**************************************************
Berlin, Germany / Nairobi, Kenya - The first African Technical Vocational 
Education and Training (TVET) Summit "Access and Inclusion for TVET in 
Africa through new ICT-based solutions" will take place in conjunction with 
this year's eLearning Africa, the annual pan-African conference on ICT for 
Development, Education and Training. The Summit will be held on 28 May 2007 
in Nairobi.

The African TVET Summit will bring together TVET experts, policy makers and 
practitioners to share experiences, discuss strategies, and implement 
mechanisms for the promotion and sustainability of best practice. Innovative 
ICT-based TVET initiatives will be identified by a panel of experts in the 
field and their developers will have the opportunity to present their work 
at the Summit. The panel will designate one TVET project as the "African 
Educational ICT Landmark Project" and it will receive support until the next 
Summit in 2008, when another landmark initiative will be selected.

Discussions and plenaries will investigate how eLearning can be used 
effectively in technical vocational education and training, how ICT-based 
training can help bridge the gap between theory and practice, and which 
best-practice cases from other backgrounds can serve as role models. The 
event will provide insight into the current status of eLearning in TVET and 
enable participants to exchange experience.

The African TVET Summit is supported by the Kenyan Ministry for Education, 
the UNESCO International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and 
Training (UNESCO-UNEVOC), the UNESCO Regional Office for Education in Africa 
(UNESCO/BREDA), the Commonwealth of Learning, the German Federal Institute 
for Vocational Education and Training and the organisers of the eLearning 
Africa conference, ICWE and Hoffmann & Reif Consultants.

Regularly updated information on the Summit and the eLearning Africa 
conference programme can be found at www.eLearning-Africa.com.

eLearning Africa 2007 takes place from May 28 to 30, 2007, under the 
patronage of the Hon. Prof. George Saitoti, Minister for Education, Kenya. 
It is the largest pan-African conference with a focus on ICT for 
development, education and training on the Continent. It is organised by 
ICWE GmbH and Hoffmann & Reif Consultants to establish and link a network 
and community of decision makers from governments and administrations with 
universities, schools, governmental and private training providers, 
industry, and important partners in development cooperation. Each year a 
different African country will serve as the venue.
