Worlddidac Mission to the World Bank and to the Inter-American Development Bank
April 28 - 30, 2008
Washington, DC
USA
Become more Efficient in the Development Business!
The World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank provide funds to finance a great number of projects in education and training every year. Many projects include requirements for materials and resources that can be covered by products offered by Worlddidac members. The purpose of this seminar is to learn more about the details of project planning, preparation and implementation. In particular, seminar participants will
• understand the details of project planning and implementation and evaluation
• learn how to design or adjust products and services to make them adaptable to the agendas of development banks
• obtain firsthand contacts to WB and IDB managers, specialists and consultants
• become known as suppliers of educational resources within the bank structures
New Session:
Trends and Concepts in Educational Technologies in Developing Countries
The purpose of the session held on April 30 is to inform WB & IDB mangers and education specialists about new tools and technologies in education and training. Worlddidac experts will use practical examples about state-of-the art technology that contributes to development goals. The examples will provide useful inputs to task managers who may include them in their project agenda. Worlddidac members participating in the seminar of the previous two days will obtain an opportunity to present a product that has the general characteristics of the examples discussed before. In addition, the session will be an excellent networking opportunity and information exchange about current and upcoming projects.
