General

From July 31 to August 14, 2011, for the sixth time consecutively, the International Award Summer School will open its doors in Osterburken, Germany. The patronage has thankfully been taken over by the Mayor of Osterburken, Mr Jürgen Galm.

As every year, young adults planning to become Award Leaders, as well as experienced Leaders wanting to deepen and share their knowledge are invited to participate in a seminar week including an Award Leaders Course, an Award Management Course and different workshops held in English language.

For the first time, however, the seminar programme will be extended to two weeks by an optional Gold Assessors Course and supplemented in both weeks by an “Expedition Track”. Due to its modular design there are three different options for taking part in IASS 2011:

  1. First week (Seminar Track: Leaders Courses & Workshops / Train the Trainers Course; Expedition Track: Gold Practise Expeditions). The seminar track of this week can be used as a Residential.

  2. Second week (Seminar Track: Gold Assessors Course; Expedition Track: Gold Expeditions).

  3. Both weeks.

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. Just like Award helpers, trainers in our Award courses are basically not supposed to act for themselves but to make the participants act.

Gold Award Expedition teams who can verify with their Record Books that they completed the preliminary stages of the Expedition process successfully can use the Expedition Track for their Final Gold Practice Expedition and/or Gold Expedition. Here, the German Award will just help Supervisors to help themselves – like sharing information about maps, campsites and routes, and we will provide Assessors.

But IASS 2011 is more than courses and expedition ventures! There is also “service” – because everybody is involved in course and “base camp” duties, such as providing food, preparing lunch and cleaning the kitchen; “skills” – because a documentation is to be prepared, and “physical recreation” – because everybody can end his / her day with some guided physical activity.

*) Kurt Hahn, the “inventor” of the Award, was born (1886) and died (1974) in Germany.
