Last November, two members of the Lanki Institute attended in Sweden some meetings on the project Skills of Cooperative Learning. Skills is a project co-funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme - Leonardo da Vinci sub-programme. Its goal is to develop innovative educational materials and systems for the formation of cooperative shareholders.

Participants

Alongside members of Lanki, there have actively participated in the meetings people from other cooperative movements and university fields:

• Federazione Trentina della Cooperazione (FTC). Italy.
• Coompanion Kooperativ Utveckling Skaraborg (KUS). Sweden.
• Swedish TelePedagogic Knowledge Center (STPKC). Sweden.
• Anadolu Bil Meslek Yuksek Okulu (ABPSHE). Turky.
• Kemi-Tornion ammattikorkeakoulu (KTP). Finland.
• Lanki Lankidetzaren Ikertegia. Basque Country.

So far, the participants have worked on the competence framework. The next steps are aimed at bolstering the content of that framework and at creating a system of validation for it. The results  from this project are expected by the end of 2009.
