Information letter no.3 Justice Athens October 2003
Hello colleagues and friends,.
Only two weeks to go and we will meet up in Athens
Our Web server has been very bad lately, but should now be up and running. Please let me know if you have not received info letters no.1 and 2.
· At the bottom of this info letter is the final programme for the course. Only small adjustments can be made to this.
· You will see from the programme that we wish that each country should tell about examples of good practise within their society and/or educational system, related to human rights, rights of children, rights of minorities, efforts and work being done to promote equality, anti-discrimina-tion and/or anti-racist attitudes. This should be between 10-15 minutes. Those of you from the same country should communicate with each other by e-mail about this on how you will present this. The e-mail addresses to everyone can be found on the Justice Web site http://it.pedf.cuni.cz/justice
· I have had a question if the hotel has only been booked until the 17th. This is not so, ALL of you have been booked into the hotel until Saturday 18th Oct when you can depart after breakfast.
· The price, if you wish, to stay at the hotel prior to or after the conference, is 131 Euros per night incl. American breakfast buffet. Those who wish to do so can contact the hotel directly.
· The invoics are being sent you Tuesday 30th September through our finance office, but I will also mail you a copy if you wish to pay beforre the invoice comes by post.
· As mentioned in infoletter no.2 we wish to create a Justice European Market place where you introduce something about your country and/or your institution (posters, brochures, pictures etc., even typical sweets , food or drinks if you wish(!) so we could make a kind of presentation around the conference room.
· One aim at at Comenius 2.1 courses is to find futuyre partners for future Comenius 1 projects so if any one has any ideas about future Comenius projects please bring them along and we can put them on to the Justice Market Place.
Best wishes to you all on behalf of the Justice team
