How to learn from EU Grundtvig courses?
Most of the contributions we produce for the debate on the quality of European Grundtvig courses are quite systematic, almost scientific.
Sometimes it is useful to also describe the challenges in a more informal way.
This is what I do in this paper, addressing the key problem:
- how can adult educators actually learn from Grundtvig courses, and why do we relate this challenge to ICT?

Pervasive
Healthcare and the healthcare educations
The new wave of health technologies, being developed right now and
soon ready to be implemented, will cause serious structural changes
in the healthcare sector og and will highly influence the daily
tasks of the healthcare staff.
The key concept is called Pervasive Healthcare, meaning that as
many of the healthcare activities as possible should be moved away
from the hospitals, the modern cathedrals, and integrated in the
personal and family life of the patients – in their home,
at the workplace, whereever they might be or go... Pervasive here
means everywhere: healthcare activities should be imbedded and integrated
in all kind of life environments, and the treatment of health problems
should be carried through whenever needed by the patient and wherever
the patient might be at that moment. |

euroARTnet
This art and media project was born during a transnational course
at the Università della LiberEtà in Udine, Italy,
in June 2006. The project idea had been developed and discussed
some months before at another transnational event in Udine.
The project presents a very new way of promoting art, empowering
local artists for effecient dissemination of their works and exploring
the potentials and limitations of the internet.
Furthermore the project will be aiming to produce a model for the
dissemination of lesser known artists in Europe, a model that is
expected to benefit other groups of artists after the project.
From the very beginning several organisations throughout Europe
have showed a serious interest in the project. The project expects
to count partners from 7 or 8 European countries and to represent
all European regions. |

euroCALL
The overall goal of the euroCALL Grundtvig project is to develop,
support and link together new centres or sites for nonformal free
adult lifelong learning in countries where such centres are highly
needed and with weak adult education traditions. The euroCALL project
is based on a strong synthesis of the Scandinavian adult education
traditions and the many years of best practice of the Università
delle LiberEtà in Udine, Italy, who has worked with free
and nonformal teaching of all kinds of adults since 1993. This synthesis
has been developed and prepared since a Grundtvig Contact Seminar
in 2003. |

Computer
Clubhouse Aarhus
Aarhus is one of the cities in Denmark, that has had a lot of difficulties
handling the frustrated groups of young people.
Many initiatives have been launched, but everybody knows, that they
do not seem to be able to connect to the energies and behaviours
of these groups of young people.
The global youth network Computer Clubhouse is now introduced in
Denmark. We have been preparing this for the last 3 years and we
are now ready to build a clubhouse in Aarhus.
Computer Clubhouse is a learning and development environment for
this underserved and exclusion threatened youth and an environment,
that in a radical new way offer the young people a place for developing
and expressing their talents and resources, actively using the new
media technologies. |

newsBREAKERkids
- intercultural learning for primary school classes using the
journalistic learning approach, the internet and childrens’
natural curiosity.
The project activities and basic methods will provide the children
of underserved families with a new learning motivation based on
the personal and product-oriented journalistic approach.
This Commenius project will develop new ways for school children
from third to seventh grade to communicate with children and classes
in other European cities using internet and multimedia, integrating
the transnational activities in the curricula and supporting the
contact between underserved parents and the schools.

Multimedia
for European projects
These papers introduce partners and projects to the subject of using
webbased multimedia material for the projects and for the possible
training activities in the projects.
The first paper is an introduction to the field of multimedia ("what")
and the second is a practical guide ("how") to establishing
the needed cooperation between different professionals in the projects.
The papers are very short and easy to read.
An important
part of the development of a European project is the design and
production of good quality materials. The project material is expected
to be a combination of project productions and local productions,
and of traditional paper material and web based multimedia material.
The purpose of this paper is to prepare the project for the design
and production of the web based multimedia material – and
more specifically to prepare the partner discussions.
Some of the partners might have worked with multimedia and web based
material, some partners have not. Therefore it is important to us
to develop a mutual understanding. |

E-learning
and Multimedia
s u m m a r y
The Social and Health Care School in Aarhus are developing and practising
new educational environments for short terme vocational courses
using new technology for communication, cooperation and learning
material.
We call the new courses e-learning courses, because the traditional
classroom and teacher organization is partly replaced by internet
communication and participant cooperation.
The traditional one or two week classroom courses have been developed
into mixed courses over a period of 2 month – integrating
5 to 7 days of classroom activities and internet based activities
between the face to face sessions.
The participants in these courses are care takers from 25 to 60
years of age. Most of them are not familiar with the new technologies
and independent learning activities.

Supporting
the wEak-LEARNER
i n t r o
This is not a scientific paper. It is more like a personal approach
to some very complex problems: how to deal with the fact, that a
very large part of the european population have no wish at all to
reenter the fields of (e-)learning.
The suggestions presented in this paper are very much based on the
inspiration from the work of Seymour Papert, MIT Media Lab US, and
from the global youth inclusion project Computer Clubhouse Network,
launched by MIT Media Lab some ten years ago.
