Hi Till,
Thanks a lot for your effort. I'm in touch with my colleagues from the University of Cologne. They can also help us as they closely cooperate with German teachers and pre-service teachers.
Viele Grüße,
Ela

>> education) - in different countries we have different educational
>> system so also different age groups
>> 3) school teachers, working with young people aged 12/14-19
>> (secondary education) - in different countries we have different

>> pre-service and/or in-service school teachers skills and knowledge,
>> 5) GI educators responsible for improving GIS skills and knowledge
>> of
>> very different groups of users (specialists, scientists, public
>> administration staff, etc.)
>>
>> Well... We can of course make not 1 workshop but 2 or more (if room

>> the training? Moreover, how to get participants for only one-day

>>
>> In my opinion, we would have no problems to get people from group no
