Agreement of Agenda
As Genevieve Loqueville was not able to attend before 1045, we decided to do the items that she was not directly involved in before she arrives.
Matters arising
No matters arising.
Minutes from the last meeting
The minutes from the previous meeting, both board and exec were approved.
Membership, new members, revision of membership list
A
Greek needs to be sent an application form. Sonja Danner will get in touch
with an Italian organisation, ANIR
Each board member is asked to check for their country and report back,
also if there are no changes, by 30 June
Report from CoGREE
Sonja Danner gave a full report on the last meeting in CoGREE. For details, see the minutes on the CoGREE web site.
Financial report
At present € 8090 on our account.
We are asking the board members to distribute the invoices. To save banking fees, we send one invoice for both 2005 and 2006 and for 2007 and 2008 in one next year. Deadline for paying is 30 June 2006.
Newsletter
Twice
yearly is probably good. Dates for publication would need to depend on
when the Board and the Exec meets, and matters arising. It will be up
to the Board members to distribute the information on to the other members
in their country.
The Newsletter will also be published on the EFTRE web site.

| 14:30 - 16:30 | Lecture on/ with Chris Doude van Troostwijck | Hans Fijn van Draat’s suggestion: into the classroom. I think, 'images of Citizenship' is not bad. The idea is from a Dutch professional philosopher and University (VU Amsterdam) lecturer. His name is: Chris Doude van Troostwijck. He lives in the Elsass, France, where his wife is minister. Maybe he can come also to the conference for an introduction. The idea is: the European Christian culture is so rich, make youngsters, our students (I think around 16 years old) make little couples (on internet, of course) of 4-6, in two of three countries (schools in different countries) and tell in images (pictures, photo, video etc.) make short presentations of their resources from the tradition, meaningful for today and hopeful for the future, and exchange these image. So, 2-3 students of my school present the product of their friends from Spain, of Estonia, or Norway - and vice-versa. Christian culture in Europe in tradition - today - for the future. A short starting textbook in all our languages (printed or PDF) can be the result two years after Budapest. Two years of try-out in pilots. The workshops are to work out the pedagogical side, but then the second approach is to solve the practical problems. Teachers needed! |
