At December 10th Napoli was facing a big group<br />

of stu<strong>de</strong>nts, getting of at Statione Mercellina to<br />

climb up the way to the Hostel Mercellina, the<br />

youth hostel where they were supposed to stay for<br />

the final conference of <strong>Socrates</strong> on the move<br />

project.<br />

It was a big ”hello” with everybody happy to see<br />

each other again and sharing their experiences<br />

from the work they have done in the course of the<br />

project.<br />

Whereas Sunday evening rather focused on gathering<br />

of reports and informal meeting, on Monday<br />

morning the conference was officially opened by<br />

the representatives of the Fer<strong>de</strong>rico II University<br />

of Napoli, Samuele Morcia of the Italian National<br />

<strong>Socrates</strong> Agency and the representative of the<br />

European Commission, Marja Karjaleinen.<br />

questions was taken into account on Tuesday<br />

morning during the panel discussion with Marja<br />

Karjaleinen, Samuele Morcia and Inge Knudsen<br />

from the Confe<strong>de</strong>ration of European Union<br />

Rectors’ Conferences.<br />

In the afternoon the promoters and guest were<br />

focussing on discussing the future of <strong>Socrates</strong> on<br />

the move and in what way its extension could be<br />

done.<br />

Final Conference<br />

The highlight of the conference on Monday morning<br />

was presentation of the reports from the participating<br />

countries. All promoters were asked to<br />

present the current situation of the implementation<br />

of <strong>Socrates</strong> II in their respective countries and<br />

their own work.<br />

The reports were often un<strong>de</strong>rlined by rather amusing<br />

stories from events and happenings the promoters<br />

were facing during their work with the<br />

project.<br />

Monday afternoon was reserved for the discussion<br />

groups with Steering group and report from seminars.<br />

The workshops on obstacles of mobility,<br />

impact of <strong>Socrates</strong> II.<br />

Discussion of the workshops was very lively, and<br />

Bologna process gave lively discussion, since<br />

most of the promoters were confronted with various<br />

aspects of those topics and could bring in their<br />

point of view.<br />

The need for discussion and the unending flow of<br />

the <strong>Socrates</strong> <strong>Promoters</strong> to honour the work they<br />

have put down in the project.<br />

Apart from the working session, Napoli offered<br />

various terrific experiences for the participants of<br />

the conference. For most of us, this was the culinary<br />

summit of the year, combined with the<br />

warmest December most of us every experienced.<br />

A big thank to the organisers of ESN Napoli for<br />

the great job they did in organizing this conference.<br />
