It is a training course on human rights for youngsters that the NGO RESPECT Refugiados has developed together with other five partner organisations (InformaGiovani - Italy, Global Youth Union Foundation -Armenia, Student-Youth Council - Georgia, FLARE Network - Italy and International Peace Bureau - Switzerland).
The aim of this course is to provide a training on human rights for members and volunteers of youth organisations, help them improve their knowledge and awareness on this issue and related fields (gender issues, social integration, democratic citizenship, children’s rights, refugees, immigrants, peace education, etc.). The training course can be downloaded free of charge from the project’s website.
This project was possible thanks to the help of the Council of Europe and the European Youth Foundation.
Elearningeuropa.info, the European reference portal on education and technology, launched on Thursday May 12, 2011 its new platform. It is designed and built user-centered and it contains participatory tools to communicate, share and discuss.
The new platform is the result of a year's work of careful planning and design, from the elearningeuropa.info team, with a focus on developing the technological solution most suited to user requests and aimed to facilitate a better flow of ideas and interaction.
The European Commission initiated elearningeuropa.info nine years ago, to support the transformation of education through technology. Available in 21 languages, it has now become a key forum for the generation and presentation of ideas.
elearningeuropa.info has more than 35.000 registered users with an average of 16.000 monthly visits. Thanks to this large user base the portal provides great opportunities for research and exchange of ideas and information amongst researchers, practitioners, students and policy makers across Europe. The portal re-launch will also benefit from the use of the latest cutting edge open source technology: A new Content Management System (CMS) has been deployed based on the award winning 'Drupal'.
The portal's online journal 'eLearning Papers' will be presenting its new visual identity and structure in the new platform. A leading publication in its field, the journals five annual issues are guided by an Editorial Committee chaired by Tapio Koskinen, Head of New Solutions at Aalto University Professional Development.
Some of the new sections the portal has launched are blogs, which offer users the chance to express their opinions and insight as well as a dedicated TV Channel which offers users the possibility to find the most relevant and highest quality videos about education and technology in one place.
In addition, users will be able to create communities and working groups around themes and topics of interest and use these privileged spaces to display their content to a wider audience. These communities are the ideal space for co-creation and sharing ideas. The first communities are up and running with discussions and insight into Language Learning and Social Media; Open Education virtual worlds and gaming. Join us to explore them and share your experience.
