Storyline – Learning for Sustainable Development 11-12 April 2008 Gothenburg, Sweden
315 delegates from ten countries attended this Second Nordic Storyline Conference which was organised by Storyline Sweden. The theme Storyline – Learning for Sustainable Development provided a very creative target for all involved, whether keynote speakers or workshop presenters. By general consensus the two-day event was a big success. Everything had been so carefully planned – from the ‘Seek & Find’ wall which encouraged participants to involve themselves in networking to the show of work from the pre-conference courses which provided a colourful visual display of related topics. The exhibition hall buzzed with interest at each break. Teaching materials, books and examples of classroom work were studied with care. The English speaking delegates were amazed at the flexibility of programming that allowed them to feel at home in their choices of workshop – a credit to the planners. Even students from the Further Education College which was situated in the building used as the conference centre became eager helpers as they explained that their course was in tourism and that they welcomed the opportunity to work with international clients. They acted as guides and were always available to answer questions or solve problems. Congratulations are due to the team Storyline Sweden seen below –
