Program Introduction

From August 4 till 18 2007 The Foundation for Democratic Youth (DIA) and the Regional English Language Office (RELO) of the Embassy of the United States of America in Budapest will organize the „Teaching Tolerance through English” summer camp in Balatonlelle. The camp will host 75 high school students and 15 teachers from a total of 15 schools in Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and Serbia.

The program will help teachers and students to increase tolerance at their multi-ethnic schools through teaching English. The participants come from communities where different ethnic groups live side by side, and where practical skills and experience to improve mutual tolerance are still developing.

Two English Language experts, Mary Lou McCloskey, PhD (Atlanta, Georgia, USA), and Dr. Lydia Stack (San Francisco, USA) will train the teachers on how to effectively foster tolerance at their schools, while providing quality English teaching. In the morning the teachers and students participate in joint sessions. During the afternoons students will do sports, arts, and intercultural activities, while the teachers continue with their training.
