Thank you.

++++++
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 14-18 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.
