I am just back from the final meeting of the Leonardo EU project VOCA2 which sought to develop a mentor training course so that mentors could support disabled adults back into the labour market. Part of the final meeting was a conference in conjunction with two other projects which was a chance to learn more about technology supported learning.
The weather was warm, dry and sunny, the food delicious and it was particularly moving to visit the TV tower in Vilnius where protestors were killed by Russian tanks 16 years ago when Lithuania became independent again. It turned out that our tour guide had joined the Singing Revolution immediately afterwards.
It seemed that everybody was getting married in Lithuania. Everywhere we went and no matter which day, there were always bridal parties getting out of stretch limousines.
