INTRODUCTION
The core of the Socrates on the Move Project (see previous e-mail) will
be made up of the activities of 50 Socrates Promoters, students coming
from 30 participating countries who will act as multipliers, passing on
relevant information regarding the Socrates II programme to fellow
students .
The 50 Socrates Promoters will attend a Training (for Trainers) in
Brussels from 13-16 March 2000. During a one week course they will receive
knowledge and skills training that will enable them to organise and
participate in a number of promotional events related to the Socrates II
programme and mobility issues in their respective countries.
Experts from the European Commission and other institutions/organisations
active in the field of Mobility in Education will provide the Socrates
Promoters with all relevant information regarding the Socrates II
programme, recognition of studies abroad (ECTS and diploma supplement),
and other Community programmes relevant to students, such as Tempus and
Leonardo. Skills training will mainly concern communication, presentation
and moderation skills, organisation skills, time management etc.
The 50 Socrates Promoters will be selected among the members of the three
organisations (AEGEE, ESIB, ESN). They will commit themselves to
participate in the Socrates on the Move project for the entire year 2000.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE SOCRATES PROMOTERS?
The Socrates Promoters will be crucial players in the promotion of the
Socrates II programme among students and within higher education
institutions in their respective countries. They will receive training,
information and contacts to enable them to pass on information about
Socrates II and Mobility in Education. As student experts they will
contact National Socrates Agencies, ministries, higher education
institutions and other relevant organisations to give input at their
events and other activities. They will work closely with the networks of
their respective organisations in either organising student mobility
related events and/or developing strategies concerning the European
Education programmes and mobility issues.
