The closing seminar will bring together RML stakeholders (educators, teaching and learning experts interested in OER/OEP, policy makers in RML) for a two-day event in Leeuwarden, in June 2015.
The event will be hosted in the premises of P6. (Post Plaza Hotel)
The scope of the seminar is to valorise practices of OER uptake that emerged from awareness raising activities and to offer new possibilities for collaboration of RML stakeholders in the OER/OEP field.
Fruitful exchange will therefore be sought between the RML experts and OER experts who will be invited to the venue (min. 1 international expert outside the LangOER team will join with T & S costs covered by the LangOER budget).
In addition, LangOER network members will attend the closing seminar in an engaged and productive way with seminar participants. They will be present from the day before, when the project meeting #4 will take place.
Finally, grants will be provided to representatives of less used languages coming from countries whose language are not among the languages of the LangOER consortium.
