Press Release - International experts share their experiences at the Personal Learning Europe Conference in Cologne, Oct 2010.

KNOWLEDGE COMPENDIUM ON ORGANISATION OF TRAININGS IN CHOSEN DISAPPEARING PROF...ECKiW
Knowledge compendium on organisation of and conducting trainings in chosen disappearing professions, such as smith, wheeler, weaver, and baker/confectioner of traditional products, together with the examples of good practices, the analysis of craftsmen’s situation and vocational training systems in Poland, Germany, and Lithuania. This compendium is dedicated to people interested in providing or supervising training in disappearing professions as well as to trainees. Therefore, it enables one to systematise their knowledge in the field of training in disappearing professions, as well as it constitutes an educational support in the training process of young craftsmen.
The present publication has been produced within the project “Disappearing professions on the European job market” Action 2 – Strategic partnerships of the Erasmus+ Vocational education and training sector. This project resulted from the international partnership of organisations from Poland, Lithuania, and Germany which are connected with vocational training of the youth, and popularise disappearing professions and traditional craft together with innovative activities in order to improve the situation of the young on the job market. Due to the partnership between the European Centre of Education and Upbringing OHP in Roskosz (Poland), Oberhavel County (Germany), and Vilnius School of Technologies, Business and Agriculture (Lithuania) we teamed up to conduct mutual activities which enabled the exchange of experience and solutions at the European level between organisations active in the field of education, training and youth.

FInland National strategy to make working life in Finland the best in Europe by 2020.
The strategy’s vision is to make working life in Finland the best in Europe by 2020. Positive development
in the quality of working life is ultimately based on a high employment rate and a sufficient workforce.
Well-functioning, profitable workplaces that generate new employment are a prerequisite for Finland’s
future competitiveness and a good working life. Finnish working life must be developed through flexible
reforms, in a direction that strengthens the will and ability of as many people as possible to continue in
working life for sufficiently long, while remaining motivated. This means deepening trust and cooperation,
reinforcing innovation and productivity, and ensuring a skilled workforce and the health and well-being of
people and workplace communities.

Meet the MaastrichtMBA class of 2015. LEARN, GROW AND NETWORK
IN THE HEART OF EUROPE
The MaastrichtMBA is a joint initiative of
Maastricht School of Management (MSM)
and Maastricht University School of Business
and Economics (SBE).
The MaastrichtMBA is fl exibly available both for
full-time and part-time participants. The full-time,
residential format of the MaastrichtMBA has been
developed for managers and entrepreneurs with at
least three years of postgraduate work experience, who
have a passion for the challenges of managing and
leading organizations in a multicultural, global context.
The program combines the latest management thinking
with practice and applied research, with an emphasis
on leading and managing in multicultural settings.
The program is ranked #2 in the Netherlands according
to Eduniversal’s Best Masters ranking, internationally
accredited by NVAO, ACBSP, IACBE and AMBA, and
draws on MSM’s 60-year experience in management and
business education. It was one of the three nominees for
the Nuffi c Orange Carpet Award in 2014, in recognition
for its contribution to the internationalization of higher
education in the Netherlands. And MSM won the 3rd prize
in the prestigious MBA Innovation Award competition
organized by the Association of MBA’s (AMBA).
Graduates from the program have assumed leading
and challenging positions in the private and public
sectors, and have successfully started their own
entrepreneurial ventures.
DEVELOPING GLOBAL
LEADERSHIP SKILLS
Global and multicultural leadership skills are vital assets
for today’s managers. Joining the MaastrichtMBA class
will challenge participants to develop their management
skills in a diverse, international and multicultural
environment. The more than two dozen nationalities
represented in a typical class of the full-time, residential
format of the MaastrichtMBA create a stimulating
learning environment inside and outside the classroom.
This will help participants develop their global and
multicultural leadership skills and expand their global
network. Maastricht’s proximity to other major European
countries and MSM’s global network of partner
institutions, including partnership of the Global Business
School Network (GBSN), only add to our attractiveness
as an international management school.
RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT
MSM subscribes to high ethical standards in business
and strongly promotes corporate social responsibility
(CSR) and sustainable development. We subscribe to
the Principles for Responsible Management Education
(PRME). With CSR and business ethics constituting an
integral part of the MBA curriculum, participants will be
trained to become a responsible and effective manager.
STONG LINKS TO BUSINESS
COMMUNITY
Pursuing an MBA degree is not only about management
thinking and case studies. Our strong links to the business
community will give participants exposure to the best

• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
