As can be seen from above the Project was intended to cover traditional areas like seminars, workshops, training, studies, plans, etc. The Project Management realized - after some time - that in order to achieve something that would really provide a tangible learning experience and serve as a Best Practice Example for others, there was a need for a more hands-on approach.
Please go to Project Accomplishment part to find out how this was achieved.. (Please note that the page includes many pictures and will take some time to load.)
The Guestbook is meant to be a place for spontaneous reactions, more comprehensive comments, and questions. It will be more interesting for others if you write something in the Guestbook - so please do!
If you have a link to another website that you think would be beneficial for people visiting this website - please send it to me and I might include it on this page. Then we can set up links to each other for the benefit of everybody.
