NewsPlease feel welcome to join the first GINCO webinar on Monday the 16th of January, 11.00h . In this webinar Jaap van Lakerveld will explain some GINCO quality tools. These tools are helpful to those who wish to set up a Grundtvig course, or those who wish to apply for a Grundtvig project in which a course is envisaged as one of the eventual outcomes.
In one of the international projects PLATO is involved in, a book has been published that deals with the variety of ‘educational practitioners’ in the field of lifelong learning and with their professional development.
PLATO participates in a European study which is called 'Tertiary Higher Education for People in Mid-life' (THEMP).
Recently GINCO has published and spread its first newsletter. Also the second conference in Thessaloniki (Greece) is announced.
During the last month PLATO played an active role at a congress on trends in in-service education in Serbia and at a conference of the school inspectorates and (in service) teacher educators in Poland.
This book includes many of the CLIMATE project outcomes: theory, research data, case studies, as well as tools to be used in schools.
PLATO is currently active in the GINCO network. GINCO is a Grundtvig network existing of 21 partners who aim to create a European wide network of adult education organisations running Grundtvig courses or willing to do so in the future.
A national task force has developed a framework that covers competencies of teachers in medical education. PLATO-researcher Jacqueline Bustraan was part of this task force. The guidelines have recently been published in the journal Medical Teacher.
The PLATO project Self-Evaluation in Adult Lifelong Learning (SEALLL) has received an honourable mention at the International Prize from the Stichting voor Hogeschoolwerk (Foundation for Higher Educaion). Every year this prize is awarded to a Ducht organisation or institution, that uses its expertise to create innovative projects in the area of adult education on an international level.
PLATO and Research voor Beleid (RvB) have published the research report: Adult Learning Professions in Europe (ALPINE).
