f ! v .THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1980 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. West Germany Moving To Help Underdeveloped Countries Berlin - IUPD - The German iToundation for Underdevelop ed Countries is one of West Germany's latest efforts to assist the people of Asia, Afri "ca and Latin America. The government - sponsored foundation offers six week Jraining courses for bank di rectors, school directors, local government administrators, cooperative managers, indus trial managers and others from underdeveloped coun tries. In addition, it gives one week courses to German spe cialists preparing to go to work In such countries. ; The foundation was set up by an initial 500,000 marks ($119,048) grant from the Ger jnan federal treasury and is housed in West Berlin's lux urious Borsig Estate, built by Germany's former "locomo tive king." Expanses Paid ; In addition, the German Foreign Office pays for living expenses, and in many cases transportation, for the normal ly top-level trainees from for eign lands. - The foundation provides Ihree weeks of lectures in the Javish drawing and conference rooms or the Borsig mansion, ends the studen-guests on a two-week tour of related Ger man industries, and then winds up the course with a one-week consolidation and evaluation session, i Instructors for the seminars and tours are selected from .' among some of Germany's top industrial, university and gov ernment experts and officials. Among the objectives out lined by Program Director Dieter Dankwort are: -That foreign experts learn something in their specialties that they can use at home. - -That they make "personal contacts of a lasting nature" .with specialists in Germany. ,. -That they gain more poli tical understanding of the situation in Germany and more realistic understanding of what communism is 'Moved' by Contrast ';, Dankwort said the foreign -student-guests tour East Ber lin as a part of the course and ;that they generally are "mov d" by the contrast with West JJerlin. r Though the foundation was established last year, renova tion of the Borsig Estate, pre vented the beginning of lec-' lures before last June. Week-long sessions are held .for instructors before each ;'group of foreign guests ar .rives. At these sessions the in structors learn about their pu pils, and the customs, needs, and peculiarities of the cowv tries from which they come. The first course for foreign guests during July and August was on agricultural coopera tives. Representatives came from Iran, Iraq, Burma, Thai land, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Turkey and Greece. In each case the German embassies extended invitations to the various governments, asking them to select candi dates who presented outlines of their backgrounds, training needs, and benefits which might be achieved by such training. Candidates Approvtd The German Foreign Office then passed approval on the candidates. The second foreign group is studying professional schools (from Aug. 24 to Sept. 25). Participants came from Pakis tan, Ceylon, Lebanon, Jordan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria, Thailand and Greece. In November a group of German steel experts and ad ministrators will be given a week's course on India, before being sent there to work in the steel mill being construct ed by the West German gov ernment at Rourkelam. Dankwort said the program for 1961 already has been fill ed and will include courses for eight different foreign groups from Asia, Africa and South America. The foreign groups are made up of about 30 members who fall into the 35 to 45 year age bracket. Dankwort explained t h a t the foundation has other func-1 tions than teaching the for-, eign and German groups. It collects and compiles a bibliography of all German ! books and articles and lectures 1 on the problems of the under-1 developed countries and ways of assisting them.
