10.11.04 WHY a brochure?
A brochure because it is a very easy and immediate media, to dissseminate the ARGO project, to give a plug to our initiatives among the “insiders” and, above all, to wide-spread the info on ARGO trying to catch those users seemingly distant far from the “ARGO world”.
The brochure will be avaible in the Italian and English version, it has been designed allowing for the project clues and needs.
The brochure represents an action of promotion, dissemination and communication of the project outputs on the territory as well as the brochure is an output of the project itself!
As far as the criteria leading the working out of the brochure, have been choosen key sentences, concise, displaying immediately the ARGO features.
With regard to design, it has been given space to bright colours and winning design.
Finally the brochure mentions the project methodology, highlightening the significance of ARGO communication strategy, being developed through the WEB technologies

10.10.04 Georges Asseraf, Chief Inspector from French Ministry of Education and Research, introduced the French “Professionnalisation durable” system, a method to devise professional profiles shareable. He observed that, actually, diplomas, as they are based on the labour market, are national (therefore the professional profiles are national), indeed, as Europe need diplomas based on an European labour market, it should depend on a international professional profile, therefore he proposed the building of common “referentielle” of  Vocational Training

26.02.04 Regarding the discussion on the basic competences, Some brief notes to comment the results of the test presented during the selections for the course IFTS "Technical for the development and the organization of the integrated tourism" that it is developing near the I.P.C. “G. Fortunato” in Naples

 

ARGO-->   In order to reach this goal, the partners of the project, after a careful analysis of the complex network of European and national regulations in force, strong in their practical knowledge within the limits of their regional professional competences, will work out: models for the accreditation of any basic acquired competence when starting a course; instruments aiming either at assessing professional competences or at providing an incentive to self-training; minimal standards of competence characterising the professional profile of the "Higher level Technician competent in tourist organisation and marketing" production of various didactic materials (tests, hypertexts, simulations, etc.) that will be easily accessible and inexpensive, in compliance with the objectives, and adjusted to the professional standards required at a European level. The project can be motivated as follows: at present there are no methods or instruments aiming at assessing or evaluating the accreditation of competences - sometimes quite remarkable - accumulated in formal and informal training programs it is certainly necessary to confront professional skills at a European level it is moreover necessary to open up to confrontation, which, also within the limits of one's profession, will help to improve, enlarge and refine one's experience. The ARGO project aims at promoting the re-qualification and mobility of workers in the nations that are partners in the project. The topics of the projects can be described as follows: the elaboration and dissemination of the basic European standard of base skills and technical-professional skills characterizing the profile of the "Higher level Technician competent in tourist organization and marketing". Through this study, two kinds of skills, that are usually acquired after a working experience, can be evaluated: base skills in literacy and numeracy (indispensable conditions, necessary to allow individuals devoid of a secondary school diploma, to access higher education technical-professional skills specific to the different working fields of activity the identification of a model, acknowledged in the partners' nations, for the accreditation of skills when accessing post-diploma higher education courses The identification of a standard of competence and a model for the accreditation of competence, has been limited to a well determined sector: the tourism marketing. Their definition and the methodology used and shared at a transnational level were of a primary importance.
