Mission completed with ECER'06: Information on follow-up measures and on the new VETNET blogs
29-September-2006
permalink email thisMy series of blog postings "Reports and messages from ECER'06 in Geneva" have tried to give an overview on some main events and issues witin the VETNET programme. This posting shifts the emphasis from conference blogging to the follow-up activities (the VETNET memorandum on EQF. In this context I can inform on the rearrangement of the weblogs on the VETNET site.
With seven reports that have been published on this site I have completed my work a conference blogger on the VETNET programme at ECER'06 in Geneva. I hope that these reports could sketch a picture on the event as a whole (inasmuch I could cover it) and provide insights into key themes, ongoing debates and into emerging initiatives. As I could only provide a personal overview, I would be happy if other participants could present complementary views or comments. The blog is an open arena.
As I have completed the reporting task I need to remind myself and others that the VETNET community agreed to take some homework regarding the monitoring of the progress with European Qualification Framework (EQF). For this purpose the hosts of the VETNET website have set up a separate blog "VETNET Forum: Discussion on the European Qualification Framework". As the initiator of the follow-up activity of the VETNET Forum I invite the readers of this message to have a look at the new blog. I hope that it can be used as a joint platform for informing the European VET researchers on current developments that are related to the next phase of preparing EQF. In particular I welcome inputs from projects that are linked to EQF or to the development of national and sectiral qualification frameworks.
On this occasion the hosts of the VETNET website have reviewed the set of blogs that is available on the VETNET website. In addition to the "ECER weblog" and the "VETNET Forum" blog a third blog has been made available for "VETNET community news". It will hopefully serve the purpose of exchanges news across the VETNET community. Hopefully the new VETNET board can make god use of this platform.
I end this message with a personal announcement. This conference blogging completes my mission as VETNET board member 2000-2006. The new board has started its work. From now on I will concentrate on the "VETNET Forum" activity and on the preparation of the "VETNET Memorandum".
Looking forward to seeing you at the VETNET Forum
