The Yunnan Institute of Development (YID), based in Yunnan Province's Yuxi Prefecture, is a Sino-Danish non-governmental organization, non-formal adult education institute established in 2001 in partnership with Yuxi Teacher College. The project co-ordinator is Elizabeth Axelsen. ==Work== It aims to promote social development in China, Africa and India. Activities include educating people about health, hygiene and HIV, building schools and helping poor farmers with bio-gas and microfinance. Participants are trained in 11-month courses as ‘Development Instructors’ (DI) interested in learning about and practicing development. Chinese and foreign participants can choose to conduct development work in Yunnan and then in Africa or India. There are no special qualifications needed to join the Development Instructor programme. From 2008 the Institute is to also implement shorter courses for project managers. At YID, education is based on "learning by doing". The Institute is a place where the participant plans and implements their own education, where the teacher is a facilitator and where the participant is primarily responsible for their own exploratory learning. YID also runs a Rural Community Development Project called Child Aid, where the DI's receive practical training and actually live and work during their five month practical training period. YID works closely together with local authorities in the rural areas and in the city. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yunnan Institute of Development」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
