DUTCH EDE 2020 Coronaproof (jump to Dutch)

We do it like this:

The whole new organisation in one go…..

• Every week we work with a fixed pattern and structure.
• Every week a different theme is dealt with. The first week is social, second ecological,
  third economic and fourth cultural/holistic worldview.
• You will spend the night in tents and have your own place to sleep. There are limited
  possibilities to stay overnight in the accommodation of estate Algoed.
• The duration of the course is from Friday 3 July to Saturday 1 August 2020.
• The language used during the course is Dutch. It can be translated into English during
  the workshops. The self-study package is also available in English.

Organization mornings from Monday to Friday

• Every morning you can work in the working circles of estate Algoed. A maximum of
  five people work in one workplace. On the workplace itself, the distance between
  them is at least 1.5 meters. The aim is to be three meters apart. The workplaces are
  far apart from each other. Every day we start drinking coffee/tea and catching up.
  This is from 09.00. Work will continue until 12.30, with a break of half an hour in
  between. While working, conversations can be started with the work supervisors and
  questions can be asked about how things are done/organized and about their views
  on certain themes (such as permaculture) on the Algoed estate. For the certification
  at least four days; work is necessary to achieve the desired contact hours.

Organization mornings at weekends

• Saturday morning an explanation will be given about the design assignment and
  groups will work on the design assignment. In consultation, this can also partly from
  home via video lessons, if you do not want to stay the weekend on estate Algoed.

Organization afternoons from Monday to Friday

• Every afternoon there is a workshop.
• Each day, a different theme from the curriculum is central.
• The themes of the workshops fit the theme of that week.
• The workshops usually start at 14.00. Sometimes in consultation with each other a
  little later. This according to the needs of the group and the trainer. This will be
  organically coordinated with each other.
• The duration of the workshop is 2,5 hours. With a half-hour break in between.
• The trainers communicate about the times via a chalkboard and via a WhatsApp
  group.
• Whenever possible, the workshops are given in the part of the farm where you can
  sit comfortably apart from each other.
• If the part is occupied, and we can’t teach outside, we work from several tents. With
  a maximum of six people in 1 tent. Contact with each other is made through a video
  connection.
• Because of teaching via a screen, we strive for a maximum of 30 consecutive minutes
  of theoretical explanations and frontal teaching. This is then alternated with practical
  assignments.

Organization Saturday afternoon

Saturday afternoon is reserved to work in project groups on the design assignment.

Organization evenings from Monday to Friday

• In the evening an online self-study program is offered.
• It is intended that you will spend about 10 hours a week and 40 hours in total for the
  whole EDU with self-study in order to qualify for the certification of the EDU.
• During the evening hours coaches are ready to answer individual questions. This can
  be done online and this can be done face to face with the teachers present. A
  schedule will be made where you can register for a coaching interview. There is
  usually 1 coach present who is ready for spontaneous and relatively short questions.
• The self-study is tailor-made. Several assignments are offered. You can choose from
  the various assignments according to your own insights. Some assignments are
  mandatory for certification.

Organization Sunday

• Sunday is free to roast and fill in according to your own insights. This can be used by
  participants to give workshops, work independently on the design assignment or work on
  the individual trajectory through open space. You can also just do fun things and take time
  off that day.
