For KORRnet members, I see the following as a request for
information about Friends and Partners, which Greg Cole is directing to
link U.S. citizens with Russian citizens, and as a request for us to
inform the world about our efforts to involve community non-profits in our
community's freenet.
This looks to be an international arena about which NIFL will want
to remain informed/more greatly involved. This is one wheel we may not
have to re-invent on our own, but simply help with a few of the spokes.
Please speak up: is there anyone in particular in the NIFL ranks who is
keen to following our international colleagues?

Subject: Fwd: Lifelong learning community network
Help needed in building the lifelong learning world community network.
Freenet Finland will be the "official" national platform for lifelong
learning. This decision is part of the target of the Ministry of Education
for Finland to be the European laboratory of lifelong learning till 1999.
Freenet will also become the network platform of ELLI (European Lifelong
Learning Initiative). The office of ELLI will move from Brussels to
Finland during some coming months. We have one week's time to make ready
the first draft of the network plan for ELLI.
Both new information and working areas will be built according the global
visions and concepts of community networking.
For me community networking = learning = lifelong learning = active living
together. Real learning takes place in communities, passion for learning
has best opportunities to succeed in communities. New networks of
communities will strengthen this path to the future.
The first Finnish Parliamentarian Committee of Lifelong Learning got it's
report ready 1st October. You'll find the English draft of the report,
called "Joy of Learning", in
http://www.freenet.hut.fi/eok/lu4/summary.html
One excerpt of the report of the role of non-governmental organizations as
learning environments:
"The promotion of learning within the framework of non-governmental
organizations, associations and communities should be adopted as one of
the focal points of the policy for the promotion of learning over the next
few years."
We'd like to build the new environment as a world wide concept from the
beginning. That's why we'll need your help, advice, ideas, examples of
learning communities around the world, studies of those, success stories,
good learning practices, info of your future plans in this area, interest
for collaboration etc. This is THE opportunity for us community people,
together, world wide.
Sincerely
