sd011Planned Project-Activities

The participants can take part in five units on a parallel basis in a one year full-time programme or – where appropriate – they can be done consecutively or individually. These five units are:

 

  • Social casework supplemented by a reinforcement of curricular knowledge
  • Group work to improve language lessons
  • Community projects providing experience in supporting the elderly, antiracist or international communication (so far Eritrea and Turkey)
  • Placements in firms, which give the participants a chance of learning by research: participants learn to compare and document their experiences in different firms, trades and work environments
  • Participation in the museum’s projects: taking part in collecting, interpreting and exhibiting documents, especially concerning the international comparison of jobs, trades, professions and life situations of participants at home as well as in European partner projects.

Trans-national activities

The Nippes Museum prefers to co-operate with partners who are themselves active in the field of social work or youth work, and are in a close and personal relation to their target groups – these need not be the same groups as in the case of the Nippes Museum. Moreover reform of social work should be a point of interest instead of pure commercial or labour market oriented activities, supervision or co-ordination. Partners should be interested in joint common evaluation and documentation. This might be a common exhibition comparing life situations and vocational aspirations of participants in the partner projects.
