LOLA Teaching Pack & Reporter Book
The LOLA exhibition at CCN conference in Hamar, Norway had presented the progress of the LOLA pilot project with the state of the art of the Teaching Pack, the achievements of the schools involved and the perspectives of follow-up…
This first section showed the Teaching Pack in details, the step-by-step didactic process and the corresponding tasks in the kids Reporter Book.

LOLA pilot project in-progress…
5 European teaching training schools involves in the experimentation and discussion of the LOLA Teaching Pack. The second section of the exhibition presented the progress achieved yet by each of groups of students and teachers: translations of the Teaching Pack in original language, presentation of the case of social innovation collected, feedback on the didactic benefit of the process and adaptation needed…

LOLA promising cases…
During the LOLA experimentation process, the students involved and their teachers collected a series of cases of promising initiatives in terms of sustainability. The third section presented all the results achieved yet in the form of a text summary and relative patchworks of photographs.

LOLA discussion & follow-up…
The LOLA pilot project is half-way now. The purpose of this presentation and the LOLA workshop here during the CCN Hamar conference was to discuss and complete the material gathered.

This process is coordinated by the CCN and SEP; and it is also supported by a team of voluntary LOLA Ambassadors (who are active members of CCN). For ensuring direct and clear communication paths with participating schools around the world, the role of ambassador per region or country simplifies relations and feedback to the project. Each ambassador will have certain duties of disseminating information and reporting a For that aspect, an Ambassador Franchising Kit has been created in order to facilitate and prepare their responsibilities. The recruitment of ambassadors process has already begun.

The Next step of LOLA project right now is to promote implementation in secondary schools in and also outside Europe… For that, we need a group of LOLA ambassadors that volunteer to relay the project in their own countries!

What does being an ambassador mean exactly?
We call it Ambassador for both the talent of promotion it requires and the honorific status it confers…
The first task of the LOLA Ambassador’s role is to communicate and disseminate the project: how about organizing a presentation of LOLA at a national teacher conference, distributing brochures or setting-up a small LOLA exhibition (with our help of course)

You will get a lot of questions about this project…and some teachers/headmasters will probably be interested to take part. Your second task is to support them in this participation, show them the LOLA website where they can subscribe and download the Teaching Pack…

Last but not least, your role will be to report back on the participation of the different schools in your country to the LOLA team (to improve and fine tune the Teaching Pack) and at the final CCN conference in 2009 (maybe presenting a paper or taking part to the activities of the LOLA task group)…

To support the LOLA Ambassadors themselves in their roles and tasks, an Ambassador Kit has been prepared!!! is the lovely package that you see in the animation….
It will include a checklist of activities, a set of LOLA brochures, a set of A4 prints to install a small LOLA exhibition, a complete teaching pack, a Participation Certificate for each school volunteering, some reporting formats and all material in digital form on a CD .
