The second subject of the ICT project is the information
and communication technology (ICT).
We might give a marvellous presentation of this, decorated with
complicated definitions and terms. But we do not feel like it
and we have good reasons.
You, dear visitor, can read or watch this text, you only have
access to this information via a computer connected
to the Internet. Through the same channel, you
can tell us that you do not like our website. So, we can give
information and communicate with this new technology. Why
then explain what you already know, or even more, already use?
In the SDIT project, ICT is connected with
sustainable development and adult education, which gives several
possibilities. A narrow vision might consist in teaching adults
how to use computer and ICT, which might contribute to the sustainable
development of those people and their society.
A larger interpretation might be ,not only training adults in
the use of ICT, but at the same time giving them a education
in sustainable development.
The future will show whether the partnership will evolve into
that direction, which might lead to the Grundtvig 1 project.
Anyway, in the present project ICT is in function of education,
adult learning. We will not try to describe this relation. Already
too many educationalists have given their vision on it.
For more
information on the vision of the proper authorities, we refer
to the website of the ministers in question in Flanders and the
Netherlands. Then you will see that it is a much discussed subject,
and that we better not say but do something about it!
