Maybe I should keep the name of that project in mind.... Comenius, eh?

[Bereta_Eder]

yes it is part of the socrates program IIRC.

anyway, if you go to the EC offices they'll tell you all about it

[Ecthy]

I might do that enxt time I'm in Berlin, although I hardly ever get there during weekdays...

London, Cardiff, Edinburgh or Belfast. Great, about the furthest you can place the damn things from Hull

[Solly]

Try writing to them.

Take a risk.

And the link mentioned with the London address looks promising:

Already been to that link but not a lot there. I have done a websearch and I am reading some stuff on it now.

From what I've gathered so far, maybe it would be more productive to make an appointment and go there yourself.
Be present, take matters into your own hands etc...

But then again living in the capital maybe I'm assuming it's easy to just go there

[Provost Harrison]

Every single one of those offices is the best part of 400km away for me...and having little money it is going to be very difficult to get there. I can only get to London cheaply on a Saturday, when they are bound to be closed.

Besides the Comenius thing seems to be to do with inter-school stuff. Are you sure you got the right name?

think of it as a nice little trip

in any case good luck

hmm, there is
1.socrates
2.comenius
3. and another one the name of which escapes me at the moment


one of those 3 is the one I'm talking about.

call them and ask to be sure. (you'd need to call them anyway to make an appointment)
