Visit cancelled but project accepted!
On 6 and 7 Sept 2003 there was planned a preparatory visit to
Mol of a Grundtvig 1 project, proposed by the AOF from Denmark
and by partners from Cyprus and Poland.This visit and the project
were cancelled because of a personnel change in AOF.
But we do not give up yet! In October NMS went further, Willy
wrote the pre-proposal and other partners from Cyprus, Italy,
Poland, Spain and the U.K. joined as partners our T4ADDY project.
In January the Commission approved this Training for Adults with
Dyslexic Disability-project and invited NMS to send in the full
proposal. The new deadline is the first of March, so February
will be a busy month...To be continued.
Deadline 1 Nov.
1 Nov. is traditionally the deadline for sending
in projects for different actions of the Socrates programme like
Minerva, Grundtvig a. o.
We received a lot of demands for partnerships and NMS finally
agreed to join as partner two other Grundtvig 1 projects. One
is co-ordinated by a partner from Latvia, the other by a partner
from Roumania. We also joined two Minerva projects with co-ordinators
of France and Italy. Finally the university of Lodz invited us
to participate in a cultural project of the fifth Framework.
Later we will keep you informed on the content and the results
of these proposals.

Promotions
Some co-operators started the new school or workyear
in a new function or a new institute.
Luc Vandeput spends half of his working time now in the Park
Abbey at Louvain, the location of the KUL central staff. Luc
has been promoted as head of the e-learning for all departments.
Remote learning is no new activity for Luc, and now he gets even
more acknowledgment and opportunities for the higher institute.
Ilse
Stroobants has chosen for a full-time teaching job after
years of project work at the Catholic Higher Institute Kempen
and the Strategic Plan Kempen. She already worked part-time in
the adult courses of the KHK, more specifically in the GPB, where
graduates can get a degree in Educational Skills to embark on
a teaching job. Now she also works part-time in St.
Clara’s College Arendonk.
Danny Vanderveken, our
water expert, also changed job and school on Sept 1.
Hardly recovered from the organisation of SPLASH, the 3rd European
Youth Congress for water, he departed for Kasterlee to become
the headmaster of St. Maria’s
Institute.
This secondary school is located near Goblin Hill and the
Kleine Nete , so that the macro- invertebrae may expect a visit of goblins
very soon!
NMS wishes
the three of them a lot of success and work satisfaction!
