[icann-see] [Was: Apply now Balkan School on Internet Governance] Few questions to consider

[Liljana Pecova]

I would be happy to share my experiences. I come from governmental
institution, yet working with NGOs in the schools and for these 4 years
believe me I have addressed more issues than teachers themselves. However,
we should not rely to the school system, but find a way to make a joint
curricula within the informal education using the NGO's approach....etc.

Lots of topics to discuss and raise... How about we agree on step 1>
defining the countries (participants from this mailing list) to share their
view and to agree on the step 2> needed topics to be addressed to
youngsters. If we agree on the top 10 topics we could arrange on the skills
needed and curricula is founded....

There is a big work to be done, but jointly we could do much more.

Thanks,
Liljana
