Nonformal Mindmaps

NFE goes W� — Sat, 31 May 2008 12:23:00 +0000

Throughout the seminar, we developed quite a number of mindmaps about different questions and discussions.

You can find them all inside this post — in their original format (.mm), which you can use with the Java-based Freeware-software Freemind and as a pdf.

Pdf and mm are accompanied by a screenshot, but please be aware that these screenshots are not showing the full mindmap — so make sure to use the pdf or the original file!

Political context of recognition

Manfred von Hebel from the Youth Policy Unit of the General Directorate for Education and Culture of the European Commission introduced the political context and European Union framework for the increasing initiatives to strengthen the recognition of nonformal learning to us.

Thanks to Manfred for sharing his presentation with us (ppt 2.2 MB). For your convenience, we have also embedded the slides right here for a fast click-thru:

In preparation of the seminar, we asked you to find one webthingie that works well with its target group or with young people or with nonformal education. Here are, in no specific order, your webthingies:

Welcome to NFE goes W³

We have been waiting for this moment for a long time… And it’s great that — finally — we are here in Tallinn; coming together to explore synergies, potentials, challenges and problems of the marriage between nonformal education and the worldwideweb.

So let’s make these days as special as possible — let’s rock’n'roll!

One page must be enough

Sometimes it just takes a cool project for an idea to be realised that has existed for a long time. This networking seminar has — at long last — given us reason, motivation and energy to try and collect all necessary information on just one page. Don’t you think we make too many words, sometimes?
