"Celebrating Innovative ICT in Education Practices: From Idea to Impact"

UNESCO
is organizing a special event to celebrate the spirit of innovativeness
between 24-26 June 2008 at the Imperial Queen's Park Hotel in Bangkok,
Thailand.

Enhancing UNESCO's efforts to achieve the Education for All and lifelong learning goals, the Innovative Practices in ICT in Education
project was launched in 2007 to identify, document, share and multiply
ICT in education innovations with the support of the Japanese
Funds-in-Trust (JFIT). One component of the project is the UNESCO ICT
in Education Innovation Awards designed to recognize outstanding work
by (i) teacher and teacher educators, (ii) educational planners and
administrators, and (iii) non-formal educators. The project design also
includes training workshops to share and scale-up selected innovations.

Likewise, other organizations, foundations and corporations have
contributed substantially to promote and reward innovative ICT in
education initiatives and projects. This collective commitment and
efforts among the ICT in education community should be acknowledged and
commended.

This event, Celebrating Innovative ICT in Education Practices: From Idea to Impact, involves a variety of activities to meet several objectives, including:

• An award ceremony to recognize the winners of the UNESCO ICT in Education Innovation Awards;
• A
  market place/exhibition to showcase and share innovative ICT in
  education initiatives and projects from public and private sectors;
• Key players' meeting to share information and explore potential for collaboration;
• Training workshops for teacher educators and teachers on two ICT in education modules; and
• Networking opportunities to strengthen the ICT in Education Community of Practice.

Participants will include:

• Winners of awards conferred by UNESCO;
• Winners of awards conferred by other agencies, foundations and corporations;
• Ministers, government officials and their representatives;
• Policy makers, administrators, principals, teacher educators and teachers;
• Representatives
  from public and private sectors, donor agencies, intergovernmental
  organizations, non-governmental organizations;
• The general public.

UNESCO invites you to come and celebrate this occasion with us. Participation at the Key Players' Meeting is by invitation only.
