Description:<br />
The aim of project was to create and offer Unlimited Learning for all children and<br />
students in the partner regions and go from a teaching organisation to a learning<br />
organisation. More specifically, the project objectives were to define and try out<br />
indicators for a learning organisation, to find out how to organise and manage a<br />
learning organisation, to create sustainable local and European networks, to use<br />
ICT as a creative tool in the pedagogical process and to try and evaluate Action<br />
Learning (AL) as a method for cross border cooperation.<br />
A learning organisation needs to be managed by a learning leader; a non-learning<br />
leader will not recruit learning persons and will also suppress a learning attitude<br />
eventually. Action Learning can be useful for organising learning groups that help in<br />
constant learning, the foundation for a learning organisation. Therefore, learning<br />
leaders are the core of the learning organisation and learning management sets the<br />
framework for the learning organisation. During the first year partners, discussed the<br />
challenges: “what is a learning leader? What is a learning organisation? What are the<br />
optimal conditions for learning?”. During the second year, it addressed the<br />
identification of the needs and competences of a learning leader and develops actions<br />
for change and development.<br />
Main results were studies of local and transnational action learning groups,<br />
workshops on “leadership” and “competences”, movies reflecting the effect of i-pads<br />
on pupils, learning exhibitions, project logo, website, learning materials and booklet<br />
of the project, published in three languages. The movie showcases interviews with<br />
headmasters and teachers on how they perceive their own inner journey and change<br />
and what they see at this point in time. They also discuss how this inner change is the<br />
basis for organisational change. The materials are available in EST site.<br />
