Development Education Summer School 2011

“Quality and Impact in Development Education” Finland, June 12 – 18, 2011

You are an NGO practitioner? You have some experience on Quality and Impact in Development Education? Then do not miss the chance to participate in the Development Education Summer School 2011 co-organised by DEEEP and Kehys, which will take place in Finland from June 12 to June 18! This year the focus will be on Quality and Impact, a “hot” topic for development education. The event will be a mixture of theory and practice, through thematic sessions and working groups! Participants will also have the opportunity to attend a conference of the European Multi stakeholder Group on Development Education, and meet with the members of such group.
  • How do we define process quality in Development Education?
  • How do we define, plan for and measure impact in DE?
  • The role of methods/methodology in good quality DE work
  • The importance of good quality partnerships, networking and information sharing in DE
  • How can we incorporate quality in each process phase (planning – implementation – evaluation)?
