Perspectives of development – an understanding on
professional cooperation
An international workshop on development cooperation in the context of
Community Education and Social Work
Evangelische Hochschule Freiburg - 17.-21.Mai 2016
Programme
Introduction
The process of this workshop is based on the expertise of the participants, on their
different contexts of life and professional experiences. These will be deliberately put
into relation with the impact of measures taken (Wirkungszusammenhang). This
results in the following basic dynamics:
-
-
There will be many open spaces in which experiences, perceptions,
suggestions, backgrounds and expectations will be continually exchanged and
amplified in the various group formations.
The complexity of the main subject “Development” will, on the one hand, not
be reduced, but, on the other hand, will be focused on four different levels for
the theoretical debate:
o Global visions of development: On this level, universal and basic
facts across target groups will be considered with a view to a
developing world.
o Local initiatives and perspectives: This deals with the level of
concrete realities of life, on which development can be lived in all its
perspectives and potentials.
o International EZ – Church: In how far is international cooperation
possible and sensible/reasonable? Which actual tendencies, possibly
even not exploited resources, exist on the level of internationally active
organisations as well as on the level of communities and partner
groups?
-
-
o Professionalism of Social Work / Community Education: Finally, the
level of professionalism. How can which development perspectives be
stimulated and supported? What does this mean in respect of training?
How can this be represented by the program of 3- to 4-monthly practical
training in partner organisations of Bread for the World
During the workshop 4 movable walls on which the findings, questions or
suggestions concerning one of the levels will be at the disposal of the
participants.
The inputs are meant to stimulate continued reflexions and, at the same time,
take up previous discussions as far as this is possible, for the requested
lecturers.
