* The 11th International Teacher Conference ESP *
***************************************************
Dear educators, friends and colleagues,
>From March 21 until March 25, 1997 the 11th conference of the European
Schools Project takes place in Portoroz, Slovenija. Portoroz is situated
along the Mediterranean Coast of Slovenija, opposite Venice in Italy.
Having started back in 1988, the European Schools Project has been an
Internet-based support system for meaningful telematic interactions of
teachers and pupils. Tens of thousands pupils from well over 25 countries,
both within Europe and beyond, have been involved in teleprojects in which
more than 100 different topics were studied, supported by many hundreds of
teachers. And although we meet virtually all year round, the real-life
interactions, in which you speak, listen, eat and drink together, have
proved to be vital for the continuous development of ESP and its
cooperations within and with other school-networks. We had our conference
last year in Leuven, and before that in Cambridge, Amsterdam, Schwerte,
Toledo, Lenham, Copenhagen, etc.
This time it is in Slovenija.
So the conference is first of all a real meeting of teachers. These teachers
have experienced the magic and the quality of interacting with each other
over the Internet, in order to improve upon the learning activities of their
pupils and students, upon the teaching activities of themselves and their
colleagues, and upon the school as the organisation of these activities.
During the conference educators will have the opportunity to meet their
colleagues, to evaluate past Teleprojects, and especially to design and make
plans for new Teleprojects.
Also various materials for learning and teaching will be presented, e.g. for
intercultural teleprojects using the German (Das Bild der Anderen) or the
English language (The Image of the Other), and projects that use the
environment as a (re)source for learning (Aquadata, Terradata, etc. All
these products are the visible outcome of the work implied by teachers and
students in the classroom collaboration.
As technology is developing so fast, ample attention will be paid to the
possibilities of state-of-art Web-technology to enhance and improve upon the
interactive projects.
We would like to invite you to come to such a special place and such a
special event. Make new friends for learning!

and its teleprojects, and find all relevant information for participation in
our 11th Conference.
