The Adelheid Summer School 2005 - 2006 is a 2 year training project for women from Eastern and Central Europe, working with the Churches / Faith Communities and NGO's.

We invite women who have never had the possibility for further training and want to improve their skills in order to be more effective in their work and community.

PROGRAMME PHASE II:

Deepening of Skills and Knowledge

At the end of Phase II participants will receive a Certificate.

PARTICIPANTS:
The seminar will bring together 24 women multipliers from a variety of backgrounds who come from the various countries in Eastern and Central Europe. Participants need to have a basic knowledge of English and are expected to commit themselves to be involved in the project for the full two years and to attend both seminars (Phase I in the Czech Republic 2005 and Phase II in Britain 2006). As part of the integral process of the whole programme, it is foreseen that the qualifications and skills gained through the Adelheid Project will be further shared and passed onto others within their local and/or national context and within their organisations and projects.
