Hi, as I now that your region is always very interested in education topics I am sending you info about this Education Training School. Maybe I will see some of you there :) Greetings from the cloudy side of the alps Ciao Sebastian Education Working Group Here we go... You always wanted to find out about all the opportunities the SOCRATES programme can offer? Do you wonder why studying abroad is not yet common for all students? Do you want to acquire the skills employers are looking for? Are you as a student interested in Education and want to find out what you can do to get active? The Education Working Group of AEGEE-Europe invites you to experience the first Education Working Group Training School! It will take place in Passau from 11th ? 14th October 2001 and only 25 very motivated and active students from all over Europe will be allowed to take part. So be quick! Mobility of students and teachers is one of the key factors in order to achieve a European identity. In the field of higher education, especially the introduction and expansion of the European mobility programmes (Socrates) has improved the situation a lot during the last 15 years. Nevertheless, obstacles still remain which limit mobility between universities. Regarding students, the most common problems are the lack of information, linguistic problems, financial problems despite state aid, difficulties in obtaining residence permits, non-compatible curricula or other reasons which form obstacles concerning the recognition of credits gained while studying abroad. In the Training School, we will discuss innovative solutions and concepts such as the Bologna Process, which aims at realising a European area of higher education until 2010. Together, we will look at the SOCRATES Programmes and the Bologna Process, which aims at realising a European Area of Higher Education until 2010. Furthermore, you will learn about the Education Working Group, its history and future, and how to get active in it. You will have the chance to improve your communication and presentation skills, to get informed about project management and funding possibilities at the European level and much more. And of course, you will meet many wonderful people and will have lots of fun as well! : ) We are waiting for your application! : ) Participation Fee 20 Euro (Reduction for Central and East Europeans possible) Find more information and apply under http://www.aegee.org/wg/ewg (please add a motivation letter of around 300 words to your application) Greetings from sunny Heidelberg Ciao Sebastian Education Working Group ________________________________________________ "Wenn Du ein Schiff bauen willst, so trommele nicht Maenner zusammen, um Holz zu beschaffen, Werkzeuge zu benutzen, Aufgaben zu vergeben und die Arbeit aufzuteilen, sondern lehre die Sehnsucht nach dem weiten endlosen Meer."
