Teaching Programme

The teaching programme enables participants to:
  • think in complex contexts (multi-sectional and multi-dimensional) and to plan, manage and assess programmes and projects on the basis of the “multi-level approach” (global, national, regional, local)
  • make informed contributions to current issues of development policy and to transform this knowledge into consulting processes and lead them to success
  • act sensitively in cooperation structures and design these structures on a partnership basis
  • reflect critically on their personal attributes with regard to the professional field, determine their role and contribution, and define values and core attitudes
  • deal actively with changes in the professional field and remain flexible
  • act appropriately and with sensitivity in other cultural contexts and approach different values and conventions constructively.
