Ladies and Gentlemen,It is a pleasure for me to be with you, here in İstanbul at the FairSTART project meeting. a project coordinated by Bodil ABLA (Madsen) The School for Social and Health Education, the media department, Aarhus, Denmark the International 2 year program supported by European Union Leonardo Division with partners Danish group , Austria, Romania, Italy Spain, Southern Cyprus and Turkey.
How to create sustainable Multilateral partnership for European, has been the subject of this transnational working group. The project focused in particular the beneficiaries To develop and test programs for quality caretaking in European orphanages and foster families. For children < 3 years
I was asked to speak today about the role of the Turkey in the framework of LLP and the Education and Training Programme. The LLP Programme is a very ambitious one, as it is necessary. Let me start by recalling you that project is about
Involving institutional leaders in the program.Model for self-assessment in local institutions: caretaking practices and organizational state.Developing local models for training and development. Project group is coaching local initiatives.
Training of role models (instructors) in Denmark.Local institutions evaluate their work with the program.Adjustment of materials and quality indicators.Establishing transnational community of professional caretaker organizations.
Final recommendations for quality standards, indicators and educational methods.Final version of local organizational development program.Final version of internet training materials. , We have come a long way since then. With the help of Neils Peter Rygaard
To maintain that local partners in the program (orphanages, foster families, etc.) are active co-developers of good practice. To make use of local traditional caretaking traditions in practice development. To increase early brain activity and development by daily stimulation.
To develop coherent caretaking in order to promote secure attachment in children. To develop family like groups for the children in order to promote normal attachment and social skills. To develop peer relations in family groups for attachment and social development. To provide basic social, emotional and cognitive learning opportunities for children.
To let the children participate in society life and create communication between the institution/ foster family and the local environment.There currently are 3 overall objectives to be achieved by 2013 for the benefit of the citizens and of the EU as a whole are:
to improve the quality and effectiveness of EU education and training systems,- to ensure that they are accessible to all,- to open up education and training to the wider world.
One of the Key-Activities of the Programme is Dissemination, spreading and implementing the results. In order to maximise the impact of results, activities and projects funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme, FAIRstarshould be implemented throughout Europe for dissemination and benefit of all potential users.
Each EU-funded project needs to disseminate and exploit its own results. to promote mutual learning and understanding between countries and training systems; and to enrich competences of the people who participate in such programme ..
finally,"Investment in education and Training produce high returns which substantially outweigh the costs and reach far beyond 2013".Ladies and Gentlemen,I hope that FAIRstart Conference will take us more closer and I am glad to be here and be able to share the results of the FAIRstart project with you.
