MarinaKollatou: The 3-Lensus[1] Conference and workshop took place in Thessaloniki on 2-5 November. It was the final conference of the 3-Lensus project and at the conference the participants presented the projects realised in their countries as best practices for sustainable development. FranzNahrada was invited to talk (via skype) about the Globalvillage Initiative. The video as well as his interaction with the audience raised a lot of interest among the people present at the conference. I attended the conference as a guest.
Event on SEETA (S E Europe Teachers Association) moodle platform http://www.seeta.eu about Videobridge. Our videobridge community will educate people-members of the SEETA on-line community of the potential benefits of videobridging. here is the teaser: Videobridge: a tool for the empowerment of local communities One may think "what on earth is the connection between development of local communities and an on-line platform designed to cater for educators needs?"

However, the fact that the event would be broadcast live seemed to be quite an opportunity and a real challenge not only for myself as a teacher and educator but also as a teacher trainer. To be more specific, I thought I could take advantage of this potential and tranform it into an actual learning situation for the teachers of English in my area.
