| The
principal aim of Euro.GEO
is to promote the European Dimension through
geographical education. It is concerned
with improving the electronic resource base
for teaching in and about the countries
of Europe. In this way it contributes towards
the development of MINERVA goals while targeting
the European Dimension. By doing so, it
seeks to encourage a greater European awareness
through the medium of Geography and to increase
mutual knowledge and understanding of the
countries of Europe and their geography
curricula. |
 |
| The
Euro.GEO project
responds to the objective of promoting ODL
in many different ways: |
| |
-
it will encourage considerable co-operation
across Europe between organisations and
institutions working in the field of ODL
and the training and support of geography
teachers. In Euro.GEO partners will work
with the European Network of Geography
Teachers' Associations, with teachers
and with schools.
-
Euro.GEO
will introduce relevant, high quality,
distance learning materials in support
of the European Dimension in the teaching
of Geography in schools, thus strengthening
the European Dimension therein.
-
the project seeks to develop a valuable
information source for European Geography
teachers using suitable Web (and also
CD ROM) technologies.
-
Euro.GEO
will also provide, for teachers, information
about geography curricula across Europe.
This will support the wider aim of European
mobility in the teaching profession.
