WEFWAG AIMS

 

Our aim is to create a forum that will enable people from any of the Sections to collaborate in discussions and productive activities that might contribute to a NEW EDUCATION WORLDWIDE in the 21ST CENTURY (NEW21).

 

I have uploaded a copy of the original paper about NEW21 published in the final edition of New Horizons, November 2006.

 

A useful starting point for this forum would be responses to the NEW21 paper - is it on the right lines? How should it be amended? What changes would you want to see in the paper?

 

We would also welcome your ideas of topics or activities for WEFWAG., e.g:

 

Possible ideas include:

 

- active Internet collaboration between schools / colleges / universities on

topics or projects relevant to WEF, e.g. Creativity, global citizenship,

sustainability etc.;

 

- ideas on possible collaboration between teachers and academics in

different sections on publications for which WEFWAG might find a publisher

(or for WEFWAG's website);

 

- any existing activities currently under way in your Section that could be

shared or developed internationally;

 

- suggestions for affiliations with other relevant bodies with whom WEF has

an overlap of interest (where appropriate we might be able to co-op

representatives of other bodies to WEFWAG);

 

- suggestions for projects for which WEFWAG might prepare and submit bids

for sponsorship from relevant bodies (exploiting out international, charity

and UNESCO status as part of our provenance);

 

- discussion topics we might usefully pursue online, perhaps leading to

publications of some kind.

 

Post your ideas and responses onto this site. We hope this will lead to some interesting activities.
