As has been explained on our education server, “D@dalos and Pharos aim to contribute to the building of a culture of peace, democracy and active citizenship in BiH and other countries of South Eastern Europe”. In doing so, we develop and maintain 
the contents of the Education Server, which meanwhile comprises no less than 11 main subject groups – as for example about Human Rights, Democracy, Parties, Globalisation etc. – in 10 languages. We moreover offer a distance learning course (Teaching politics in Southeast Europe) with three workshops in Sarajevo. Main aims are to deal with the topics of democracy, political parties and European Union as well as to get acquainted with tasks, contents and methods of education for democratic citizenship (EDC). In addition to that, cross-cutting key qualifications such as presentation skills and basics of professional project planning and management are taught.
And we offer – as a kind of third pillar of our endeavours – EU-seminars for journalists. We do that, because we are convinced, that the process of approximation between the European Union and the countries of the Western Balkans needs a better understanding about the EU and the possible implications of an accesion within the population of the countries of the Western Balkans, but also a better understanding of the situation on the Balkans on behalf of the populations of the EU member states. And apart from Political Education it are especially the media which can contribute to such a better understanding.
In the light of the outstanding importance of these seminars we of course want to use our blog too, to inform about the concept, contents and organizational aspects of our courses, about new and important developments in the European Union, its relations with the countries of the Western Balkans and its enlargement- and neighbourhood policy, which might be of interest for journalists. Moreover, we want to encourage you to use the comment-function to give us your feedback and share your thoughts with us and thus help the blog to become a vivid discussion forum.
In order to facilitate access to all postings, comments and discussions we have established a new category on this blog – EU-seminars for journalists. When clicking on this category, you’ll only view the relevant messages. And if you want an even more covenient way to keep tabs on the informations of this blog, consider subscribing to our RRS-feed.
