Students who want to improve their knowledge about the autonomy of South Tyrol? Our E-learning course “The autonomy of South Tyrol #forschools” offers a good opportunity to do so.

We encounter autonomy in South Tyrol in the most diverse moments and we are confronted with it directly or indirectly on a daily basis. The Center for Autonomy Experience developed a course that enables students (from the 3rd grade of secondary school) to deal with this topic independently, digitally and interactively.

In our 3-part e-learning course, students can independently and interactively find out the most important facts and topics concerning the autonomy of South Tyrol. In the first part, the term “autonomy” is explained and the history that led to the 2nd Statute of Autonomy is highlighted. In the second part we take a closer look at what South Tyrol can regulate itself, especially in terms of language use. In the third part we deal with the political organs of South Tyrol and with the legislation in a democracy in general.
