Successfull ORIENTATION course in Freiburg/Germany in October 2007
The last ORIENTATION course took place in Freiburg im Breisgau / Germany on 2-6 October 2007. 12 adult educators from Belgium, Finland, Germany, Greece and Poland attended the course, which was organised by Joint Effort EEIG (Berlin) and facilitated by Glykeria Arapi, independent trainer from Athens/Greece, and Robert Ferguson, lecturer at the Institute of Education / University of London. This time, the course used additional methodological elements of analysing media and images with regard to their representation of culture. Further more, the group was hosted for a study visit at the Volkshochschule (Adult Education Centre) Markgraeflerland at Muellheim near Freiburg. Due to participants\' main focus of experiences and interest, cultural diversity was explored basically in the view of immigration and cultural integration. Participants are now refining intercultural aspects in their daily work, and they think of initiating a learning partnership between their institutions in the framework of the European Union\\\'s Lifelong Learning Programme.
