ESEC Transnational Projects 2007-12 Smart, Sustainable And Inclusive Growth | Transnational EU Projects by East of Scotland Local Authorities 2007-2012 Smart, Sustainable And Inclusive Growth | Transnational EU Projects by East of Scotland Local Authorities 2007-2012 S MA RTS USTA INABL EINCLUS IVEGROWTH 2 Smart, Sustainable And Inclusive Growth | Transnational EU Projects by East of Scotland Local Authorities 2007-2012 Forward I am new to my position as Chair of ESEC and learning about the breadth of European Union (EU) related activity which currently takes place in Scotland has been hugely interesting. However, for many people, one of the most tangible aspects of how the EU influences them is through the placards and signs advertising that a project was part funded by European funding. Over the years the number of physical infrastructure projects funded with EU funds has diminished in Scotland, as our regional funds have reduced and focused on less resource intensive areas, such as business support and employability services. What we wanted to achieve with this publication is to highlight another realm of EU project activity which local government also participates in – transnational EU projects – and which even less people are aware of. Transnational EU funding usually involves working with partners from at least two other Member States (or associated areas) on a topic of shared interest. Bi-lateral cooperation is possible under the Lifelong Learning Programmes. By their very nature, it takes more time to develop strong partnerships transnationally than it does regionally, often for smaller financial reward. They also come up against the complication of managing multiple partners and sometimes working to different national rules in terms of audit and compliance. Therefore it is often the case that these funds have earned a reputation as not being for the faint hearted. Part of this exercise is to show case the valuable breadth of project activity currently taking place by our members through this report but also in understanding this breadth be better placed to make recommendations to improve the management and administration systems for future EU programmes in our on-going work. What this ‘project collective’ has done for me is highlight that we have so much to learn from collaboration with other regions of Europe as well as a lot to offer. Mutual learning, best-practice, collaboration, capacity-building and partnership working are practices integral to EU transnational projects. Working in such a manner, is not the easiest road to take to progress your agenda, but when done well it can be hugely rewarding in terms of learning from others mistakes as well as successes. It can also result in your organisation saving money as a direct result of those lessons. For these reasons we hope this document will add some additional profile for these important projects and also encourage more organisations to ‘think transnational’. ESEC has gently been encouraging its members to do so for a number of years, though there are many organisations in Scotland who still frown upon any kind of work that requires international travel. Our desire is that organisations move on from associating international work with travel alone and really look behind at some of the work being carried out. We also need to look to those most active in the field, such as Aberdeen City Council, who since 2007 till the time of publication, have drawn down €12.3m in transnational EU funding support. We decided to frame this document around the EU’s strategic economic development priorities of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Whilst many projects contribute to all three growth priorities we have attempted to list the projects by its lead theme. What has struck me from this exercise is the heavy dominance of sustainable growth projects from the east of Scotland local authorities in terms of financial draw down. It is logical that we have looked to other regions to see how they have developed this agenda as we drive this agenda forward ourselves. How to achieve the EU’s 2020 targets for energy efficiency and renewables is on the minds of all regions. The popularity of this theme is also perhaps indicative that at the start of the programming period there were very few domestic funds orientated towards this agenda. This is also an excellent example where the policy agenda has actually been influenced by transnational project activities. This booklet highlights how local authorities in the East of Scotland are sharing best practice and gaining a wealth of knowledge from across the EU to make an active contribution to the Europe 2020 objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. We can demonstrate that they are doing so now by being involved in 164 projects working with 351 partners (125 NUTS 3 regions) across the EU.

  • Schools Inspected up to Week Ending 1 June 2018
    Schools inspected up to week ending 1 June 2018 This data relates to local authority and grant-maintained schools in Scotland. The data records the date of the last inspection visit for schools up to the week ending 1st June 2018. Where an inspection report has not yet been published this is indicated in the data. The data relates to general inspection activity only. This means the main inspection visit that a school receives. The list of schools is based on the Scottish Government's list of schools open as of September 2016: http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/School-Education/Datasets/contactdetails For those schools listed which do not have an inspection date, this is due to a number of factors, including changes to the school estate, local circumstances, or the provision being reported in another inspection unit (GME units or support units).

  • Bucksburn Academy School Newsletter March 2017
    Bucksburn Academy School Newsletter March 2017 Bucksburn Academy Win 2017 Schools Biodiversity Award We recently found out that we have won the North East Scotland Schools Biodiversity Award. We were nominated for the breadth of work we have done with our students in this area, such as the number of people in the school community who have gained John Muir awards, joint environmental projects in the local area and further afield with a number of partners and the international projects on promoting sustainability we have been involved in. Ms Shanley and some students will be attending the North East Scotland Biodiversity Partnership Conference to take part in the day and receive this award. Stavanger Visit In February a group of 16 students and 2 staff took part in a 4 day study visit to a partner school, St Olav’s in Stavanger, Norway. During a packed programme they were able to find out more about how Science is delivered at the school, approaches to enabling people in Norway to live a more sustainable lifestyle and to continue to share Scottish and Norwegian culture and lifestyles. This visit followed a similar visit earlier in the session where we welcomed the group from St Olav’s to Bucksburn Academy. P7 Transition Visit On 28 February we were delighted to welcome all the P7 students from our ASG Primary Schools for their first transition day. During a very busy day the students were involved in activities to support the development of skills they will need for successful learning at Bucksburn Academy in S1.

  • SPTC 2012 Annual Report
    2012 Convener’s Report – Jeanna Brady Reflections on SPTC’s 64th Year Change continues to be the watchword for Scottish education and for SPTC too! As Vice-Convener of SPTC, I have encountered significant change as I found myself stepping into the shoes of our Convener, Kate Cunningham, who began long-term sick leave in the summer of 2011. Kate stood down late in the year but I am pleased to report she has made a good recovery and everyone at SPTC wishes her well. The pace of change at SPTC has continued unabated over this last financial year. Our target is SPTC’s long term financial sustainability, while strengthening the organisation’s services to parents and carers across Scotland. Parents and carers see SPTC as both independent and knowledgeable, something this year’s survey of our members has confirmed to us (more of that later). Members also told us how much they value the advice and practical support we provide. Membership is the backbone of our organisation: as our only source of funding, membership fees are vitally important if we are to continue in this unique role. The new three-year membership model for local authorities, which includes support time from SPTC for parent groups, continues to grow in popularity, as does the range of information and training sessions our team is able to offer. This financial year we worked face-to-face with in excess of 450 parents and carers in local authority areas from Moray and Aberdeenshire in the north, to North Ayrshire and Scottish Borders in the south – and many points in between.
