Mixed Talent proposes themes, topics, and activities through eLearning, because the internet is easily accessible for those who depend on their home environment for collaborative learning. The central theme of this celebration is: Durable WebEducation & eLearning for Students with Physical Challenges & Medical Needs.

“Durable eLearning” is an eLearning experience on the basis of web-based programs, providing eLearning experiences from which students may also draw on later in their lives. Activities on the website: candle-art, courage-art, freedom by inventions. Aim of the project is to develop a MixTalent-path of thinking+feeling+doing = being active. Keeping the wondering and learning, the development of our personalities going. That can be difficult when you are in hospital, recovering at home, or in the transitions of taking part of a fully functioning daily life again. The core of our eLearning program is: with minimum physical energy and maximum social activity achieve intellectual and emotional mobility. To visit the website, go to:
http://www.macadam.nl/mxJubel_eBk/mxJubel1W_eBk.htm

With the students Greet will be celebrating the anniversary by presenting the eBook “A landscape of Tolerance and Diversity.” Greet says: "For me tolerance has been always very important. Living from childhood with physical limits; giving and getting room to others and myself made it possible to develop and grow. Wondering “why, how – to try” , is for me, the root of Tolerance and Diversity. That’s why I have chosen this theme to celebrate our 10th anniversary.

Everybody is working on the same topics, according to age/possibilities/interest". In november 2008 we will present our Landscape as a free eBook to the world again - as we did in 2007 with the MixTalent-Troubadours eBook. Mayor Amy Koopmanschap of the Dutch city of Diemen will help me to organize a special event around this presentation. And all participants will receive a Celebration-certificate on the International day of Children’s Rights on 19 November 2008. Local Dutch tv will be covering the conference.

Young people from the euro area and Slovakia are invited to join in the euro's 10-year celebrations by designing a poster on the theme "10 years of the European Union's Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the euro" and uploading it to the online gallery at www.eurocompetition.net.

The posters should express the participants’ thoughts on what the euro has done for European citizens, what the benefits of the monetary union are and what they think the future holds for the single currency.
Visitors to the Eurocompetition website can also receive the Euro Kid’s Corner poster, a promotional poster available in the 12 languages of the euro area and Slovakia.

The Eurocompetition website provides materials for teachers to connect their history, geography or even language lessons with the euro, EMU and the economics underlying it.

The competition will stimulate debate about the euro within the classroom, and with parents and peers. The debates should raise awareness of the changes the euro has triggered in our daily life, and also encourage thinking about the benefits of a single currency.

The competition is open until 31 December 2008.
The Eurocompetition team wishes you good luck and look forward to seeing your creative ideas on the euro!

The team of the OERTN project (from the family of the European Schoolnet projects) is looking for a teacher of history to carry out some small tasks (see the attached documents). The teachers that are interested to apply are invited to send their CV to Jim Ayre, the project manager, at the following email address:
