Welcome

Welcome to the blog of the P2V project, created January 2007.

In May, EUN submitted a project proposal ‘Peer to Peer networking for Valorisation’ (P2V) for the new eLearning programme of DG Education and Culture in the area of ‘transversal actions’. P2V brings together eight partners with European Schoolnet as coordinator to apply the methodologies developed within the P2P project to key areas of ICT in schools: Digital resources, Media literacy and Learning platforms.

Building on the results and achievements of the P2P project (2004-2006), P2V aims to critically review, refine and disseminate the methodologies and results achieved with P2P. It will build on two ‘networks of networks’ – European Schoolnet (EUN) and the Standing International Conference of Inspectorates (SICI) and will use three larger networks of schools, ministries of education and inspectorates. P2V results will be integrated into an overall policy and practice framework and roadmap for ICT change in schools.

The project duration is 24 months and expected results are a set of revised methodologies for peer learning between education professionals in policy, practice and inspection. Several reports, analysis and an evaluation framework used by inspectorates and schools for national and international evaluation will also be produced.

As in the P2P projects several peer learning visits in schools, ministries and inspectorate will help identify policy and practices in other educational contexts. Following the visits, the following papers and reports will be produced: case studies clustered by topic, analytical papers, peer learning visit reports and reports on valorisation activity outcomes.

A dissemination portal and community tools and services will also be set up.

P2V project partners:
• European Schoolnet (EUN) coordinator
• Inspectie van het Onderwijs (Netherlands)
• Regional Training Unit (United Kingdom)
• Centre International d’Etudes Pédagogiques (France)
• Centre of Information Technologies of Education (Lithuania)
• Departament d’Educació de Catalunya (Spain)
• UNI.C (Denmark)
• ENIS Austria (Austria)

Two non-funded partners will strengthen work in policy and school innovation: Freibourg University Switzerland and The Department for Educational Development in the Norwegian education ministry.
