The Second International Congress on Technical and Vocational Education is taking place in Seoul, Republic of Korea, from 26-30 April. Its theme was Lifelong Learning and Training for the World of Work in the Twenty-first century. It is being organised by UNESCO in co-operation with the government of the Republic of Korea and will address some of the central issues relating to learning and training in the early years of the next century - issues that confront both developed and developing countries in an age of rapid social, economic and technological change.
CEDEFOP will participate in the event and CEDEFOP staff will present and demonstrate the Electronic Training Village (ETV) in an exhibition linked to the Congress. The number of visitors to the ETV from outside Europe is already very substantial, and it is expected that through participation in this event, information about the ETV will be spread to an even wider group of decision makers in the field of VET throughout the world. The Congress has been preceded by a number of regional preparatory conferences. CEDEFOP participated actively in the European regional preparatory conference, which took place in Crete in September 1998, with the theme "Vocational education and training at the dawn of the 21st century". It was organised by the Organisation for Vocational Education and Training (OEEK), which supervises and monitors the Institutes for Vocational Training (IEKs) in Greece. The issues covered were:
The results of this conference are being published in Greek, English and French and will be available from OEEK, Department of Library and Documentation, 1 Ilioupoleos Ave., 17236 Ymittos, Greece. Contact: Ms Ermioni Barkaba, Tel + Fax: (30-1) 9764484Source: OEEK/CEDEFOP/JMA/CMC) |
