(UNESCO IBE)-Second E-Forum on the Approaches by Competencies

The International Bureau of Education is organizing the Second E-Forum on the Approaches by Competencies, which will last for three weeks from November 20 to December 8, 2006.

The objective is to provide a plural, open and constructive space for the inter-regional sharing of experiences of curriculum change and development based on the approaches by competencies.
The E-Forum is open to all Community of Practice members; and it will be based on discussing a document (original in French, versions in Chinese, English and Spanish, please click on Document for Discussion) elaborated by the Canadian Institution ORE (Philippe Jonnaert and team). The animation of the E-Forum will be done through a series of questions raised by Philippe Jonnaert.

We invite you to register at the Forum website: by clicking on Register.
