International Opportunity: Summer 2008

International Summer School 2008
Kurt Loewenstein Education Centre, Werftpfuhl, Berlin
3 – 10 August 2008

Education and Action for Peace! The only battle worth waging: education for conflict resolution, through peaceful methods, for an end to global violence. The seminar will focus on peace education and conflict resolution, closely tying into work that Woodcraft undertakes, particularly the MEST-UP project.

We will examine the contemporary conflicts around the world, realistic methods for international solidarity, concepts of positive and negative peace, conflict resolution & reconciliation, militarism, culture of violence, violence on an institutional level in the context of racism, patriarchy and the oppression of minorities and more!

Interested? I am looking for a team of Woodcraft participants aged 16 – 30 to get involved with this seminar and gain the chance to discuss and express their own views on the topics, through small media working groups working together throughout the seminar and a selection of workshops. There will be a wide range of participants attending from various socialist youth organisations throughout the world and it is a valuable opportunity for both the individual and Woodcraft as a whole.

The deadline for confirming the participants and to have organised travel arrangements will be the 1st July. There are only limited places so if you are interested, please get in touch ASAP: carlywalkerdawson@gmail.com or send me a message on facebook.

In friendship!
Carly Walker-Dawson
