  • It's Not Just About Tents and Campfires
    It’s not just about tents and campfires An example of how a non-governmental organization empowers young people to become good citizens making a positive change in their communities as well as in the world. Emelie Göransson Bachelor’s thesis in Development Studies, 15hp Department of Human Geography, Lund University Autumn 2013 Supervisor: Karin Steen Abstract The concept of empowerment is deeply rooted in power relations. Young people have often been seen as incompetent, however, if given the right tools they can achieve positive change today. They are not merely the adults of the future; they are the youth of today. Education and awareness rising are key ingredients in the creation of change and development. How to educate, enable and empower young people one might ask; the answer provided in this thesis is through the Scout Movement. The reason for this is that the Scout Movement is the world’s largest non-formal educational movement with a positive view on what young people can achieve. It is a movement that teaches young people good citizenship and empowers them to become self-fulfilled individuals creating a positive change in their communities.

    The Transfer of German Pedagogy in Taiwan (1940–1970) Liou, Wei-chih ABSTRACT Wissenstransfer spielte eine zentrale Rolle im Prozess der Herausbildung akademischer Diszipli- nen bzw. der Reform der traditionellen Wissenskulturen in einer Vielzahl nichtwestlicher Länder im 20. Jahrhundert. Ein Beispiel für solch einen Modernisierungsprozess bildet der Einfluss der deutschen Bildung und Pädagogik auf Taiwan. Der Aufsatz beginnt mit einer Analyse der neun einzigen chinesischen Pädagogikstudenten, die ihre akademischen Grade in Deutschland zwi- schen 1920 und 1949 erwarben, danach nach China zurückkehrten und nach 1949 in Taiwan als „Wissensmediatoren“ fungierten. Es wird gezeigt, wie diese Pädagogen versuchten, nach dem Vorbild der geisteswissenschaftlichen Tradition der deutschen Erziehungswissenschaft die taiwanesische Pädagogik und das Bildungssystem, das bis dahin vom amerikanischen Wis- senschaftsparadigma dominiert war, zu reformieren. Dies war mit dem Anspruch verbunden, anhand der kulturellen und philosophischen Annahmen der „Kulturpädagogik“ westliche und chinesische Kultur in Taiwan miteinander harmonisch zu verbinden und angesichts der politi- schen Ereignisse in China 1949 neue Lösungen für den Bildungsbereich zu suchen. Der Analyse liegen die theoretischen Annahmen des Wissenstransfers von Steiner-Khamsi und Schriewer zugrunde. Knowledge transfer played a crucial role in the process of modernizing academic dis- ciplines in many non-Western countries during the 20th century. Many of them began either to modify the old or to establish an entirely new tradition of academic disciplines; this essay will address the specific case of pedagogy in China and Taiwan.1 Its analysis Due to the specific historical context in China and Taiwan, the transfer of Germany pedagogy in this article was researched geographically in China before 949, and after 949 in Taiwan.

  • To Our Rover Scouts English Section
    To Our Rover Scouts English Section By Nguyen Van Thuat 2006 Foreword On The 2nd Edition The booklet “To All Vietnamese Rovers” was first published in 1993 and in 13 years there have been many changes in our lives as well as in our Scouting activities. However, formal regulations have not been put in place for Vietnamese Scouting due to the simple fact that the Scout Association of Vietnam has not been officially re-established. Of course all overseas Vietnamese Scout units need to comply with the regulations of the National Scout Association with which they are registered for membership and activities. In updating information on Rovering activities, this edition of “To All Vietnamese Rovers” has been revised to help Rovers respond to their present needs. This edition can also be regarded as a special contribution as well as a greeting from the author to the upcoming Jamboree Thang Tien 8, which will be held in California, USA from July 8 to July 14, 2006. What I’m hoping to achieve, through this booklet, is to provide you with the main features of the Rover Section and its activities, which may be useful and applicable to overseas Vietnamese Rover Crews. The author wishes to thank Reverend Tien Loc, who was Commissioner for Rovers, the Scout Association of Vietnam before May 1975 for his provision of supplementary details when the booklet was reprinted by the “Rover Section Library” in Vietnam in 2004. For this second edition I have received considerable help and support from the following: • Scouters Le Ngoc Buu (Vietnam), Patricia Styles
