Project description

The aim of the project is to contribute to the activities of dissemination of the Socrates Minerva projects among all potentially concerned subjects as well as among an non-specialized audience. The Spread Project, in addition, aims at supporting the activities carried out by the Socrates projects through innovative promotional and publicizing strategies. The Socrates program is meant to develop educational innovations in order to improving the quality of educational systems and enhance their accessibility. The Spread project, therefore, aims at developing a collaborative approach among the stakeholders of the Open and Distance Learning field, facilitating the circulation of information and developing a network structure that allows these stakeholders to share their own experiences and develop synergies among these experiences. Another goal of Spread is to encourage the trainers’ community, mainly that of the countries that are about to join the EU, to play an active and wide-ranging role in the process of exchange of good practices and excellence-level experiences in the field of ICT for education. In brief, the general objectives of Spread are to:

• Publicize the Socrates program among a non-specialized audience through an innovative strategy of the project results promotion.
• Promote and disseminate the process of integration that developed among the activities carried on by the Socrates program and the different country-systems in general and the activities carried on by the Socrates program and the various educational agencies of the country-systems in particular.
• Develop, in an innovative and efficient way, the utilization of databases in order to gather the results reached by the various projects of the Socrates program and enhance their synergy and coordination.
• Open a new channel of dissemination and develop promotional strategies based on innovative and original approaches.
