How many times have you sat in conferences just listening to people reading their papers and having no opportunity to get actively involved? We too have suffered from such frustration so in our TNTEE Conference in Lisbon we intend to do something to change it! All the papers, discussion documents and material for workshops will be made available to conference delegates on the TNTEE conference web-site already in April 1999. Discussion pages will also be set up and the authors will raise some points of interest/concern to them arising from their work. You as a delegate will also be invited to pose questions and raise issues. The de-bate will thus hopefully have begun even before we meet at the conference. Sessions there may thus primarily be concerned with explanation, development and discussion of the issues raised, and our intention is to produce outcomes of use and value to the participants and to provide relevant information, advice and queries for those who will have the task of setting the agenda for Teacher Education in the next century, through a 'Green Paper' which will be one of the outcomes of the conference.

Join us, both on the web and in Lisbon and make your voice heard!
