Why we need moral competence:
Winner of the Outstanding Book Award in 2021 of the Moral Development and Education SIG of the American Educational Reserarch Association (AERA):
Democracy is a high moral ideal for many people. To become real, it must be learned!
If democracy should function its citizens must have the ability to solve problems and conflicts on the basis of these principles through weighing alternatives and discussing them with opponents, instead of ignoring them, or using violence and deceit, or through submitting to authorities. We call this ability moral-democratic competence.
I have developed the Konstanz Method of Dilemma-Discussion (KMDD)®, in order to foster this competence effectively and with little costs of money and time. Recently, I also turned into a new form of theater: the Discussion Theater "Speaking & Listening" (DT). (Lind 2002; 2019)
However, both methods are effective only if they are applied by well-trained and certified KMDD-Teachers. Fostering moral competence is not easy at all.
Participants who have completed the workshop and handed in a complete portfolio will get a KMDD-Trainee certificate. Fopr more information see the KMDD-Flyer.
In order to protect teachers' investment into their training, the KMDD® is registered in many countries (e.g. EU, China, Switzerland, Turkey) as an international trade mark.
Applicands should have some experience with teaching.However, students are also welcome.
The workshop-seminar will be directed by the creator of the KMDD, apl. Prof. em. Dr. Georg Lind.
After it, there will be an international online symposium with scholars and practitioners in the field of moral competence research and education..
