The VIRCLASS partners held an international seminar in Madrid at the Complutense University 20. September 2006.
The theme was: “E-learning method in International cooperation and social work learning.
Partners involved in the VIRCLASS project presented aspects about the project, the pedagogy in e-learning, elements from the new Virtual Book – a Guide to social work in Europe, and lectures about anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory practice, critical theories and critical reflection.
The next three days partners in the VIRCLASS project had their meeting and prepared the Educational Programme for new e-learning students starting the 16.October this year.
Before deadline for applications more than 50 students have applied, representing 12 countries.

Bergen University College has invited the leaders and project members from the partner institutions in VIRCLASS to a three days meeting from 23-25 November. Our hope is to be able to settle an agreement about future administration and financial support for the e-learning courses in the future.

The group is working very well and we are looking forward meeting our new students in the Virtual classroom for social work in Europe.
