eLearning Awards 2009, Vilnius

Schoolovision was entered into the eLearning Awards 2009, and we were delighted to hear that it had been shortlisted as one of the top 50 projects, and forwarded to the final Awards Ceremony, which was held in Vilnius, Lithuania on 26th November 2009.

The Lithuanian partner, Aurelija Dirginciene, represented the team at the awards, and the great news was that Schoolovision was declared as the winner in the category "Best Cross Border Cooperation in Europe"!

The prize for this award-winning performance was a cheque for 1000 Euros, a digital camcorder and a lovely trophy!

Odda Primary School is located in Odda city. The oldest part of the school's building is from 1912, but has been refurbished and built on. In January 1998 we used a new, modern extension that includes all 6-year-olds and Children Day-care Center. In January 2003 we’ve got a new ICT- Center and school library. The school has 440 pupils and 65 adults are working there. Odda local authority has about 7100 inhabitants. We are an industrial city with two big factories; Boliden, a zinc company established in 1924, and Tinfos owned by the Eramet Group.
