The Summit will be held on 28 May 2007 <BR>in Nairobi.<BR><BR>The African TVET Summit will bring together TVET experts, policy makers and <BR>practitioners to share experiences, discuss strategies, and implement <BR>mechanisms for the promotion and sustainability of best practice. Innovative <BR>ICT-based TVET initiatives will be identified by a panel of experts in the <BR>field and their developers will have the opportunity to present their work
<BR>at the Summit. The panel will designate one TVET project as the "African <BR>Educational ICT Landmark Project" and it will receive support until the next <BR>Summit in 2008, when another landmark initiative will be selected.<BR><BR>Discussions and plenaries will investigate how eLearning can be used <BR>effectively in technical vocational education and training, how ICT-based <BR>training can help bridge the gap between theory and practice, and which <BR>best-practice cases from other backgrounds can serve as role models. The <BR>event will provide insight into the current status of eLearning in TVET and <BR>enable participants to exchange experience.<BR><BR>The African TVET Summit is supported by the Kenyan Ministry for Education, <BR>the UNESCO International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and <BR>Training (UNESCO-UNEVOC), the UNESCO Regional Office for Education in Africa <BR>(UNESCO/BREDA), the Commonwealth of Learning, the German Federal Institute
