What triggers students to create ePortfolios? International seminar to share innovative Europan practices General overfew: The seminar started with some welcoming words from Pedro Dominguinhos the President of the Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal. He showed us the schedule of the Seminar and introduced the different visitors to us. After that Ana Luisa Oliveira Pires and Marja Laurikaninen explained the EEP project a little bit.  Schedual: “What students want?” was the first part of the presentation and it was very interesting for me.   They interviewed a lot of students about this topic and also worked with them on this seminar. Some of the examples came from Ireland and it was interesting to see how the Irish students are thinking about this topic. Most of the interviewed students were talking positive about it and they think it is very useful for their education.

Video: Jermila´s Story A step forward: Jermila was the oldest of 13 kids and her mother was 13 when she was pregnant with her (she always said that 13 was her magic number).

"What are the problems in my country?"

The biggest problem in Austria at the moment is I think that so many people are trying to come to the country and hoping to start a better life. Most of the people who are coming are of course refugees, people who are escaping from their own countries because of war, danger and fear. Mostly the reasons of the wars are religion or other political reasons.Very often these people have lost everything they had and the only thing they could keep is their hope of a better life or at least a life without fear. The real problem in this situation is that there are more and more people coming every single day but we don´t have enough supplies and especially money to support all these people. Moreover most of the people who are coming plan to stay in austria forever what is not possible because of the missing workplaces.   Another problem from the same topic, witch in my opinion is even more tough than the first one is that we can not decide anymore witch of the refugees really nee...
