Declaration

Members of this project and friends all over the world tell me that they worry about the political situation in Austria. I am anxious too and understand, what they feel and think. Because of this reason, I want to say very clearly: as Co-ordinator of LIPSS I feel, think and act as an European member and not as an Austrian.

A declaration by Theodor W. Adorno has for many years influenced my pedagogical and human thinking:

“ The request for Auschwitz not happening anymore at any time is the first demand in education. Justifying this request would be monstrous considering the monstrosity which happened. That people are so little aware of this call and all the questions it raises show, that Auschwitz did not get into the mind of people. …”

Out of this declaration I want to tell you it is wrong to think an Austrian school belongs to the extreme right scene, as it is wrong to think the new situation in Austria has no consequences for Europe. We, the Austrian members of this project, work in our schools and institutes for a new and peaceful Europe. This project should benefit to all the schools and people all over Europe.

Comenius 3.2

Performance of an international In-Service-Trainings-Course, which supports teacher in finding Curriculum Continuity in linking Primary and Secondary stages. This Course should be done in Bad Goisern - Upper Austria. After that, we try to install a course in each partner country.

The results of LIPSS are given to all educational ministries for establishing a better link from Primary in Secondary in each country in whole Europe.

The structure of this course should be an example for In-Service-training-Courses of Pedagogical Institutes in the partner Institutes and for whole Europe.
