of Social Educators (AIEJI)
The
European Symposium of Social Educators Professional Associations,
was held as it was expected on 7th,8th,9th and 10th of October in
Barcelona (Spain). Twelve out of the twenty –two associations
we invited participated in the meeting. There were Professional Associations
from Denmark, Holland, Iceland, Italy, Norway, the Russian Federation,
Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Unfortunately the rest
of the invited countries could not attend the meeting, some of them
due to economical reasons, some others never answered to our invitation
. We hope there will be more associations coming in future meetings.
We were a group of 30 people, it was possible to work in a convenient
way and to set the basis for future meetings and works.
All
people participating in the Symposium were very active and willing
to work in order to achieve the inherent goals for our subject:. Active
participation of social educators in the definition of their professional
qualifications that allows for mobility of professionals within the
European Union without any compensating measures.
Here
is the Final Declaration for your knowledge and I hope that you can
spread its contents within your country. The European Office of the
International Association of Social Educators is working to set together
and elaborate the materials and documents that were provided and collected
during the Symposium. We are also preparing our annual report of activities,
where we can see that the goals set by our Plan of Work have been
basically achieved.
At
the moment I am working on the European Office of AIEJI’s Plan
of Work for 2004, I would appreciate if you could think of issues
coming up from the professional practice in your countries that can
be backed by our international association. We would join them together
and think of actions on behalf of your ideas.
I
hope you take active part in this process, you should send us your
contributions before December 15th
