Activities and results during the project
1st meeting in Regen, Bavaria/Germany
Main topics / activities and further results of the seminar in Regen - 2004 January 24 - 28
One of the main topics of the Regen meeting was studying and initiating new projects in the theme of language and intercultural competencies. The Budapest Cultural Centre chose the participants according to the fields of interest. We prepared our participants with the help of materials supported by the Hungarian National Agency. During the preparatory meeting we introduced this project as well as the Grundtvig 2 and 3 project types. Two of the professionals are members of the Hungarian Chat Club, which was set up about three years ago in the line with this project. Originally the aim of the Chat Club was to develop the language skills of Hungarian professionals working in the field of culture and adult education. Hungarian colleagues' intention was to introduce the work they have been doing so far as well as to set up a Chat Club Network on international level. The idea was welcome and during the meeting German and Lithuanian partners join the initiation. The project proposal was submitted and it has been approved by the Hungarian and the German National Agencies so far.
During this meeting another renewal project proposal was worked out in which a Hungarian partner also took part. The "Development and testing of new learning and teaching methods for socially disadvantaged juveniles in a European context" project was submitted in March 2004.

Result: the project was selected in June 2004 to be continued
