SAFE seminar in the Czech Republic

Exhibitions and events and dissemination meetings

These are summarised on the report. In addition to those there were at least as many informal contacts that were not specifically documented. At the ouset there were core events planned but it was impossible to predict where dissemination opportunities would arise so we agreed to follow up those that had the best chance of promoting sustainability locally. 

UK - Conference of the National Association for Special Educational Needs. Numerous visits to Special Schools across the country to gain feedback and to raise awareness. One outcome is a raised awareness of the EU LLL programme with fresh interest in taking part in the Comenius programme.  22 special schools are currently taking part in the project. Personal meeting with Malcolm Harbour MEP. Personal meeting with Chris Pincher MP.

In addition contact has been made with Nas Vrind the Chairman of Workability Europe, the umbrella organisation for all sheltered workshops across Europe. These links have been combined with the DE, UK and CZ links to MEPs with a view to enable a proposal to be put forward that will galvanise sustainability.
