With an earlier posting I have summarised some main conclusions arising from the Velenje workshop. Then I had to put into discussion the proposal of the WLP project for the ECER conference. This may have overemphasised the coordination team's vew on the project and the research-related prospects. With this posting I try to put the work of the partners into the centre and explore the prospects for piloting.
For the WLP Workhop in Velenje I had prepared a Power Point presentation that provided in a nutshell form an interim synthesis of the work of the WLP project. I have reworked this presentation in order to put the work of the project partners and the next steps in the tool development and piloting into the centre. (See the revised ppt-presentation as an attached document)
The first two sections of the presentation recapitulate the main challenges for the WLP project and the main outcomes of the country studies. Thus, the presentation provides a European group picture of different starting points and strategic working isues to be linked to the common theme "Workplace learning partnerships". These sections represent the phase of discussion that had been reached by the Velenje workshop.
The third section tries to use the group picture as a basis for bringing the debate on "workplace learning partnerships" further. In this respect the section builds upon the interim reflections on different partnership concepts tat I presented in previous posting. Now I have tried to preent some insights into possible benefits of partnership-based cooperation for different parties to be addressed in diverse countries.
The fourth section outlines the discussion on the role of WLP Web tools from the perspective of different starting points, from different contexts for piloting and with a view on different target groups to be addressed with the piloting activities.
The fifth section outlines the strategic steps to be taken in the further development of the project and provides anoverview on the strategic angles from which the partners can approach their own tasks. Furthermore, the section provides a visualisation on alternative developmental arenas and their neighbourhood relations to be considered when setting the priorities. Finally, the presentation provides a visual interpretation on the developmental phases and process dynamics in the project. It is worthwhile to note that this image draws attention on the need to distinguish between the piloting measures that can only be prepared via feasibility studies and the ones that can be actively implemented during the current WLP project.
I guess this is a sufficient commentary for the attached presentation. I am preparing a "roadmap" presentation that illustrates different options for tool development and piloting. I hope to get this presentation ready in one week's time. Looking forward to your comments in the meantime.
