Capacity-Building
for Community-based Literacy and Life Skills Education Programmes for Disadvantaged
Young Adults (CABLE4Y Project): International Planning Meeting in Hamburg,
Germany, 23-26 March 2004
UIE is starting this 2-year project on the development of training materials for the co-ordinators and trainers of community-based literacy and life skills education programmes with specific target to female youth in six countries; Bangladesh, China, Lao PDR, Mali, Niger and Zambia. Training materials will be prepared by these programmes using a two-pronged strategy: (1) Promoting locally-generated materials and (2) drawing on the expertise and prototype materials developed by the Asia/Pacific Cultural Centre for UNESCO (ACCU, Tokyo), the Asia-Pacific Programme of Education for All (APPEAL, Bangkok) and the University of South Africa (UNISA, Pretoria) as reference during the first year. In-country training activities and exchange visits are foreseen in the second year. An international planning meeting for this project will be organised at the Institute from 23 to 26 March 2004 inviting project partners from the participating countries. Action plans for national and international activities will be prepared after the participants are exposed to various types of training materials and their production and usage. The project is supported by UNESCO/Japan Funds-in-Trust. Contact: Rika Yorozu |
