This document summarizes findings from study visits in 2008-2009 related to developing key competences in education and training, with a focus on communication in foreign languages and social/civic competences. Some common approaches identified across countries included early foreign language learning starting in pre-primary levels, using various models of language delivery (separate subjects, bilingual programs, CLIL), and recognizing the value of the Common European Framework of Reference. Challenges included the need for effective organization at all levels and well-trained teachers. Examples of good practices sharing experiences across practitioners and policymakers were identified.
The Bordeaux Communiqué summarizes the priorities and strategies of the Copenhagen process on enhancing cooperation in European vocational education and training. It discusses progress made since 2002 in developing tools to improve transparency and recognition of skills between countries. Key priorities going forward include implementing these tools at national levels, increasing quality and attractiveness of vocational training systems, better linking training to labor market needs, and strengthening European cooperation on vocational education.
The Council adopted conclusions on establishing a new strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training from 2009 to 2020. The framework aims to support national education reforms and make progress toward four strategic objectives: 1) making lifelong learning a reality, 2) improving quality and efficiency, 3) promoting social inclusion, and 4) enhancing creativity and innovation. European countries will work together on priority areas in three-year cycles and monitor progress through reporting. The conclusions call on member states to cooperate using these guidelines to strengthen education cooperation across Europe.
This document summarizes a synthesis seminar on the policy relevance of the study visits programme. Over 50,000 education and training specialists have participated in study visits programmes, gaining new professional experiences and sharing information with peers and policymakers. The study visits programme has increasingly focused on fostering links to European and national policy development. By promoting peer learning, quality programming, and information sharing, the study visits programme aims to actively contribute to the EU's strategic objectives on education and training.

Virtual schools and colleges provide online education as an alternative for students who have difficulty accessing traditional schools. This document discusses characteristics of European virtual schools and colleges, including key factors for their success. It provides case studies of several virtual schools and colleges across Europe that serve different student populations, such as those who are hospitalized long-term, geographically isolated, or unable to attend regular schools. The document concludes that strong leadership, a clear e-learning strategy, emphasis on learning outcomes, and availability of appropriate learning resources are important factors for the sustainability of virtual schools and colleges.

This document discusses policy imperatives driving open educational resources (OER). It provides context on the growth of the OER movement over 10 years but lack of uptake. The POERUP project aims to stimulate OER uptake through policy by building on previous initiatives and producing country reports and case studies. It discusses the policy pyramid in Europe from UNESCO declarations to institutional policies. Key areas addressed include enabling environments, strategies and policies, open licensing, capacity building, partnerships, languages/cultures, research, and finding/sharing resources. The presentation argues for considering evidence and existing policies to develop feasible national and regional OER policies.

Антон Минашкин "Data transfering faster, stronger, better and not harder"Fwdays
Almost all mobile apps should communicate with server or even with each other, some of them should store something and definitely all of them should work as fast as they can. One of the bottlenecks in performance of these apps is operations with data. Actually almost all apps are all about the data, they send it, store it, process it, receive it and somehow show it to the user. So to make your app really fast you definitely need to find a way how to make data processing really fast.

This document discusses two approaches to modeling the elastic properties of tie molecules in semicrystalline polymers: (1) calculating the force-length relationship of individual tie molecule conformations using molecular mechanics, and (2) statistically averaging the force-length relationship over all possible tie molecule conformations using Monte Carlo simulations. The molecular mechanics calculations show sawtooth force-length profiles due to conformational transitions in molecules with defects, while the statistical approach gives a smooth force-length increase. Both approaches provide complementary descriptions of the energy elastic response of tie molecules in the disordered interlamellar phase of semicrystalline polymers.

Web 2.0 allows for greater interaction and collaboration online through tools like social media, blogs, videos and wikis. Cyberlearning enhances traditional learning by providing more resources and tools for teachers and students to expand and share ideas quickly and efficiently through various digital media. Paint, Sparkle, Draw is an app that allows children to draw, color and add special effects to pictures to foster creativity. Wordpress could be used for a classroom blog where students graph and share weather data and see weather from other parts of the world. Interactive ebooks allow students to listen to, watch and participate in stories on mobile devices. However, incorporating more technology presents challenges such as cost and gaining acceptance from parents and teachers.

This document presents the research proposal of Chiara Urbani for her PhD in Science of Cognition and Education at the University Ca' Foscari in Venice. The proposal examines professional development for pre-primary teachers in Italy within the framework of the "capability approach." Urbani aims to identify factors that influence teachers' capability development and to define a new model of professional training. Through mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, the study will assess teachers' skills and identify resources and frameworks that promote capabilities. The expected results are to define conversion factors, a professional development model, and new policies to support teachers' agency and freedom to achieve their full potential.
Yves Punie gave a keynote address at the EADTU 2014 conference about open education trends to 2030. He discussed how open education has evolved from open universities and distance learning to incorporate open educational resources, MOOCs, and new approaches to teaching and learning. Punie summarized research from the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies on drivers of open education, including the rise of online and blended learning. Their foresight work involved developing visions of open education in 2030 around tensions between guided vs self-guided learning. Further research will examine open education from the supply and demand side through surveys, case studies, and analyzing impacts on labor markets and learning outcomes.

This PowerPoint was presented at the AVA expert seminar to explain the context of the AVA analysis and list the European Commission's main priorities both on adult education and on validation.
This document summarizes the key findings and policy relevance of the 2014 Education and Training Monitor report. It finds that while 19 EU member states cut education spending in 2012, underinvestment risks undermining Europe's economic growth potential. It also notes that education systems need to better develop students' employability and address inequalities to fully realize their potential. Additionally, reducing early school leaving remains important to help more individuals complete qualifications and protect against poverty. The Monitor provides evidence to inform the European Semester process and help progress education targets.
1. The document discusses innovations and trends in higher education in Europe, including increased blended learning combining online and in-person education, growth in continuing education and open education through MOOCs and OERs, and more diversified educational pathways to accommodate various student needs.
2. It proposes increased collaboration between European universities on short learning programs, including recognition of credits between institutions and development of joint programs, to provide flexible options for lifelong learning.
3. A network of experts across European universities aims to accelerate adoption of new teaching and learning methods through staff training, pilot programs, and institutional innovation planning.
This document discusses open education and proposes a 5COE model to characterize different approaches. It describes open education as having 5 components: open educational resources (OER), open learning services (OLS), open teaching efforts (OTE), openness to learners' needs (OLN), and openness to employability and capabilities development (OEC). The document proposes using this 5COE model to map different educational approaches and provide "fingerprints" to characterize institutions. It also discusses the OpenupEd initiative, a new pan-European MOOCs partnership launched with support from the European Commission to promote open education across Europe according to values of equity, quality, and diversity.
This document summarizes the key European Union policies and initiatives related to adult learning and lifelong learning. It outlines the policy drivers behind increasing investment in adult education, including an aging population and skills gaps. Major EU policy frameworks like the Lifelong Learning Programme and Education and Training 2020 are described. The document also provides an overview of the Grundtvig programme for adult learning, its objectives, actions, impacts and future directions.
1) The document discusses challenges in European education systems, including high youth unemployment and decreasing education budgets.
2) It proposes focusing on improving teacher quality and developing skills relevant to the labor market and society. Member states should improve teacher recruitment and training, while the EU can help through funding and policy coordination.
3) The Rethinking Education package and Erasmus for All program aim to invest in skills, flexible learning opportunities, and collaboration between education institutions and businesses. The goal is support economic growth through excellence in vocational education and training.
The document summarizes the work of the European Agency for Development in Special Needs Education, which works to promote inclusive education across European countries. The Agency collects and shares information on inclusive education practices, brings together stakeholders through conferences and seminars, and ensures countries' education policies are aligned with international agreements on inclusion. While inclusion has progressed in recent decades, challenges remain around academic outcomes, teacher training, funding models, and ensuring all learners have access to inclusive, quality education.
Promoting public policies and multinational organizations for distance educat...icdeslides
Theme
The theme chosen for the Conference is “Mobilizing Distance Education for Social Justice and Innovation”, that is to say, contributing to mobilize Distance Education in its many modalities and forms, to build and transfer knowledge aimed at achieving valuable goals for societies that defend innovation and social justice.
The conference thus addresses one of the current priorities of international bodies such as the UNESCO’s “Education for All”, the OEI’s “Educational Goals XXI” and the European Union’s “Horizon Program 2020”, all of them geared to innovating to achieve intelligent, safe and inclusive societies.
The document discusses trends that will shape the future quality agenda for education, including a focus on lifelong learning, skills development, personalization, inclusion, partnerships, and using data and technology. It emphasizes that lifelong learning will be important for addressing challenges like economic and social changes, health crises, and advancing sustainable development. Lifelong learning can promote well-being, equity, and help develop citizens who can adapt to new demands. The quality agenda may place more emphasis on outcomes like learner well-being, impact, and contributions to individual and societal growth.
This document provides a training concept for promoting social and personal skills in socially disadvantaged young adults. It discusses key topics like lifelong learning, basic skills, educational approaches, and the target group. The training concept aims to support adults in developing personal and social skills as a prerequisite for lifelong learning. It offers a theoretical background, modules and content for the training, and shares insights from pilot training schemes in different countries. The overall goal is to help more people access and benefit from opportunities in adult education and lifelong learning.
This document summarizes a meeting on rethinking education in Europe. It outlines challenges facing European education systems such as high early school leaving rates, varying skills levels, an aging teaching profession, and financial constraints. It proposes initiatives to address these issues like improving qualifications, increasing tertiary attainment, boosting basic and language skills, developing vocational education, and supporting teachers. A new Erasmus for All program is introduced to streamline existing programs into a single framework focusing on learning mobility, cooperation projects, and policy support.
This document summarizes trends in European school education systems. It discusses how education systems have evolved from focusing on social harmony to promoting social cohesion. While European countries have largely achieved universal primary education, they are now focusing on improving quality and equity. There is also a trend toward acquiring generic skills like problem solving, communication, and teamwork to prepare students for a changing job market. Common features across European education systems include investing significantly in education, providing free compulsory primary education, and requiring tertiary education for teachers.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
