Europe and Latin America: Needs, Curriculum and Implementation”
(forthcoming 2009) These publication stem from assignments, seminars, projects and reports of navreme and its partners across Europe. The content of these publications is practice-oriented, they are rather working tools than academic or theoretical aspirations. They may develop into fully-fledged books in the future, if so needed. In their present shape, they are meant to stimulate the creativity of colleagues to use and adapt them as appropriate. We hope these booklets will encourage many of you to upgrade, deepen, valorise and extend the value of projects, evaluations, and resulting learning - in order to enable us to do our jobs a little better in the future! Vol 10: A Master in Intercultural Education for Europe
and Latin America: As a product from the INTER-Alfa
Project this book will present the experience of each institution/partner,
and of the entire group, on the process to design the Euro-Latin-American
Post-graduate programme on intercultural education. The overall
aim is to make the effort and learning of the group available to
other institutions which may be interested in the establishment
of cooperation between universities, and in particular, in the field
of intercultural education.
The book will present short essays with findings from the TT+
project. findings from a number of different research methodologies
including literature analyses, study and meta-analysis of regional,
national and European studies, projects, reports and initiatives,
surveys, consultation with experts, institutions and other organisations,
research seminars, case studies and use cases. In particular, a
learned-centred approach has been chosen. Rather than collecting
information via the usual national case studies, the innovative
project method investigates cases of practice in several EU countries,
which allow for the identification of instances of change, for the
description of examples of innovation, for the abstraction of scenarios
of practice, and for the development of use cases. This is being
undertaken in parallel with innovative conceptual work on visualisation
of experience, practice and policies. A variety of outputs is planned,
and more are emerging during the duration of work, culminating in
a proposal to formulate a Europe-wide framework for professional
development of trainers, based on the current practice, on the trends
emerging, and on the desirable role of EU policies in VET.
The bold existence of racism in European schools, as it was documented and analysed by the INTER Group (see volume 6 below), lays the ground for producing teaching materials that help to address questions in the classroom and school-life. Whatever diversities exist in our school-classes, the only way to address the resulting difficulties is to learn to manage them. The next step of the INTER group was therefore obvious: this Guide on Anti-Racism for Teachers and Students.
Vol 7c: From Here to There: Relevant Experience
from Higher Education Institutions As the last volume of the HE trilogy, contributions here focus
on institutions of Higher Education. Research findings stem from
the (EU Socrates) NESOR
project which aims to revise the reference model of the Lisbon
Strategy – the knowledge based society and economy –
and the emerging new social inequalities based on the disposability
and the use of knowledge in this society. Articles look for the
contribution of the universities to combat the new forms of social
exclusion and to elaborate a model of higher education in the globalised
knowledge based society. These project results are coupled with
practical examples of assisting university reform and relevant hands-on
experience by university managers. Questions addressed range from
social risks, the European social model, or mechanisms against exclusion,
to the necessity to deal with global citizenship, human rights or
fundamental values - like those enshrined in the Magna Charta of
the European Universities. Vol 7b: From Here to There: Mileposts of European
Higher Education The general trends in European Higher Education towards a devolution
of state authority, combined with the decrease of funding for higher
education, and the growth in higher education enrolment, all have
put also public universities under strain to seek additional sources
of income beyond the annual state allocation. University managers
have started to think (a little) more entrepreneurial, but professors
and students still find it almost indecent that the solemn nature
of their alma mater is being debased by discussions about such mundane
issues like money... Vol 7a: From Here to There: Mileposts in Higher
Education We tend to speak of the university. The idea has proven to be stronger than the effects of real diversification, and even in serious debates the questions what a real university has to be are not infrequent. And its future? It seems that the future has become either an ex-trapolation of the present into infinite space and time, or set of scenarios which reflect more of our fears and hopes than our options to change the world in order to keep it going. Indeed, has the university a future? Contributions from all continents describe changes in governance, demography and research/teaching tasks, with remarkable differences between the continents.
Given the rejection of race-based discourses by many Europeans,
the findings of the present (bi-lingual) study by the INTER group
are surprising, and shocking. The interviews carried out in schools
in Madrid, Spain, are clear: Youngsters emphatically state that
they
Vol 5: Searching, Lurking, and the Zone of Proximal Development
Perhaps the most important question is the relationship between education and training systems and informal learning. There is currently much attention paid to informal learning at a policy level. As such the concern is to develop an exchange value to learning which at present is seen only as having use value. A better approach might be to recognise the use value of informal learning through profiling learning in non-constrained (e)-portfolios. Such an approach would provide a major move to learner driven learning where all learning is valid rather than only recognising that learning supported by qualification frameworks.
The INTER Guide has been jointly designed by the partners in the
INTER Project as
a practical tool to provide the reader with support in analyzing,
implementing and improving Intercultural Education in school practices.
While writing it we have been focused on teachers in training and
teachers in service, but we hope it could be also useful to anyone
with a direct or indirect interest in thinking critically about
Education as well as to those who are not satisfied with the current
state of the art for whatever the reasons and want to change and
improve the ways in which we are currently teaching and learning.
Vol 3: Let Nets Work [ navreme at five: Festschrifterl ] This Festschrifterl (or Mini-Digest) is the collection of contributions
to, congratulations for, and credentials of, navreme on occasion
of its fifth birthday. Invitees, partners and speakers were invited
to contribute to this booklet by sending a short text with a statement/summary/
greeting/wish for the past, present or future of navreme. At the
anniversary party
on 28 January 2006 in Vienna, additional ideas and wishes were issued
orally or via music and art. While it is not possible to fully capture
these in a printed publication, they contributed greatly to the
enjoyable festivity and fervent celebration. Guests were present
from Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Macedonia, Peru, Sweden, Turkey,
United Kingdom, USA, and Uzbekistan. Many more wanted to come, and
manifestly attended in a virtual way. In several languages and viewpoints,
the sum of contributions describes the pitfalls and achievements
of a fascinating network enterprise of the 21st century, between
precarity and innovation. Vol 2: Tools for Process Evaluation
Vol 1: Project Manager's Guide to Evaluation You can order all navreme publications against a contribution to
printing costs of 20€ each via e-mail to publications@navreme.net.
