Description of the Organization

The "ai academy" is an educational institution of Amnesty International Austria. As we of the ai academy have recourse to the ample national and international competences of Amnesty International, we can provide you with events that suit your interests. The ai academy benefits from the experience ai has acquired in the decades it has striven to protect human rights.

The ai academy

  • is practice-oriented
  • uses interactive and participative methods
  • is politically independent
  • does not aim to make a profit
  • ensures easy access to events (pricing, venues adapted to the needs of the disabled and the elderly, etc.)
  • furthers the knowledge about and the awareness of human rights
  • aims at helping to develop important skills needed to take action in human rights affairs
  • takes into account that human rights are universal and indivisible
  • cooperates with national and international experts
  • is commited to the concept of gender mainstreaming
  • assures the quality of the events it provides by constantly evaluating them ( their contents as well as the services offered)

It is our aim to offer events concerning human rights, that are easy to understand, fascinating, and up to date: They usually last from a few hours up to two days. These workshops, training courses, lectures and conferences almost always take place in the evening and on weekends. Vienna and Salzburg have been picked as their permanent locations. Moreover, we also offer events earmarked rent-a-training, that is events that can be booked for other locations in Austria by respective target groups.

Description of the Organization

One World work, World Church theology, intercultural communication and conflict management are the areas in which many committed people have taken seminars and continuing education courses at our head mission office for more than ten years now.

Process-Oriented Themes
The process-oriented themes are related in an interactive process involving participants and partners as well as experts in the head mission office: from Dialog Lernen (learning the dialog - 1992), Nachhaltige Solidarität (sustainable solidarity- 1995), and Neue Nachbarschaften (new neighbors - 1999),  to today's main focus on Differenzen und Allianzen (differences and alliances) as well as Solidarkompetenz (solidarity competence).

Within the framework of the 'A Soul for Europe' program, the 'Ecumenical Village' (Graz, 1997) and 'Neue Modelle von Solidarität im heutigen Europa lehren und lernen' (teaching and learning new models of solidarity in today's Europe) 2000/2001, have represented important contributions.

Recognition
These programs have been and continue to be supported by the European Union as well as church and state authorities.

Solidarity workshops represent high-quality continuing education measures for students of social and educational professions, members of social groups and programs focus on:

    Agenda 2000
    the monitoring of the financial markets (ATTAC)
    One World
    minority problems
    topics on environmental/ecological sustainability
    the gender issue

in Central Europe (at present Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Austria, the Netherlands, and Germany).

Members of social movements and the movements for the landless, women, Blacks and the indigenous people participate from Brazil and India. Training for solidarity competence deals with solidarity in the political domain, professionalism and personality, differences and conflicts, and of boundaries and culture.

Target groups are:

    returnees from Third World countries
    committed individuals in the area of solidarity work
    training groups such as university seminars and
    training  for pastors and deacons.
