Hurray! The Intercultural Seminar of our network will definitely take place from the 6th to the 13th of November! The fundings are safe, so that we can assure this now. We felt so sorry that we had to cancel the seminar last year due to the lack of financial funds. But now it is really safe, that the seminar will take place. So please start to care about your preparations!
This years topic will be „Europe from then to now – facing new challenges due to the refugee crisis“. We will start with a short look back how we became what we are and then we try to exchange our experiences with refugees in the different countries. The feelings and the politics toward refugees are very controversial. But as an international network with different cultural backgrounds we hope that this exchange about this topic can be very enriching and enlightening.
As with every intercultural Marienthal Network seminar, we will work a lot in creative workgroups to discuss the topic and see what we can get our of it with an creative approach. As in former years expect workshops like Seminar reporter, short film/acting, video spots, music, perhaps internet radio.
-> The conference language will be English, all participants should be able to speak and understand basic Englisch (min. A2-Level)
We did open a new Facebook group „2016 Marienthal Intercultural Seminar„, so if it is likely that you will be part of the seminar, please join our group!
We will bring every new information for the participants and the teachers of this years seminar into this group and after the seminar it is a good place for your photos and stories.
For the moment it is safe that the schools of the network of the following countries are eligible to come: Latvia, Sweden, Germany (Hannover), Czech Republic, Poland (only Sieradz) and new to the intercultural seminar to the South Cheshire College (England). There are chances also that the colleagues from Vilnius (Lithuania) and Banja Luka (Bosnia) will join in too.
Unfortunately we will miss Fabrizio Falzini and his students from Rome this year – he will be on the inter religious seminar with Christian Fauth von Kreitmayr. The inter religious seminar shall take place the 23th -30th October. But the fundings for this seminar are not 100% safe yet, but there is a good chance that it will take place (according to Georg)
