Dear Francis
Prior to the Geneva meeting in May, Divina formulated and submitted text on
OER as a suggestion for thematic focus in Athens. I think the text is quite
extensive and very useful.
In addition we formulated language for action line C7 on OER and other key
edu issues as well. This was submitted to UNESCO as a contribution to
follow-up.
We should therefore have ample material to submit something on behalf of the
Education TF (I have attached both sumissions).
Let me know how I can help.
Med venlig hilsen/Yours Sincerely
