Student at international teacher training college
Job Description
The school’s own production
Production is a core activity of humankind. Throughout our
lives, we spend most of our time producing something in order to
earn a living. Production is the basis for a society to survive, and
if it is to thrive and develop, that society must produce a surplus.
At the foundation of any productive unit lies its production.
What kind of product shall it produce? Who will pay for it? What
is its purpose?
Following that, how shall the productive unit actually earn the money it needs to cover its
expenses? And what will it take to earn a surplus, which not only allows for feeding, clothing
and housing those who produce, but also allows for expansion and development?
At DNS, the course programs constitute the main production, but within the frame
of these programs, we are continuously producing a range of different and very interesting
products.
Here are some examples:
* Making reports, presentations, radio broadcasts, documentaries, and other products for the Public Arena
* Teaching people
* Giving youngsters new life skills
* Working with boarding students in formation and educational programs
* Improving buildings
* Growing fruits and vegetables
* Cooking delicious and healthy meals
* Working together with people in working places in Europe
* Building muscles, stamina and new brain connections
* Improving health
* Gaining knowledge and insight
* Acquiring wisdom
* Getting new ideas
* Building comradeship
* Earning money through fundraising and creating values through practical work
As a student at the DNS college, you will – together with the teachers – be involved in carrying out
all these productions.
