Partnership
protocol through Internet
The European Commission highly
supports school partnerships (see
partnership file), because they show to include cooperation work on the field
of education.
In this report, partnerships are defined through the use of
Internet and multimedia resources and other exchange communication devices (electronic
mails, videoconferences, development of web sites, etc) that allow schools to
establish relationships and teamwork with external school participants. They contribute
to a global solution to school exchange programmes. This global framework must
meet all necessary conditions for successful partnerships, in particular by organising
international meetings, promoting frequent exchange of news, developing projects
of common interest, and letting schools to communicate with each other to improve
project results.
To reach this, eSchola 2003 puts forward the following
elements:
a) Organisation of virtual
meetings, online news, chat, videoconference, electronic mail and forum.
b)
Development of common projects and supporting materials, by, for example, limiting
the field of collaboration and by making use of e-learning programmes.
c)
Regular communication around current projects, by establishing a feasible communication
programme run by tutors from each school who are responsible for organising the
virtual meetings according to all project needs.
Establecer
un programa de comunicación con responsables en cada escuela que programen
las reuniones virtuales en función de las necesidades de los proyectos.
Candidates
for partnership need to meet one or some of the conditions above.
