Welthaus Education is the educational department for Welthaus Innsbruck, the network for developmental cooperation of the Innsbruck (Austria) Diocese.

We offer advice on intercultural encounters and intercultural learning for pupils, teachers and adult education instructors. We arrange contact with speakers from other cultures and hold workshops and continuing education classes.

In our "Lebensbilder" (images of life) project, we provide the opportunity for one month each year, to meet speakers of countries in which the campaign "Bruder und Schwester in Not"(brothers and sisters in need) Innsbruck (BSI) or the organization Caritas Innsbruck International (CII) support development projects.

The "Lebensbilder"project focuses on our guests' life experiences. They talk about their lives, countries and cultures from their very personal point of view. The hosts in the Tirol region (school classes or adult groups) prepare for the visit in order to ensure a successful encounter and establish a climate of hospitality.

During this project, a seminar on continuing education for teachers takes place in cooperation with the Pädagogisches Institut (institute of education) and the Religionspädagogisches Institut (institute of religious education) of the Innsbruck Diocese.

Our monthly "Weltcafé" (world café) event provides the opportunity to talk with the speakers about several topics (dialogue between religions, cooperation for development, global justice, etc.).

In addition to our Lebensbilder project , Welthaus Innsbruck will offer study trips to project partners in Africa and Latin America as of 2005. It is our goal to enlist actively committed Tiroleans to contribute to our work and to show solidarity with our partners in Africa and Latin America.
