Description

The XV Regional Summer School will be organized by REIC in collaboration with German Development Cooperation“ – GIZ Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit. A panel of esteemed judges will review applications and select the final candidate. The concept of the 15th Summer School is to provide training for students, engage them in a way to facilitate their innovativeness and to simulate their decision-making approach. Students will be divided into smaller groups and they will be asked to propose a project idea out of one of the sectors (topics) in the context of long-term energy and climate planning. The goal of the final paper is to initiate creativeness and innovation by the students, rather than to set a framework for thinking. The role of the facilitators will be to streamline each group to develop an understandable and coherent project proposal. Groups will be heterogenic in terms of educational background, the origin of participant and gender. In the end, students will draft and present a project proposal.
