First of all education was replaced with learning, promotional activities have been expanded in a week and to four cities in the Serbia and at the end partly we moved it into virtual environment. Website dodjohvidehnaucih.eu launched by Adult Education Society with support of dvv international in the middle of December. The main objective of this site is continual promotion of adult learning and education. It consisted of the three following sections:

Learning experience is place for promotion of learner’s stories, practical knowledge and short statements about learning process. This material is present in video, photo and text format.

Learn to learn is subsection where visitors of the site can learn how to learn or read texts about learning.

Where and what you can learn is place for the national database of the educational programmes for adults.

Blog is part of the website which can be used for reflections about learning and education.

For few months team of the Adult Education Society was working on the concept for the website. During this time texts about learning opportunities was prepared. We were searching for good examples of the learner’s stories and recorded few of them. When we formed network of partners was made decision that organizing on-line contest was the most adequate promotional strategy for the future website. Promotional activities included: broadcasting of radio jingles, facebook and youtube activities, pamphleteering in the shopping malls and public events and establishing temporary info points with purpose to enable equal access for all to on-line contest. The decision about winner of the contest was made by voters, but special prices were awarded by local juries. Launching web portal www.dodojohvidehnaucih.eu was establishing opportunity for continual promotion of the adult education and learning not only in Serbia, but in countries from the region which don’t have language barriers.
