Schools and Culture of Europe
Summer Institute
Six Hours of College Credit
June 12 to 26, 2008
Maastricht, The Netherlands
What's it all about?
The University of North Carolina at
Charlotte in cooperation with the European Orientation Center, a division of
the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands is offering six hours of
graduate or undergraduate credit through a fourteen-day educational tour of
cities and schools in Europe, June 12 to 26, 2008.
The institute will explore differences and similarities
among schools and school systems in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium,
and make comparisons with schools in the United States. The group will
visit elementary, middle, and high schools in cities of significant
historical interest. In the past, the Institute has visited schools in
Aachen, Germany; Maastricht and Amsterdam, the Netherlands; Brussels and
Liege, Belgium. The Institute can easily arrange for visits to schools
with special education programs. Many European schools will be in
session until mid-July. The focus of the Institute will be on the
understanding of how schools in other countries educate children.
The Institute is open to all teachers, administrators,
students, or others who want to learn more about European education and
culture. Spouses and non-educators are welcome. However,
Institute enrollment is limited.
This institute is a nonprofit venture between the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte in cooperation with
ExHem/European Orientation Center, associated with University of Maastricht.
