Joining hands
with Singapore's Ministry
of Education, ASEF organised a successful conference that was
held in Singapore from 2 - 5 September 2001. The 1st International
Teachers' Conference was a very significant pilot project that followed
up on the seminar on the AEC held in Copenhagen in May 1998. This
project aimed to promote ICT as a powerful, efficient and economical
tool to encourage exchanges among teachers and students of high schools
in Asia and Europe. The 2001 Conference provided 63 high school teachers
from 18 ASEM countries with an opportunity to concretise their ideas
on on-line educational projects and integrate such projects into their
curricula.
The 63 participants came to Singapore with different cultural backgrounds
and experiences in the field of education. Despite this, the participants
demonstrated considerable enthusiasm and motivation to put aside their
cultural differences to develop common project ideas and strengthen
collaboration between high school teachers from Asia and Europe.

At the end of the intensive four-day Conference, seven promising projects
were evolved. These seven projects are: "The
Effects of Modernisation on Agriculture", "Nuclear
Energy", "Cultural
Fusion", "Water
is Life", "1st
Asia-Europe Classroom Meeting Point", "Halo-Halo
to Mooncake", and "T.O.F.U
(TransOceanic Forum United)".
Many of the participants had expressed the wish for this initiative
to be continued. In response, ASEF is planning for the 2nd International
Teachers' Conference in September 2002 in Europe. The second Conference
would enable the project teams to report on the development of the
projects and allow more high school teachers in Asia and Europe to
come together to generate new ideas for joint collaboration via the
AEC initiative. |
