Welcome Reinhold Schiffers


Reinhold Schiffers welcomes the participants in Mönchengladbach.
The meeting is held in Weiterbildungskolleg. Each participant found
a small information package in the hotel. As an introduction game
each participant receives four questions to be asked to four other
participants.

Welcome Jacques Jansen


On behalf of the project management and the applicant Jacques
Jansen welcomes everyone to the kick-off meeting of EXACT.
Jacques remembers the proximity of Belgium and The Netherlands
in respect to the location the meeting is held. It feels like a home
match.

First the relation between GR1 (Devoted) and KA4 (Exact) is


highlighted; CESO is coordinator as a separate partner in DEVOTED,
Jacques Jansen and Chris Janssen are responsible for the project
management. In Exact Jacques Jansen and Chris Janssen coordinate
on behalf of Arcus College. Arcus College is represented by four
participants and the Belgian trainee Hélène Monsieur.

The project EXACT suffered from a delay in administrative problems.


Between Arcus College and EACEA were some questions concerning
VAT and the status of Arcus College (public or private). Finally, the
problems are cleared with the consequence that the project should
be speeded up a little.

There is a strong need to keep Exact and Devoted separate; the


Commission (EACEA) already recognized the possibility of overlap in
the two project; risk of double funding, lack of efficiency. There is
therefore a collective responsibility for the partnership to keep both
projects separate.

The composition of the consortium is done with care; regarding the


geographic spreading, specific contributions to different contents of
Minutes meeting EXACT Mönchengladbach
March 18 – March 20 2010
505609-LLP-1-2009-1-NL-KA4-KA4MP
page 3 of 25
the project, expertise in supportive services and network
possibilities; EXACT has a clear strong hold. Thereby, there is a
relation with E2C-Europe, but certainly not exclusively as more
networks are available.

Language problems are recognized to be possibly slowing down the


project. This means that we cope with them just by taking time and
“trial and error”.

Presentation of EXACT
The full presentation of Jacques Jansen is enclosed in the annexes.

Two years ago Arcus College organized a preparatory meeting to


prepare the COEXIST-proposal. Unfortunately this proposal did not
make it. This time Arcus College won two projects: EXACT
(transversal programme, Key Activities 4) and DEVOTED (Grundtvig).

In Grundtvig it is possible to develop, within the consortium,


products in the area of (adult) education. DEVOTED therefore
focuses on three main themes: 1) Key, social and citizenship
competences; 2) Interculturality, gender and diversity; 3) creative
skills and ICT competencies. Accent is on development, although
dissemination and exploitation are obligatory.

In EXACT the accent is more on dissemination and exploitation. Still


there is a need to develop (finalize) products that can be
disseminated and exploited. Although, there is no chronological
order or dependency in reaching the goals and/or deliverables for
both projects. In other words, both projects can be carried out
separate from each other.

Final objective for both projects is however the same: to build a


sustainable European infrastructure for dissemination and
exploitation of good practices in the field of adult education. This
infrastructure is both physical as digital available and can possibly
act as further training centre for professionals working with the
disadvantaged.

Minutes meeting EXACT Mönchengladbach


March 18 – March 20 2010
505609-LLP-1-2009-1-NL-KA4-KA4MP
page 5 of 25
DEVOTED and EXACT can be divided as follows (analogue to the
discussion held in DEVOTED kick-off-meeting in Doncaster):

Centre of Excellence

1. DEVOTED 2. EXACT

Good Practices Train the Organizational Pool of


trainers development experts

Adult education Transversal: focus on life skills and on


(Grundtvig)(focus employability (e.g. Grundtig, Leonardo
on life skills) da Vinci

Figure 1: towards CoE, the relation and difference between DEVOTED and EXACT

Merely DEVOTED aims at collecting, selecting, testing, finalizing,


exploiting and disseminating good practices in the field of adult
education. The EXACT-project focuses upon implementing,
finalizing, exploiting and disseminating good practices in all domains
of lifelong learning (=transversality: learning for life and learning for
the world of work). Thereby, EXACT is a first step for the
organizational development of the future centre of excellence. The
centre of excellence acts, as final objective, as a kind of warehouse
were all the materials are stored and ready to used/picked by
professionals working with the disadvantaged.

Clearly, the transversal programme is built upon results of former


projects. Thereby several European sub programmes have to be
connected; e.g. Grundtvig, Leonardo, Youth in action. EXACT merely
focuses upon former projects in Grundtvig and Leonardo. Partners
in EXACT have taken part in these projects; although, it is recognized
that copyright issues might be relevant. Projects that were not
included in the EXACT-application, can still be taken aboard;
important however is to keep in mind that the products of EXACT
have to be based upon former projects. Also the balance between
products from Grundtvig and from Leonardo is important. Direct
target group of EXACT are teachers, trainers and coaches; the final
beneficiaries, the disadvantaged target group is reached via these
direct target group. The consortium contains key-partners en
dissemination partners. Explicitly this does not mean that one
category is more important than the other. Although partners are
selected and “used” according to their expertise.

Group session Project EXACT
In four diverse groups is discussed upon the following items of
EXACT: objectives, goals, envisaged outcomes, ways of cooperating,
individual roles of partners, roles of WP-leaders, collective
ownership of the project. The following questions were asked:

- Do you have a clear idea of the scope of this project?


What is still unclear?
- In how far you or your institution is interested in a
(European) Centre of Expertise? With other words:
what about your ambition being part of a consortium on
the long run?
- Do you have concrete expectations with regard to the
envisaged outcomes of EXACT?
- Do you have a clear view / idea of your role and of the
role of the WP leaders?

Group 1
1. Scope of project
Project management and quality for whole project life cycle
Development in two work packages
Dissemination and exploitation in remaining (three) work
packages
2. In how far is your institution interested in the CoE?

It should contribute to motivating teachers
(creative/innovative/qualitative).
Cooperation between partners.

Cultural event Abteiberg Museum


In the afternoon the EXACT-partners are welcomed by the vice-
major of Mönchengladbach, Klaus Schäfer, in the Abteiberg
Museum. The vice-major introduces the city and the museum. The
Abteiberg Museum is a municipal museum for contemporary art in
Mönchengladbach. More information via
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abteiberg_Museum.

Day 2 – March 19 2010
Presentation about quality assurance by Barbara Brodigan
The presentation by Barbara Brodigan is added as an annex.

Group session on quality aspects and position of CoE


The following questions are the input for the group discussions on
quality aspects and the position of the Centre of Excellence:

1. Is the CoE an organisation or a warehouse of products?


2. What competencies do the mobile teams need to
disseminate? Can you add or detract from the matrix? What
methods can be used to determine quality?
3. How can the quality of the CoE be guaranteed? Are the CoE-
indicators sufficient?
4. How can the matrixes be used? What problems/issues are
there?
5. Cycle of quality assurance? Timescales? How?, Who?
6. Which methods of measuring quality should we use?

Within four groups (G1 t/m G4) these questions are discussed and, if
possible, answered;

G1

1. CoE is a warehouse; it has to be sustainable, organization is


difficult to keep alive. Several departments in the
warehouse (job, life) related to European competence
framework.
2. Global quality check; 1) relevance for the warehouse, 2)
intrinsic value of the project (inter user evaluation and peer
report; user friendly, direct usable, attractiveness (language,
form, original), adaptability)
3. Goals warehouse; attractive in its surrounding for direct
users and interested persons ???
4. Quality of dissemination; practical grounds (costs,
translation), quality assurance (critical friend)

Figure 6: Business model CoE

In general three remarks are made concerning the quality aspects


and the future Centre of Excellence:

1. Feedback on quality documents will be provided by the


partners to Doncaster College within two weeks.
2. The follow-up of EXACT should be discussed and is a
responsibility of the whole consortium: additional financing
is possible out of several sources. Also the establishment of
a network can be taken in consideration.
3. Although the application concentrates sometimes on
teachers as target group, it is widely recognized that the
target group for the CoE is broader; All professionals
working with so called disadvantaged target groups are a
target in itself for the CoE. More specific coaches, trainers,
counsellors are regarded as target group.

The dissemination work packages

WP 5
Within WP 5 five steps are identified to reach the objectives. First
step is a reader to be made by the WP Leader
(Weiterbildungskolleg); two weeks to make the reader, than two
weeks to react. The reader goes into detail concerning the way of
approaching the professionals. Second step is to form national
expert groups by the end of April 2010, so that they can apply for
the teacher training conference in Mönchengladbach in October
2010, in relation to the second teachers meeting of the European
second chance schools (step 3). This meeting is seen as a first
dissemination spot. In any case double funding should be avoided
concerning this meeting! Fourth step is to qualify the national
expert groups in training. Last step is to deliver the blue print for the
Minutes meeting EXACT Mönchengladbach
March 18 – March 20 2010

conference model. The following shows the step up to the next
meeting within this work package:

Figure 11: Steps WP 5 up to next meeting

WP 6
Within WP 6 the more general marketing and dissemination strategy
of EXACT and the later CoE are discussed. The discussion within the
work package took place alongside the deliverables:

1. Marketing plan; the marketing plan includes a dissemination


strategy for the public and private sector in order to raise
awareness and to foster the sustainability of the EXACT/CoE.
2. Network analysis; the network analysis is prior to the other
deliverables in the work package. Three phases in the
analysis are identified; a tool for the analysis is necessary
and will be distributed by the work package leader (Die
Minutes meeting EXACT Mönchengladbach
March 18 – March 20 2010

Berater). The dissemination platform will integrate all the
project documents. Form the meeting till June all the
necessary (preliminary) conditions will ready. From June till
September the analysis itself will be done by the partners.
Afterwards the link with exploitation will be made by
connecting to policy makers.
3. Dissemination material and news letter will be of later
concern as first products need to be available to be
disseminated.
4. Public parts of meetings will be connected to focus groups in
respective countries; in that way the focus group is the first
level of dissemination.

By Die Berater a preparatory paper will be developed and discussed


within the work package.

Project management
By the project management a presentation is held regarding the
management of the project. The enclosed presentation (annex)
gives an overview of the items handled. The project management
will provide the time sheet and the declaration form at short notice
accompanied with guidelines to use them. Thereby two proposals
will be made regarding the financial management.

Next EXACT-meeting
Depending on the budget, the proposal is to have five instead of
four transnational meetings. The planning of the next meeting is
important, because of a) the remaining project time and b) the
upcoming interim report. The next meeting will be held from
October 20 – October 23 2010; first option is Gijon (ES), second
option is Doncaster (UK). During the second meeting will be decided
whether EXACT will have four or five meetings.

Introduction Youth Summit Nörrkoping
Introduction of the Youth Summit in Nörrkoping as been organised
in the framework of E2C-Europe. The event will be held from April
18 till April 22 2010. The Youth Summit consists of a student
meeting and a teacher meeting. The EXACT-consortium will take
part in the Summit via the partners Weiterbildungskolleg, E2C
Champagne, Doncaster College and E2C Nörrkoping. Two hours are
calculated for introduction and dissemination of EXACT during this
Youth Summit; also there is an opportunity to collect good practices
from the field. As all the participants are expected to bring practices
“how to motivate the unmotivated”, the link between the Youth
Summit and EXACT is evident. The programme of the Youth Summit
is shown below in the image.

Internal and external communication


List of contact details is important; official name of the institution
and the contact person (with e-mail address) are the minimum
requirements in this list. Online meetings are regarded as important;
a suggestion is to contact “Zuidplein” (of the Higher Education
Institute ZUYD in Maastricht-Heerlen) for the technical facilities..

Newsletters are planned as part of the dissemination work


packages; 4 newsletters are planned to send to a large scale public.
Important is however that there is enough content/news to spread.
Lay-out should be structured, also the referring point (website) is a
point of interest.

Regarding the website the structure and the use of it need to be


clarified, before the construction works start. The website needs to

be easy-to-use and attractive. Art. 27 will provide as soon as
possible an example. A close cooperation is necessary between Die
Berater and Art. 27. First the website will be developed as an
internal working place. Later on in the project the website will be
elaborated as a good-looking dissemination tool. First of all, the logo
proposals will be presented to the partners. After the information
of Die Berater, Art. 27 can deliver the website within a month.
Development of the logo will be done as soon as possible by Art. 27.

External evaluation
External evaluation will be done by the Open University. The Open
University will be invited to attend at least two transnational
meetings. After the contract is signed between Open University and
the project coordinator, an evaluation plan will be developed by
Open University.
