Date and time: Friday, 14th December 2007, 14.00-16.00h (julebord and food from 16.00-ca 18.00)

The one-year undergraduate study programme "Sport, culture and development co-operation" has been part of NIH's study portfolio for a number of years. Its distinct focus on sport used as a tool in development co-operation has been unique in the international landscape of universities. It has tried to combine students' practical field experience in sport for development projects with academic perspectives placing the practical work in a political, cultural and historical context.
 
A number of students who completed the study programme have continued to work with sport and development co-operation: as practicioners, students at Masters level or even doctorate level. Also the Discussion Forum on Sport for Development and Peace is a result of it, as its initiators and many of its active members are former students of the programme.
 
Through the years several adjustments have been made. Amongst others, the study programme now involves a co-operation with the University of Western Cape in South Africa.
 
What is the future of the "Sport, culture and development co-operation" study programme at NIH? And what is the future of "Sport and development" at NIH as a taught subject and a field of research?
 
Our presenter, Nina Kahrs, co-ordinator "Sport, culture and development co-operation" study programme at NIH, will open the debate by providing an overview over the historical development of the study programme and sketch its possible future.
