Objectives
The objective of the certificate program is to understand Pestalozzi’s ethos through historical sources. Furthermore, the impact of Christian humanism is to be conveyed far beyond the Christian world (e.g. by the example of the Red Cross, Red Crescent). Thus a basic knowledge for the social, pedagogical and theological acting as a Christian will be developed. In addition, social and historical consequences of Christian ethics should become understandable.
The certificate contains of
- a) Introduction to Pestalozzi’s ethos: history and documents, reality and goals
- b) History of the impact of Christian humanism based on a concrete example (Red Cross)
- c) role of humanism in societies – historically and in the present based on the concrete place of residence of the students
A seminar paper should be delivered at the end of the course with about 5 pages.
