The "Social and Human Capital in the Knowledge Society" Conference is Available On-line
30 Noviembre 2002
Over 50% of all workers in the EU now use a computer for their job and there are fewer and fewer jobs where at least basic digital skills are not required. From that point of view, digital skills are almost as essential as basic literacy to be employed today.
These were some of the issues explored at the Social and Human Capital in the Knowledge Society Conference, held in Brussels in 28 and 29 October 2002. The presentations and proceedings of the Conference are now available on-line. Among other topics, the Conference focused on how companies providing employment increasingly need to devote an important part of their resources to ensure that employees are able to work with recent technological or organisational developments. This investment is today just as necessary as physical equipment. The increased rate of structural change and the greater tendency to change employment several times during the working life adds complications. Companies may be reluctant to invest in human capital if the human capital in question leaves for another job shortly afterwards. Just as formal education is seen as a social benefit, which in most countries the state sees as its role to provide, training for employment might also need to be seen as a public good.

Entwicklung mehrsprachiger Module für den Fachunterricht - ein Baustein für die europäische Lehrerbildung
30 Noviembre 2002
It aims to develop a model and materials for the teaching of 'content' subjects in learners' foreign languages.
The project (MEMO) involves teacher training institutions in DE, FR, IT, AT (x2) and the Goethe-Institut, London.
The target groups are the teachers themselves, and pupils at primary and lower secondary levels.
The 'content' subjects to be targeted by the project include: history, geography, social sciences, biology, mathematics, music, art and sport.
Non-subject-specific modules will also be developed for use across the curriculum. Four meetings per annum, each lasting several days, are envisaged in order to coordinate tasks and address key didactic issues. The importance of the work of subteams on their home ground is stressed. Development and evaluation will be conducted through seminars, workshops, trial lessons, sitting in on classes.
Evaluation will be on-going, involving discussions, interviews, video-recordings and teaching units. There will be close cooperation and regular exchanges of materials amongst the partners. Communication will also be via internet, phone and video-conferencing. Materials are to be produced in print form (hand-outs), on video and for the internet.

Optimierung der Eingangsstufe Ein Beitrag zur Umsetzung der Kinderkonvention in der Schule (Optimisation of access to school)
30 Noviembre 2002
A contribution to the enactment of the "Convention on the Rights of the Child at school'' is a project involving DE, FR, UK and NL.
The participating institutions plan to check their national concepts and modules in order to use them in a common - international - conception of a school, based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
At the end of the project this concept will be presented in the form of an international in-service training course for teachers.
The project plans to hold conceptual work meetings with the different partner institutions, to elaborate this concept, to find ways to evaluate it and to develop in service training programmes for teachers.
They will have several meetings on anational and international level to learn about other experiences and to become critical about their own system. Each year an international working group will focus on a specific subject.
The knowledge, abilities and insights acquired in international meetings will be reported back to national work groups, which will discuss and disseminate these results and report at the next international meeting. Modules and concepts developed on a national level will be reviewed by the international project group and selected for implementation in all project schools.
This will allow an evaluation of the applicability and use on a transnational level while considering the Rights of the Child Convention.
These resultswill again be made available on a European level. Through this procedure the project hopes to contribute to a harmonisation of national education systems in Europe with respect to the specificities within the countries

Ostbrandenburg / Chancen der Grenzregion-Perspektiven für KMU
29 Noviembre 2002
It aims at developing new marketing strategies for the regions and companies and of networks using the internet will result in additional possibilities and resources.
The strategic objectives of the development partnership are the consolidation and strengthening of companies and the increase of the attractiveness of the region. Through an improvement of the competitiveness of the companies additional employment potential will be developed and new innovative business start-ups will be supported.
The derivation of qualification needs and competence profiles from the development strategies of the companies enables the development and adaptation of future-oriented qualification offers and the integration of new learning methods and forms.
All individual projects are aimed at the operational processes and the identification of additional potentials through new markets, innovation and management changes as well as the effective application of new IT.
The resulting effects are exploitted by the suitable qualification of unemployed people within the region in order to create additional employment and business start-up opportunities. Through the further development of the job rotation system into a TANDEM system possibilities and strategies are worked out in order to integrate unemployed people and particularly women into the primary labour market and to create long-term employment relationships. The know-how and the experience from the project “Flexi-Plus – Labour Time Flexibilisation” are taken into account in all company-specific organisation and development processes such as new marketing forms, new operating areas and other things.
The preparation of potential and SWOT analyses form the basis for the evolution of development strategies and concepts. From these regional strategies the regional models are developed. Under the motto “Border Zone East Brandenburg” the required steps for the preparation of the small and medium-sized businesses, administrative departments and the people of the region with regard to the planned EEC expansion and the planned integration of Poland will be implemented. The exchange of experience with other European regions which have also been affected by EEC expansion processes supports these processes of change.
The integrative approach of the development partnership ensures the compatibility of the objectives and approaches of the individual projects. The complex aspects of operational processes, required processes of innovation and change as well as the implementation of various qualification offers constitute the interfaces between the individual projects. The approach is always orientated towards the focus of the individual projects aiming at the growth potential.
Through the structure of diversely designed competence networks the connection between the competencies and potentials of the individual partners to the development partnership is ensured. The supplementation of the functions and competencies of the partners ensures the complementarity of the players and the openness for new partners.
The development and improvement of an innovative information and communications structure using modern IT leads to internal (within the development partnership) and regional information and knowledge management. The exchange of experiences in the individual project stages, transnational cooperation, periodical SWOT analyses and potential profiles promote the progress in achieving the development objectives and strategies. This process of coordination is ensured by the intensive joint effect of labour market and economy promotion within the scope of the strategic development partnership. Additional effects of the above joint activity are the early identification of discrimination and exclusion and intervention in all areas.
Through the regional offices for women and labour market particularly the gender-specific aspects of the individual projects are taken into account and additional offers with regard to advice and assistance are provided. Especially the integration of women into the primary labour market, the identification of innovative qualifications in demand for this target group, the improvement of the chances of getting a job and the reduction of inequality are aspects all projects are focussed on.
The development of offers concerning social and intercultural competencies and their implementation in the course of the single projects supports tolerant and friendly behaviour towards strangers and foreigners.
The development of consulting competencies among the participants in the development partnership serves for the implementation of business-oriented demand assessment, assistance with human resources and organisational development within the small and medium-sized businesses as well as the direction of the learning processes in the companies.
Raising the awareness of the people in the region of a new learning culture, namely self-organised and self-monitored learning, requires the activity of all participants in the educational process and the application of innovative teaching and learning methods as well as IT. The electronic learning platform ihk-lernstudio.de supports self-monitored and organised learning. Joint learning in communities enhanced by communication forums and the assistance provided by tutors ensures effective learning processes and positive experiences with transnational partners.
The development and the application of high-quality content increases the attractiveness of this form of offer. This learning platform is used in all individual projects of the development partnership.
The change in regional learning culture will only be successful as long as integrative activities are supported by all project partners. Representatives of the corporate economic partners participate in the development partnership (DP).
The integration of regional science institutions such as Europa-Universität Viadrina, the technical college of Eberswalde and the technical college of Wildau secures the know-how transfer within the competence networks and between the companies in the region.
Interconnection of the activities of the border zone initiatives, the Euro-regions in order to create synergies and transfer of experience.
Public relations work via the media and information platforms of the development partnership and the partners and presentation of the current activities, milestones and success of the DP.
Intensive communication in the form of regular conferences, regional meetings and project workshops of the players. Professional project and network management ensures the functionality of the DP and the accommodation of conflicting interests among all partners as well as the joint benefit for all partners.
Processes of change within the region and the companies as well as learning methods depend on a development process with regard to the educational institutions within the DP which need to become providers of educational services. The structuring of these consulting competencies for PE/OE will be implemented in the course of projects.
The regional and business-related networks and cooperations require the competencies of each partner for the coordination of these forms of cooperation. According to the innovative concept “Coordinator of Business Networks (IHK)” the responsible representatives of the partners to the development partnership will be qualified in Action 1 and Action 2. Also the strategic partners will have to fulfil tasks such as the promotion of the economy for a regional development strategy. The personnel employed in administrative departments and institutions will be trained in this respect.
The entire project work aims at the concrete achievement of the objectives. The following work forms are included:
Information analysis within the companies and business practices
Evaluation of existing statistical surveys, evaluations etc.
Brainstorming and workshops for solution development
Regional conferences and innovation forums for the presentation of predominant results regarding educational policy and labour market policy
Coaching and immediate consulting for companies, employees and organisations
Project work for the development of new educational concepts
Implementation and evaluation of courses and electronically assisted educational measures
The achievement of the objectives will be measured using defined milestones.
