FEC
We have carried through another community college course with success. The dream team of the Final Editorial Conference (FEC) consisted of 21 participants from states all over Europe. Ieva Astahovska was the editor-in-chief of the issue (Riga) and Vladimir Rajovic (Belgrade/Mitrovica) was technical editor. Hard working Ieva and Vladimir, together with the rest of us, proved once again the unique idea of assembling round a topio of common interest of all Europeans in a non-formal, a non-governmental and a boarding school context. The topic of the 26th issue was and is (of course): Schools for Europe There is reason to thank Ieva Astahovska and the Klubs Maja in Riga especially for cooperating on the project. Also the cooperation with the Passauer office of "The House" has been without troubles. As you know, we were lodged at Ryslinge Hoejskole at Fuenen, DK. There were also a socalled worldclass present at the school, consisting of 18 students from all over the world. We had more programme points in common with the worldclass just as we interviewed them for the magazine asking them about their opinion on the European integration. This was very interesting, because the interpretation of this process had some new angles when seen from Africa or Asia for example. There were about 60 Danish students present at the school as well. The stay at Ryslinge was very pleasant, and we could very well continue working together with the Ryslinge Hoejskole. The layout part of the magazine is not quite finshed though, and especially Ieva will be working on it in the near future and probably together with the NIMS printing house in Riga, Latvia. The speed of the process depends on a positive answer from the Danish Lottery Funds. They are expected to -and we have an oral confirmation- support the printing of the magazine. I expect an answer soon, and I hope we can print the magazine in january. The magazine with the theme "Schools for Europe" will have a section dealing with non-formal education, one with formal education, one culture section, one called "voices of Europe" and an interview as the first with the president of AWE (Association for World Education) Ove Korsgård.
The joint ACC and Peoplesite chat was carried out on Nov. 23rd.
Peoplesite-editor, Jesper Nielsen wrote: "The chat had a record number of participants, over 20 people took part: Both Former Minority Course participants and Association for Community Colleges members. The subject of the Final Editorial Conference held at the moment in Denmark editing the magazine "Das Haus La Maison The House" was touched upon, but with so many participants it was difficult to stay on that subject. An edited version of the chat-text is available on Peoplesite [www.people.hojoster.dk] on the "Various texts and comments section".
6-7 new members of the ACC were recruited at the FEC!
