Germany
A Glossary of key terms for Special Needs Education has been developed by the German National Working Partner, Anette Hausotter. The Glossary provides comparative German and English key terms for a number of areas in the SNE field. Attached are files which present English terms in alphabetical order and German terms in alphabetical order.
At the end of 2001, Germany hosted a major conference on SEN. Representatives for across German Lander participated in seminars, presentations and workshops on a number of key themes. Available for download is a conference report covering the areas considered in the conference. The file is in German. For more information, please contact Anette Hausotter, Agency Working Partner for Germany.

We are glad to invite you to the final conference of our project Kids, Art and New Media on the 19th of March 2005 at the Carl-Kraemer-Primary School, Zechliner Straße 4, 13359 Berlin.
Between August 2002 and March 2005 almost 40 projects, which explored the world with digital media have been undertaken by pupils, teachers and artists at primary schools and schools for pupils with special needs. The questions and answers that have arisen from our projects will be discussed in the light of different perspectives.
What is the gain of co-operations between schools and external partners?
Which crises and miracles can occur in collaborative projects in schools and how can we cope with them?
What advantages (or disadvantages) does working with digital media have for pupils with special needs? Which other factors play a part in the progress of a project?
Speeches will be prepared by our academic supervisors, the project leaders and co-ordinators as well as international guests. Furthermore pupils, teachers, and artists will exhibit their work to provide you an insight into the projects and the single steps of the working process. The end of the conference will be marked by the screening of all videos produced during the projects.
Markus Schega, co-ordinator of "Kids, Art and New Media"
Nanna Lüth and Carmen Mörsch, academic supervisors
