in the field of consumer education.
It will work in the context of citezenship development at the level of compulsory initial training as well as graduate teacher training.
This project will deal with the following issues: how can consumer education contribute to a wider vision of the consumer as an active, responsible participant in the development of a just and safe world? in what ways does the exercise of citizenship include the practice of aware and critical choices in the marketplace? to what extent are lifestyles which neither limit the development of other human beings nor destroy the world's environment prerequisites for being a good citizen?
To address the above questions, participants will work with definiing concepts; analysing and creating curricula, developing and evaluating teaching plans and materials, and preparing classroom strategies. It also intends to create interdisciplinary teaching plans, learning materiqls and teaching methods for use in teacher training as well as strategy plans for nationwide implementation.
The results will be disseminated internationally via established networks of consumer education

Empowerment - Burn Out Prevention. Enhanced competence leading to increased professional satisfaction
04 December 2002
The partners (AT,LU, HU, ES) in this project will be looking into the link between increasing
demands and job satisfaction with a view of developing in-service training.
demands and job satisfaction with a view of developing in-service training.
Teachers are having to cope with incresing demands. These demands, ranging from multiculturalism to technology, are weighing heavily on teachers' job satisfaction. Training will provide the knowledge and skills in this regard.
The ultimate aim of this project is to help teachers to cope better with the stress of an ever changing world.
The training course will consist of four modules (Professional identity, Co-operation and communication, Organisation of adaptive learning methods, Theory and praxis concerning displaying behavioural problems).
Shared key points will be team work, regional and international co-operation, use of NIT, career counselling and in-service, as well as system analysis. The modules will be piloted in the participating countries through in-SET courses and then evaluated.
The finalised concept will be published on the internet in DE, HU, ES, and EN. The project may also be included in the Comenius Catalogue.

Developing Sustaining and Evaluating Sustainable Practices in European Primary Schools
04 December 2002
The project aims at enhancing education for sustainable development and environmental education in primary schools.
SEEPS is designed to support whole school approaches through a school focused model of teacher initial and in-service education.
The project will revise an existing training unit on change and develop two new units for an existing Comenius course on sustainable development:
1. Practical environmental management
2. Self-evaluation
Target groups are lecturers training teacher trainers, teachers acting as school based trainers, student teachers and - as ultimate beneficiaries primary schools, their pupils and their immediate communities.
The main activities are to identify schools' needs, to pilot, translate and evaluate new materials and to design European and national courses to disseminate these materials.
The main outputs will be print, disk and CD-ROM versions of the two new units and enhancing an existing web site on the topic.

Teaching and Learning in Second Language
04 December 2002
TL2L is based on the felt need for further internalisation and intercultural awareness in education.
''Teaching and Learning in a Second Language'' (TL2L) is based on the felt need for further internalisation and intercultural awareness in education. This project addresses the negative impact of limited student mobility, national curricula and monolingualism by providing a structured approach to the inclusion of these elements in teacher training, where mobility and relevant activities for students that stay at home are integrated.
Joint curriculum development and delivery in a second language (English) will enable the partner institutions to promote mobility of students and staff and to confront all students with international and intercultural elements in their curriculum.
Simultaneously, the partners propose to develop atraining programme for (prospective) teachers at plurilingual schools, which willlead to internationally recognised accreditation. As part of this programme, students will be able to do a placement abroad.
Target groups include: students that stay at home; those who choose to study at an institution abroad; and those who intend to teach in plurilingual schools. Plurilingual schools will benefit as students will contribute materials, work there as trainees and may find a position at these schools after graduation.
Outputs will include: jointly developed curriculum elements; an (in-service training programme for plurilingual teachers (content and language integrated learning, CLIL); CLIL placement abroad; materials and procedures; internationally recognised CLIL competencies; and a CLIL Terminology database for tutors and students in plurilingual education.

The main objective of IDEAS is to create a new formative model in the area of psycho-pedagogy for the personnel of the education centres.
IDEAS (Intercultural Development of Education and Skills) is a project between seven institutions which operate in the context of formal and informal education of five countries: Spain, Italy, Portugal, England and Poland. It will help them engage more effectively in conflict resolution.
With this objective in sight, the project will generate pedagogical resources which will help the students understand better the importance of social tolerance.
The groups who will benefit from this project include: 500-1000 children and youths who are going through some kind of educational experience in Portugal, Poland, England, Spain and Italy; 200-300 people who work in these educational centres (teachers and other professionals)

The Roots and Wings International Project for School Leadership
04 December 2002
The project delivers a framework between individual headteachers in order to raise their effectiveness and their impact within schools
In three partner regions 10 secondary school head teachers will be identified and partnered to one head in each of the other two regions.
Over a 3 year period each head will visit the countries of his/her partners to undertake leadership development activities and a school effectiveness project. Approximately 7 days per year will be spent in one of the partner countries in training and visiting the partner establishment in order to take a school effectiveness inquiry.
At the start of each yearly cycle heads will meet as a group for focussed development activities led by coaches. They will then go to the partner schools to undertake the effectiveness project within the context of the individual school. In the intervening period between each visit, the heads will communicate with each other electronically.
At the end of the 3 year period the gains will be evaluated and the project reviewed as a model to develop European leadership. Individual reports, an overall evaluation report and an international conference will evaluate and disseminate the results.

Early Literacy Assessment Project.
04 December 2002
It sets out to produce an early literacy assessment tool to monitor children's progress and identify those at risk of literacy failure in the early stages of schooling.
Training courses will be developed to enhance teachers' awareness of children's literacy acquisition and to apply their understanding to improve their teaching.
The target groups are teachers of young children, especially children at risk of social exclusion, such as travellers, children from ethnic or linguistic minorities or from socially disadvantaged backgrounds.
The activities will centre around the production of a well-researched instrument in four languages (Irish, Spanish, Danish, Slovak). It will be tested with groups of children to refine its sensitivity to profiling early progress and identify those with literacy difficulties at early stages. Teachers will be trained to use it and courses and materials will be developed to disseminate its approach.
The expected outputs will be a test of literacy achievement appropriate for each of the participating countries and training course materials to train teachers in using and interpreting it.
