Contact Seminar (Sandefjord, Norway) - October 2011

These are my notes:

- peer-mentoring = students supporting students

- Communication tools:

      -> Teachers' wiki (upload documents, forum, contents, calendar, deadlines, ...)
      -> Students' wiki (contents, links to Facebook, documents, calendar, forum, ...)
      -> Individual blogs (link to teachers' wiki)
      -> Facebook (students introducing themselves, videoclips, ...)

- Mobilities:

      -> 12 mobilities in 2 years (1 mobility = 1 trip / 1 person)
      -> saving expenses (each country can maximize the number of students in each trip)
      -> 1st mobility (kickoff): France, in February (only staff)
      -> host (organized visit) - guests (pay their expenses)

"Learning partnership" application form:

- mín 3 partners from 3 different countries
- 2-year projects
- deadline for the application: Feb 2012
- "Learning partnership" objectives:   www.europeansharedtreasure.eu

       -> learning form each other                                
       -> students & staff exchanges                            
       -> cooperate in theme of common interest         
       -> easy to manage for the grant holders                
       -> managed by the National Agencies               
       -> active learners' involvement
       -> mobilities included
       -> staff and organizational development (exchange, develop, test and put into practice)
      -> new pedagogical methods and approaches

Recommendations:

- have more than one contact person in every institution we're working with.
- anchor tasks and objectives.
- there must be an added value.
- "International Assessment of Adult Competences" (PIAAC) -> www.oecd.org/piaac
