The Programme

The Summer School’s core elements are workshops and working groups.

 

Workshops deal with different aspects of sports as they relate to major development topics. Brief lectures introduce the participants to discussions on the relevance of sports topics for development education activities. In addition, specific concepts will be developed to be put into practice.

 

Working groups provide the necessary forum for taking up the stimuli from the workshops and developing strategies focused on target groups and concepts for day-to-day activities. The goal will be too compile results in an exemplary fashion for the application of sports in development education activities.

 

The Summer School Programme is supplemented by additional factors including an Open Space and an Educational Olympics.
