Over more than 25 years the Pestalozzi Programme has co-organised training activities in cooperation with the Academy of in-Service Training of Baden-Württemberg (European Seminars).

The 2013 Summer School will offer intensive training (full eight days) for between 60-80 participants who have the opportunity to choose their own learning curriculum of about 60 hours from a range of thematic modules in different languages and obligatory common activities. A public Round Table Debate will provide the opportunity to exchange with a wider public. In 2013 the Summer School will be placed under the title “Understanding diversity” and the public debate will approach the question “Does school have a future? Which schools for a diverse and truly democratics society?
