Winter school coming up!

A very interesting winter school on "Training teachers in competence based education" is to be held in Lithuania. The planned Winter School, organised/hosted by Metis Baltic, has been validated by the Lithuanian National Agency and it is published in the Comenius-Grundtvig Training Database with the reference number "LT-2013-029-001". The initial description of the event can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/education/trainingdatabase/index.cfm?fuseaction=DisplayCourse&cid=37314
 
The Winter School will take place next February in Vilnius, Lithuania (3rd7th of February, 2014). The event title is "Transversal key competences for lifelong learning: Training teachers in competence based education". The course generally aims to cover the topics of competence based learning and use of educational resources.
 
The aim of the course is to have a positive impact on the development of students’ transversal competences, creativity, collaboration, and effective communication skills by promoting the use of real world authentic learning activities by immersing participating teachers in the process of resource based approaches via their interaction with a unique collection of open educational resources (OER). 
 
Participation in this event is funded by the European Commission through the Comenius and Grundtvig programmes: therefore interested teachers or trainers can simply contact their relevant National Agency. The list of eligible countries (EU ones plus Turkey, Croatia, FYROM) and the contact details of the National Agencies can be found here: 
 
The deadline for applications is September 17th, 2013.
