Members
a)
How to expand EFTRE and also activate the current members?
- Idea
to use innovative methods of dialogue to get members in touch with
each other , a facebook page was mentioned as a place that people
already use, and therefore might also find easy to use in our context
-
Possible cooperation with the European Wergeland Centre? http://www.theewc.org/
was encourage by Prof. Jackson
-
How can we keep in touch with colleagues outside Europe?
-
Enhance the profile, awards for good practice?
-
Links to more academic organisations could benefit both as it would
be easier to get funding when contact with teachers in the classroom
