1 3rd International Award Summer School August 26–31, 2008

2 Methods In the tradition of Kurt Hahn*), we strongly believe that to explain the Award is not enough, and that we also have to take care that its spirit can be experienced in every single seminar. Hence, in Summer School, “learning by doing” is the most important seminar method. *) Kurt Hahn, “inventor” of the Award, was born (1886) and died (1974) in Germany
