My  name is Jens Vermeersch. I am responsible for the internationalisation department of Het GO! This is the umbrella organisation of the official education in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium (i.e. Flanders and Brussels). I work together with Veerle De Troyer and Katrien Lehouck. We support our schools who want to start with an International project and we co-ordinate bigger projects ourselves or we are a partner in such a project. These are some results of recent projects we co-ordinated: www.hereduc.net on heritage education www.odlexpert.net on introducing open and distance education in adult education www.circe.be on using ICT in teaching Latin and Greek We are alo developping a brand new Comenius project called TACCLE on the didactical use of learning environments in schools. Have a look at www.taccle.eu
