The College of Education of the University of Santo Tomas and the Kapit-Bahay Community Center, Incorporated, approached the Israeli Embassy in Manila, Philippines, with a request for expertise in the area of early childhood. As a result of this request, the Mount Carmel International Training Centre, located in Haifa, Israel, submitted a proposal for a 2-week comprehensive pre-elementary personnel training course, which subsequently served as the basis for a 10-day on-the-spot seminar workshop that took place in January, 1981. This document includes a description of course development, participants, staff, background and rationale, objectives, and process, as well as a day-by-day description of activities. A brief discussion of course effectiveness is also included. (MP)
