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.
