participation to EduCode
Dear all,
As I wrote earlier before Fosdem, EduCode will be an international
conference, supported by Belgian authorities as well as by Unesco about
digital competencies and education. The public if the education
community at large : the students, the teachers, the parents, the
administrations, the politician decision makers.
The idea is that EduCode be somehow a RMLL (or Rencontres mondiales du
logiciel libre) dedicated to Education. It will be in the very center of
Brussels.
It will be dedicated to free software and open content *ONLY*.
The goald if to inform (Monday 27 August in the nicest and large,
classical concert room Henri Leboeuf of Bozar), then train (Tuesday 28
August, during about 60 workshops for 500 teachers) and then reflect on
the challenges of digital competencies (Wednesday 29 at the Royal
académy)
See http://educode.be (soon the website should be in English if we have
enough help after the translations to Flemish and Spanish; the website
uses lektor see http://getlektor.com and is developped openly in
https://github.com/EduCodeBe/educode.be)
On Monday 27, there will be a large exhibition where any group (motsly
NGO) who proposes activities
related to digital activities in schools is invited . KDEEDU will
participate. I hereby invite DebianEdu to be represented (the cost is 0
to hold a booth for those who are non commercial)
On Tuesday 28, you are welcome to propose trainings/workshops.
With the help of Oxfam we want to propose "classroom setups" containing
a server equipped with DebianEdu and light of heavy diskless clients, 30
clients + community support and commercial support by the companies who
would provide such support.
In the hope to meet many of you,
Regards,
Nicolas
