About Bridge

The first phase of the project consists of preparing three different products to be presented at the International Conference on Education, 2001: a mini-website, video clips and a photo exposition (see slide 3 )

A preliminary research of 'good practices' in education related to the 6 themes of the workshops of the ICE (citizenship, social cohesion, values and cultural diversity, languages, sciences and new technologies) has enabled us to choose the subjects for the presentation. Four criteria were used to finalize the choices. The projects chosen had :
1) to be closely related to contents of one or some of the 6 themes of the ICE
2) to be original/ innovative
3) to have been evaluated by an external organization (with exception)
4) to be easily replicable and transferable to another country or region.
You will find here projects undertaken by the governments of the countries concerned, as well as by non governmental institutions, international or intergovernmental organizations, and even by particular groups (parents, communities, teachers, children, etc.)

These experiences, presented with the help of three medias, will be presented at the ICE in a kiosk under the BRIDGE project name. Moreover, a video projection will introduce each workshop topic and plenary in order to provoke discussion and debate among participants at the ICE.

After the ICE (phase 2 of the BRIDGE project, see slide 5), the work of the group will be used to higher the plate-forme/observatory of the IBE. Also, it will serve as the constitution of a bank of experiences and of video material that can be used in the co production of a television program.
