VisMedNet is the result of consolidation from two Comenius Networks and is therefore exploiting the outputs and results of four years of activities that the members have worked on together in the two networks. It is active in the field of use of audiovisual production in education, internationalisation of schools, intercultural education and youth leadership. It has its own training programme that covers topics like the getting youths to speak about human rights, the internationalisation of education through mobility and the use of innovative teaching practices with the scope of broadening the vision of students in secondary schools. VisMedNet is working with the RICK'S cafe network to introduce new management models for schools that help students, teachers, school management and communities have a global view of social and educational developments happening around them.
We wish to bring into our local network our major resource which is a long life of experience and a wide ranging spectrum of views of our members and of the networks we already form part of. We would like to have the opportunity to learn from the experience of other members of the network in their experience with Mediterranean exchange and dialogue.
VisMedNet shares the philosophy of Anna Lindh Foundation in the use of dialogue and exchange between teachers and students, between youth leaders and youths. We believe we have an EU wide contribution of experience to dialogue in the Mediterranean and we possess the necessary in-house know how in project management and concepts development in the area. We wish to increase our network with present members of Anna Lindh Foundation because we can see that this will give us the opportunity to speak with the right interlocutors about issues like immigration, changes in social texture and democracy that are very much an issue at the moment all around the Mediterranean basin.
