PONTES / Local Cooperation
About the Project (period of implementation 08/2007-09/2008)
For the past years about 200 stakeholders from all educational fields, from politics, economy and administration have been participating in a broadly based discussion process in order to work out recommendations for action for educational development in the new administrative district Görlitz about the key issues “Equal Opportunities in Realising Lifelong Learning”, “Media Literacy as a Location Factor” as well as “Euroregional Expertise and Languages from Neighbouring Countries” together.
The framework is the project „PONTES / Local Cooperation“, which was realised in joint sponsorship of the former local authorities the administrative districts of Lower Silesia and Upper Lusatia, of Löbau-Zittau and the city of Görlitz as well as the PONTES agency of the International Meeting Centre in St. Marienthal and funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in the program “Learning Regions”.
Results of this process are summed up in the brochure „Future by means of education in the administrative district Görlitz“, published by the administrative district Görlitz as well as the city of Görlitz. (You can find the link to this brochure on the right.)
We would like to thank all those who have played a part in the participation process, the workshop meetings and in professional consultations within the project "PONTES / Local Cooperation“ with their experiences and knowledge.
