FASE, ESPA-EST project partner from Spain, has been coordinating the Leonardo da Vinci project “BABELIA: Training the e-learning language trainer”, related thematically to the ESPA-EST project. The partners participating in the project are from Spain, Belgium, France, Greece, Romania, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Bulgaria and Great Britain.

We are very pleased to inform you that our partner, the Spanish enterprise Iturbrok S.L. from Pamplona, received the First Award of the European Programe Leonardo da Vinci for Quality of the Products in the year 2006. The prize is awarded by the European Union in order to promote space in the European education and vocational training field.

In September 2006 the ESPA EST Project was subject to reorganization changes. The reason for which the changes took place was the leaving of Project Manager Maja Zawierzeniec. Maja Zawierzeniec made a tremendous effort to create and run successfully the project at its first stage until the month of August 2006.

In the first phase of realization of the ESPA-EST project, the strong emphasis was put on disseminating the information about the project objectives, assignments, future results and scientific references related to e-learning subject-matter. The information has been widely spread in academic circles during thematic conferences followed by the series of publications on the issue.
