Implementation of good practice

The Municipal Library of Kozani, which is a city in the north of Greece in the region of Western Macedonia, has organized a seminar for the registered members of the library on the learning of foreign languages online. The seminar was based on the online language learning community developed in the framework of the LLP project SUN.COM (http://www.sun-languagecommunity.eu).

The seminar was organised in the 25th of April in the premises of the library with the participation of 15 people. These people (10 women and 5 men) were mainly working as employees, however, there were included also students and 1 retired teacher. It was organised by the library in cooperation with Action Synergy (as the coordinator of the project). A member of staff from Action Synergy has travelled until Kozani in order to organise the seminar and demonstrate the platform to the participants. The contents of the seminar were the following:

  • Presentation of the platform and its functionalities
  • Registration of the participants in the platform
  • On-hands training on the platform with the supervision of the organiser of the seminar

The participants in the seminar have continued their online language courses through the platform. The library has served as a first contact point in order to promote the results of the project and train its members in the platform. After the seminar, the participants have continued on an individual basis.

The library of Kozani has also placed two permanent links, one with LLP projects and one with the website of the DI-XL project.

Impact
