Debating Development – Exploring power in international development debates
What is development? What is development to you? Could you describe your meaning of development in a sentence? Have you ever wondered who decides about who gets developed and how? Who benefits? Do you? Who develops whom? And why?
Join us and explore the debates, hierarchies and power struggles around development. We will move from the critique to exploring resistance, activism and alternatives to development to understand our personal position and to rethink development debates.
Design Thinking – Finding your master thesis topic
In this workshop selected methods for personal growth and development are presented. In order to be able to develop yourself and your professional ideas (your master thesis) you have to know yourself. If you do not know yourself, it is impossible take decisions that are in favor of your own best interests. That leads to the question: Do I know myself?
Participants will have the opportunity to discover their personal strengths and use creative tools and methods to identify their area of interest for the master thesis.
