Main area of competence:

                      - Latin American Cultural Studies

Other subjects offered by the successful applicant could include subjects within the following framework:

 

1. Democracy and Active Global Citizenship

(We already offer a comprehensive program in (a) Global Challenges, (b) Development Management, (c) International Politics, Relations and Diplomacy, therefore the school will give preference to applicants who can offer supplementary subjects or alternatively subjects that offer entirely new avenues of knowledge and skills within the area.

This can be a theoretical subject or focused on offering insights in and experience of working with human rights organizations, etc.

The responsibilities of a folk high school teacher are equally divided between teaching classes and actively participating in social life at the school together with other teachers and students alike. The International People’s College is always buzzing with life and activity and many teachers offer extracurricular activities such as recreational and reflective sessions, study circles, etc. We also want the ideal candidate to have an understanding of young people (age 18-25), the complexities, when to intervene, when to give space, as well as be role models for our students.
