| History and Status of Workshop 19 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TIMSIS started an EU funded project, in which a group of teacher training institutions as well as hospital schools from six countries develop webbased information material focusing on the re-integration of severely or chronically ill pupils into their home schools. It is the aim to facilitate the ill pupils' way back to normalcy. The material addresses itself to two target groups: teachers (and parents) ill pupils and their classmates In 2008, following an agreement between Hope and the Ludwigsburg University of Education (Germany), TIMSIS became an HOPE Workshop and is now continuing its work. What is TIMSIS? It is the abbreviation for “Teacher in-service training material concerning pupils with serious and chronic illnesses in both regular and hospital attached schools”. TIMSIS started its work in 2004 as a Comenius 2.1 project. With a budget of € 310’000.- (plus ca. € 360’000.- worth of manpower brought in by the project partners) a team of teachers from hospital schools and lecturers from universities from 6 countries (Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Norway and Russia) developed a wonderful internet platform for teachers, parents and children. The project was coordinated by Wolfgang Langer and Ulrike Steiger from the Ludwigsburg University of Education in Germany. Now HOPE Workshop 19 Following an agreement between HOPE and the University of Education Ludwigsburg (Germany) from November 2007, TIMSIS became an HOPE Workshop which started its work at the HOPE congress in Tampere (Finland) on 6 June 2008. The workshop members aim at translating the material into other languages (preferably into Spanish, French, Italian…) and at adding information about more illnesses in as many languages as possible. The workshop language is English and we agreed on starting every new disease in English. Fortunately, Wolfgang Langer and Ulrike Steiger as well as others from the former project and HOPE members from different countries agreed on supporting our workshop. Use it or lose it! If you are a committed teacher who works (also) with chronically or severely ill children you can profit from the precious information and send the link to your colleagues, patients and their parents. We know that information is a crucial point for the inclusion of our patients! If you can offer translation for free or you are able to start a new disease (always in English first), please do not hesitate and contact the workshop coordinators. If you find something which is not correct or should be updated, please help us with more suitable or new information. Where do I find this treasure of information? www.hospitalteachers.eu/timsis Workshop coordinators: Michele Capurso (board member from Italy) who will care for the technical aspects Wolfgang Langer (coordinator of the former Comenius-project) Christine Walser (committee member from Switzerland) who “happily volunteered” to become a coordinator ;-) contact: ch.walser@gmx.ch |
