideas in these processes.
The training will be amongst others about:
- ideas and methods of non-formal education,
- inclusion of political and cultural aspects into activities of non-formal education.
- ideas of socialist education and - reflective and anti-discriminatory education.
Our centre provides various activities for a non-formal educational setup that can be tried and learned in this training. We will also do a guided visit to educational institutions in Berlin and a workshop on organisational and fundraising aspects of international seminars.
Members of our education centre’s international team are usually members of partner organisations. For more information you are very welcome to contact us!
