TERMS OF PARTICIPATION
Although Fribourg is a nice city and the atmosphere among students from all over the world is always friendly, the course on Federalism, Decentralisation and Conflict Resolution is not holiday. On the contrary, it is aimed at high level students who are keen to improve their knowledge.
We set value on diversity among students but we understand that all participants must be treated equal, despite different academic or cultural background.
We consider important the following terms of participation:
1. Attendance during the whole course is compulsory. Late arrivals or early departures are not possible. Please do not apply if you know in advance that you cannot attend the whole programme.
2. Participation in all sessions (lectures, group work, discussions) is mandatory. Participants missing more than 2 sessions (half day, cumulated) will not be granted a diploma.
3. In case of sickness or if you cannot attend a class for any reason you must inform the organisers. Please note that point 2 applies in this case too, unless you bring a doctor's certificate.
4. Be punctual!
5. During sessions, the use of cell phones is not allowed. Tablets and laptops can be used to take notes but not for private activities (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc.).
