ComEducation will meet in Norrtälje

The Presidium of the Commission on Education met in Norrtälje to discuss the final program of the Commission's conference and the meeting to be held in Norrtälje in September 2005.

Life-long learning and styles of learning. There will be a two-day seminar on 7-8 September lead by teachers and headmasters from Norrtälje on flexible learning. It will start with an introduction about the Swedish school system. The seminars will also include distance education, tailored educational programs, communication systems and infrastructure. Special attention will be given to styles of learning and integration of subjects. We also intend to include an excursion to the new Campus Roslagen in Norrtälje with several higher education programs.

Commission on Education will meet on 9-12 September. All UBC-members are invited to send delegates to this meeting as well as to the seminars two days earlier. Take the opportunity to see the beautiful town of Norrtälje and to take part in very interesting seminars. During our meeting on Friday we would like to inform about the Erken Laboratory summer research school for students aged 17-20 and about the examples of Comenius projects. Furthermore, we intend to discuss possibilities for cooperation with other commissions (Sport and Environment). The seminar days in Norrtälje will be reviewed and we also hope to get information from the UBC Board.

Invitations will be sent through the UBC Secretariat and we hope to attract many members. The Commission on Education presidium looks forward to seeing you in September!
