From the press release:
SVEA is a newly launched European Leonardo Da Vinci project, which focuses on promoting the use of web 2.0 in VET and adult training institutions.
SVEA’s goal is to cultivate new work processes and communication strategies through the use of web-based technology. Upgrading web 2.0 skills in VET and adult training institutions will foster innovation and change in personnel and organizational management. It will also allow for more learner-centered and self paced education methods.
SVEA will develop an online platform offering custom web 2.0 tools for trainers and teachers, combined with both an online and a face to face training program to help the target group master these web 2.0 applications. Guidelines and training material to guarantee successful implementation will also be designed.
SVEA is being undertaken by a consortium of European partners, CSP – ICT Innovation in Italy, Fundecyt in Spain, EuroPACE ivzw in Belgium and Coleg Sir Gar in Wales. The project is coordinated by the MFG Baden-Wuerttemberg mbh.
