From 26 to 28 of May 2011, CESIE was involved in a meeting that took place at Norrkooping, Sweden, about creation of a EXcellence ACadedemy for Trainers. The EXACT Project, developed by associations, schools and organisations involved in the education field, from 10 different countries (Italy, Holland, Spain, France, England, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Germany and Sweden) within the European Commission “Lifelong Learning Programme” (LLP), is realizing a real academy where trainers will share experiences and knowledge. The final aim of this platform (that will have both an on-line version – a website – and a paper one – an handbook) is to guide trainers to educate disadvantaged young people and prevent school drop-outs.
In Sweden, the group of participants discussed about both methods to integrate youngsters into labor -market and to define the last details of the service that EXACT will provide for users. CESIE, in this occasion, has pointed out the content of this platform in terms of education to active citizenship and in terms of development of intercultural, civic and social competences among young people. The official presentation of the Academy is scheduled for the 28th of October 2011, in Holland.
