BORDERLAND SCHOOL
Borderland School is a one-year training programme intended for managers and leaders of cultural, educational and social organisations who deal with regional multicultural issues in Central and Eastern Europe.
The Borderland School is established on a yearly basis. During the year each participant takes part in three sessions.
All training sessions are divided into three main parts:
I. Workshop of Leaders -
aims at developing the necessary know-how and competencies to
lead an organisation and to create programmes, in such a way that
they are stable and well-organised, that they have clearly
defined goals and working methods and that their competent
leaders can objectively evaluate their efficiency .
II. Workshop of Borderlands - focuses on Central and
Eastern European multi-cultural regions, on their historical and
cultural heritages, national and religious conflicts as well as
their socio-political situation.
III. Workshop of Animators - focuses on
methods to deal with issues related to human rights, national
minorities, education, tolerance, mass-media and the like, based
on the experience of outstanding animators and programmes
which enjoy the respect of many organisations.
Every participant presents his own
project in three sessions, which will be carried out in the nearest future.
