Multiplier conference
From the 1st to the 2nd of September 2011, the TANDEM partnership organised a final conference in Sofia, Bulgaria. About 30 persons from 11 countries participated those two days to get to know the project and products the partnership has produced. In addition, they had the possibility to exchange ideas on how to foster the sustainability of the project. Thus, representatives of training and VET organisations talked about mainstreaming and multiplication possibilities in Italy, Latvia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain and the UK in addition to those presented by the partners from Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Norway and the Netherlands. Here is what some of them said:
‘I very much like the TANDEM stories and I can imagine that our teachers will like to use them in our school.’
‘This is excellent material to teach cultural diversity.’
‘I think the TANDEM approach can be of added value in guidance counselling in connection with awareness raising regarding own competencies amd self esteem building.’

Finally, teachers and trainers from Bulgaria talked about their experience with the TANDEM approach and six young interviewees described what they learned from organising TANDEM interviews with older migrants in Sofia and surroundings. Some of them thought that it was a good way to learn about their own competences and about what work life might bring to them; some reported that they had become aware of the difficult situation many migrants had to face when starting their new lifes in a foreign country. All of them enjoyed being part of the project and are proud of having contributed to deliver some of the 100 stories available on the TANDEM library.(www.tandem-library.eu)
