Betzavta Training Courses

Project overview

During the training course 27 multipliers (NGO staff, teachers, volunteers…) who work in the field of international youth work from Croatia, Denmark, Georgia, Germany, Moldova, Poland, Serbia, Sweden, and Ukraine will get familiar with the Betzavta method. Trough games

and interactive activities they are going to explore the democratic decision-making

process in a more personal way, and eventually get a more fundamental understanding of democracy. Also, the participants focus on the use of Betzavta in their own working context. The international composition of the training fosters the development of intercultural cooperation on the international level. In addition the trainings offer the multipliers a platform for exchange of ideas on their understanding of democracy.

Meeting place

We spent the first two days in Berlin, Germany before we travel to the Youth Meeting Center in Poland. Krzyżowa/Kreisau is a historical site. During World War II it was the meeting place of the Kreisau Circle, an important resistance group against the Nazi regime. Nowadays, the aim of Krzyżowa is supporting peaceful and tolerant existence of nations, social groups and individuals in Europe. The educational work in Krzyżowa builds bridges between the past and the present, between Western and Eastern Europe, and promotes dialogue between generations.
