Seminars

ASA participants attend two seminars in April and June.

The seminar phase includes two seminars that all ASA participants attend in April and June and potentially additional seminars offered on specific topics.

ASA seminars

Participation in the ASA Programme begins in Germany. During two seminars held in April and June, each lasting several days, participants learn to better understand global interdependencies and to broaden their knowledge of methods in global learning. Intercultural communication, diversity issues, and conflict management/resolution are also discussed.

The seminars also provide a venue for white participants to reflect on internalised racism, and for black participants and People of Colour (PoC) to strengthen their self-determination.

A group of 20 to 30 people are being seen in a seminar situation. Some stand and some sit on the ground or a chair.

The ASA seminars aim to teach participants to learn holistically with their heads, hearts, and hands. Specifically designed to employ other approaches from those used in formal education, the seminars succeed when the participants take an active part. They are meant to impart new knowledge and to encourage young people to discuss, exchange ideas with each other, and reflect upon themselves. Participants are encouraged to help develop the seminars and contribute their own topics and points of view.
