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.
