Frankly Speaking

Conceptualising and writing – an essential part of our work

Next to our work as educationalists and trainers, we are active in many different additional roles in learning activities. Whether as documentalist, rapporteur or rapporteur general, supervisor, corrector, evaluator or editor, we enjoy observing, thinking, conceptualising, discussing and writing as much as we appreciate the other aspects of our work.

Examples of our projects include the anthology “How big is your world” resulting from the “Europe, Youth and Globalisation” event, training kits on European Citizenship and Educational Evaluation, several documentations of residential seminars in the framework of Euro-Mediterranean youth work, an impact study of an institutional training scheme on European Citizenship, an edited volume on prospects for Democracy in Belarus and a publication on human rights in urban areas of Europe.

Here is a list of links to some of our writing available online — as with most of our work, many of these are co-operative publications and joint efforts of teams and organisations, and our contributions to these publications are diverse (ranging from contributor to editor, translator, or publisher):
