Current European research shows that a flexible approach to learning is favoured by a growing number of students who need to fit working life within the framework of learning new skills; in addition, older members of the workforce wish to engage in life long learning. For many people full-time attendance at a local training organisation is problematic due to disability, geographical location or working patterns. The aim of the project is to develop Educational Podcasting (audio/media broadcasting over the internet) to enable these learners to gain knowledge through part-time attendance whilst maintaining the personal support of a tutor.

The six partners, from Greece, Italy, Latvia, Romania, Poland and the UK have met regularly over the life of the project to develop the product, evaluate activities, plan tasks and resolve issues. In the second year of the project, trainees have also been involved in these meetings to ensure the successful piloting of the project. Effective communication between meetings has be ensured via e-mail, video conferencing, on-line meetings and a project blog.

The majority of the podcasts that are presented in this blog, have been developed by the students of the project which have enhanced their technological together with their cultural skills.

Latvian video for Romania

Hello from Latvia. We apologize for our delay, because we had a lot of work in our educational institution. It is not very cold, despite the fact that a lot of snow fell. And as always, the snow is not removed. Walk through the forest is very difficult, especially in the morning, when there is trail in the snow. But Christmas and New Year i coming and it is full of positive emotions. All the festive mood and all the streets are decorated. We also have Christmas tree in city center, in my opinion is better and more environmentally friendly would be to use artificial tree.

In our institution began the winter holidays, which will continue until January 3rd, joy! I hope that the weather will be great for that period of time. I would like to ride in our skis. But it is our benefit that there is lot of snow because i would like to ride skis.

Work on material for Poland is already underway and before the end of the year will try to finish everything. After all, the work should be done as soon as possible, then to relax and not worry.


P.S. Here is our video we did for Romania. Work on it we all really enjoyed it. For us it was the first experience of the film. Of course, not everything turned out as hoped, but the result satisfied us.



P.S.S. To make this video we used 1000+ photos.
