L10P1: Another Kind of School
This first week will lay important foundations for the programme by starting out with in-depth learning about Another Kind of School, DRH Pedagogy and the DI Concept, with the DI Trio Book of Preparations introduced as a learning tool. The Core Groups are organized in Trios by picking lots whilst getting introduced to areas of running the school, and with great appetite taking their part. Experiencing common life at the school.
L10P2: The World of People and Politics
The Core Groups are introduced to Historical Materialism and dig into the driving forces of development in the world today, gaining a thorough understanding about the growing gap between rich and poor by putting up questions and statements – then studying and debating to find answers. The Core Groups investigate the history, politics, economy and human conditions of the country(ies) in which they will carry out the Humana project period.
L10P3: Humana People to People
The Core Groups are presented to the history and work of Humana People to People, along with the available positions for the Humana project period. Trios are formed. Communication with the Project Leaders start.
L10P4: The Fight of The Poor
The Core Groups learns important hard-hitting facts about the conditions of the poor throughout history and in today’s world, sharing insights and discoveries with each other whilst continuing to envisage their role in the activities of Humana People to People in the project country(ies). Action is on the agenda in this period through (1) preparing and carrying out a 3 day biking/hitch hiking investigation to meet the poor in the area around the school, and (2) through a 4 day action that adds quality to the life at the school.
The Core Groups then use their experience from this period to prepare and plan the action for the Period 5.
L10P5: Zooming in on Open Future
In this period the Core Groups study about the risks that our way of life today presents to our planet and people of the future along with the consequences in the form of the environmental rift that threatens all life on the planet.
