Implementation of good practice

The Library of Evgenides Foundation is a private library that is mostly related with scientific subjects but also it has very good relations with the schools of the area.

The best practice implemented with the Library of Evgenides Foundation was organized in two phases. In the beginning, the library has organized a training workshop with its staff. 10 members of staff have participated in this training workshop. During this training workshop, members of staff of Action Synergy have presented different LLP projects related with the use of ICT in Education. The projects that were presented were the following:

• SUN.COM (Language Learning through an Online Community)
• CREDNET (self-evaluation of managerial competencies)
• METIKOS (Cyber Café for language learning from immigrants)
• Roma T&T (E-learning for pre-school teachers teaching Roma)
• DRYMOS (E-Learning for Forest Workers)

The presentation included a demonstration of the ICT based resources and material of the different projects and a discussion on their value and on the benefits that the target groups could get from them. The way of promotion was also included in the organisation of the workshop.

The second phase of the implementation of the best practice came when some of the staff members that have participated in this workshop have organised a workshop with the participation of teachers from the schools that the library is cooperating in relation with the Roma T&T project. 5 pre-school teachers have participated in this workshop. During this workshop, there was in situ presentation of the training material and a demonstration of the resources. The teachers that have participated in this workshop have registered to follow the e-learning course of the project http://www.actione-learn.eu/roma
