Berlin Development-policy Education Programme
8 to 12 November 2010 in the FEZ-Berlin
Global money - how money determines our world?
Aims
In this comprehensive education concept, pupils are given the abilities to actively and self-responsibly help to create the future. In this respect, emotional and action-related components of the education play a decisive role. Global learning counteracts dominant thinking and questions stereotypes, alien- and self-images.
It should awaken pleasure and inquisitiveness to make people aware of the economic, social, cultural and political conditions of people in other parts of the world. Approaches to solutions for individual action are shown for achieving the aim of fairer world-economy relationships.
The German UNESCO Commission distinguished the Development-policy Education Programme as an official Decade project.
The education programme
The Berlin Development-policy Education Programme for schools- and youth-recreation facilities has taken place since 2000 each year in the second week of November. It primarily addresses children and youths in the 3rd to 13th classes and comprises a comprehensive education offer: together with 60-minute workshops, a colourful culture programme, a cinema forum and exhibitions are offered. Upper-school pupils can additionally participate in a podium discussion with representatives from the spheres of politics, economy and science. Teachers and pedagogues can obtain information about the course content and methods and receive accompanying information material for the preparation and revision of their pupils.
The theme each year is taken according to the annual theme of the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. (2009 Energy, 2010 Money, 2011 City, 2012 Nutrition, 2013 Mobility, 2014 Unification of all themes).
