DETVET meeting in Sant' Angelo in Vado


The third meeting meeting for DETVET took place in Sant'Angelo in Vado on April 7-8, 2010.
We enjoyed an effective meeting, good weather and interesting cultural visits. Our heartfelt thanks go out to Elmo de Angelis, Kylene de Angelis and Settimio Bravi (the mayor of Sant'Angelo) for hosting the meeting in their pictoresque town and making all the arrangements that made the meeting easy and enjoyable. We are saddened to leave Italy and Sant'Angelo and hope to return soon again.
Elmo de Angelis opened the first meeting day by welcoming us to Sant'Angelo. He layed out some of the goals of the meeting. Next, we heard from the partners on the subject of the questionnaire and the results. The results in general were somewhat expected but there were also some interesting patterns. Like that the results for Sweden and Denmark were practically the same. The result for social media and coaching was similar in all partner organisations and there is a need to learn more.

In the afternoon we had the priviledge of hearing from Kylene de Angelis about the use of ICT in education. Jarno Tolonen presented his case for the use of social media in education.

On the second day, Loreta Staskuniene lead the discussion about the goals to be reached before the next meeting in Odense, Denmark. The look and content for the brochure was agreed upon.

Elmo de Angelis presented an idea about using the mobilities for the project to bring teachers along for the remaining project meetings and running workshops simultaneously to the meetings. It was widely felt that it was a good idea to involve and engage teachers in the project but there was some serious doubt wether the scope of the project and the resources of the partner organisation would allow it.

Due to illness, Cai Melakoski was not able to attend the meeting. Everybody were sure to send their best wishes and were hopeful and confident in seeing him in Odense.
