Latest news from the Community Engagement project!
The Community Engagement project will fund six new projects in 2007. Application forms can be downloaded from the Framework website at flexiblelearning.net.au/ communitypartnerships. Already the Project Manager, Mary Hannan, has spoken to over twenty potential applicants who have discussed their proposed models of e-learning, their target clients and the potential input from a range of community partners. All suggested proposals have been innovative, exciting and importantly have clearly articulated the needs of their individual communities.
Let us hope that all these potential applicants take that final step and apply! Applications close at 9.00am AEST Friday 23 March.
Dr Kaye Bowman has been appointed to conduct a Community Engagement project evaluation. Kaye recently met with members of the project reference committee with whom she discussed the strategy she will undertake to measure the success of the projects funded in 2005 and 2006. This will also provide an opportunity for Kaye to consider and evaluate the project as a whole.
A new staff member joins the Community Engagement project team. Janie McOmish is presently the Public Relations Officer for Adult Learning Australia and will support Mary for one day week. Janie before commencing with Adult Learning Australia, coordinated the ACT Adult Learner’s Week and supported the ACT Adult and Community Education Council. In earlier years Janie has been a High School Teacher. She will bring to the team a great knowledge of the adult and community education sector nationally.
