The significance of your membership of the DiZ

• Members of the DiZ are generally invited to the centre’s annual general meeting once a year. This serves to provide regular updates and facilitate a broad exchange of ideas within the centre. There is no obligation to attend the annual general meeting.
• Members receive the centre’s information service (a biannual newsletter, information on cross-school, teacher-training-related research initiatives, announcements of conferences and calls for proposals) and can also make use of the centre’s administrative office’s network of regional schools and teachers.
• Details about the centre, its governing bodies and its rules can be found on this website: https://uol.de/diz/gremien

Those involved in teacher training in Oldenburg look forward to engaging with you.
