Training Philosophy

 The SLE course allowed me to think in a holistic way,

it enabled me to get to know different instruments and tools and it gave me courage to fight for better days in the Brazilian Amazon Region."

Marcus V.A.Finco, Brazil
 

SLE TRAINING for International Development Cooperation is directed at young professionals from all working areas of development cooperation. By selecting participants with different professional and cultural backgrounds from all over the world, the programme pursues precisely the intercultural and interdisciplinary approach that is so vital to development cooperation.

Learning by doing is the core element of our teaching philosophy at SLE. Case studies, exercises and/or role-plays help to create an environment of common learning where participants can put methods taught into practice.
All courses are accompanied by a framework programme that allows participants to become familiar with scholarly discussions in the area of development cooperation, and to meet representatives of German governmental and non-governmental organizations active in this field.
