Outlinking at present trends of implementation and application of Knowledge Sharing : setting up of informal communities within a formal environment and a narrative database system
Good morning and welcome to everybody. Lifelong learning. A bit of a challenge that really, isn't it? I was just thinking last night in terms of, in my life when I was learning to drive a car.

Sachant que les deux sont, évidemment, en très gros overlap. Alors, je crois qu'il y a des transparents, voilà...

Future approaches to implement Knowledge Sharing in our organizations and in our network
Questa conferenza rappresenta bene i contenuti, le forme, le condizioni di crescita di un’associazione internazionale di organismi e di operatori della formazione e dei servizi per l’impiego quale è l’AEFP.
