AFTER VISITING AUSTRIAN SITE

December 2010

OCTOBER 14 TH, THURSDAY

10.00 Welcome in our office
(1030 Wien, Sechskrügelgasse 12/Top 1)



The Czech partners didn’t come to the meeting.
The coordinator got in touch with CC Systems. Obviously, our partner does have some financial difficulties and will give up with the project.

10.15 Status of the project – by coordinator

Considering the non attendance of the Czech partner, the number of remaining mobilities for each of partner was discussed in order for each country to be able to respect the conditions defined in the initial project.
It has been decided that France will organize the last mobility in Poitiers at the end of June 2011 and will welcome their partners again for a closing meeting.
To allow the French teams to have their number of mobilities, Linkconsulting, situated in Potenza (Italy), proposed to welcome France during the springtime. The other organizations are very interested to attend this meeting, because Linkconsulting developed many tools about “learning to learn” in a former partnership.
Our website begins to be enough provided with information, so we plan to communicate on its contents: the URL will be sent to the organizations dealing with the questions of adult education and key competences learning in each of the participating countries.

10.45 Results of the interim report (by partners)

None of the partners received news about the mid-report. France adds that, because of the relocation of the regional office of education in Poitiers, the website couldn’t be downloaded between the 20th of July and the 20th of August 2010. At the beginning of September everything went back to normal.
Austria received a complementary request of information from its national agency.

11.30 Austrian national report on “Key-Competences: communication in mother tongue – Activities in Austria”

Austria presented its national education system to all the partners: the document is available here

13.00 Lunch

           
A really good welcome of our Austrian partner : advices for the hotels, the public transports, the restaurants. A nice mood during the seminar.

15.30 Visit: Welcome at Wiener Ungarische Sprachschule
(1020 Wien, Hollandstrasse 4)
"Key Competence: Knowledge in mother-thongue"


Concerning the presentation of the key competence « communicate in the mother tongue » it was interesting to discover an other/new possibility of implementation of this skill: the mother tongue is not always the language of the country. This approach developed in Austria with the Bulgarian learners (for initial and continuous training) brings an interesting way of thinking: this approach could be implemented in the other participating countries, where the mother tongue is in practical terms translated with “language of the welcoming country”. In this particular case, the communication in an other language comes within the competence “communicate in a foreign language”.



The presentation is available here
