Optional courses
The Eduki Foundation invites teachers to organize a program of visits and debates in various international organizations, based on a pre-defined theme, over a semester or a year. Alternating between classroom courses and outings, the program offers a comprehensive overview of the many players in international cooperation.
An optional course on international relations
The Eduki Foundation, together with Secondary II teachers, organizes the complementary option "meeting with Geneva International". It can be spread over 1 or 2 semesters and deal with one or more themes of international relations.
It is chosen, in agreement with the teacher, that between 1 and 3 themes of the international cooperation are to be progressively studied. For each theme, presentations are organized in international and non-governmental organizations. Each time, an expert on the theme presents their organization and their work. The presentation of the expert is preceded by a course of preparation carried out in class by the teacher.
