STEPS TOWARDS INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT

WHICH COUNTRIES SHOULD BE INVOLVED?

• Those which are active in these discussions now? What is the right category?
• Geographical-
  • EC countries?
  • Western Europe?
  • Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals?
  • Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States?
  • Europe and the United States?
  • Europe and North America?
  • world-wide?
• Professional -
  • countries which have a national suggestopedic association - A, Arg, CH, D, DK, F, FIN, GB, S, USA
  • countries in which there are teacher-trainers using suggestopedia, effective-affective learning etc. (the above plus E, H, I, S, EST, RUS)
• Size -
  • is it more realistic to think of agreement between a smaller number of countries first?
  • i s so, what is a manageable size for a first group of countries?
  • or do we go for a group of countries with similar versions of suggestopedia?

  WHAT ABOUT INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION?

• European Community countries: is it enough to apply for accreditation in one country?

One fine day, accreditation in one country should be valid in the rest of the community

• If so, what factors affect which country is selected -
  • ease of access to authorities?
  • personal contacts?
  • precedent?
  • bureaucratic speed?
• outside EC:
  • must accreditation be applied for separately for each?
  • if so, who applies, the national organisation, or whoever is dealing with suggestopedic certification internationally?
  • would a program which is already accredited in EC be a good basis for a proposal in other countries?
  • timing - get the training working first?
