Abstract: <p>The PICSE Communication Plan provides the foundations on which the project defines and implements activities, supporting the goals and priorities of the project. This ensures effective engagement and interaction with the target communities leading to effective impact as the project evolves over time.</p> <p>To this end, the Plan aims to be sufficiently flexible so as to ensure focused activities can be coordinated as event participation and other new opportunities arise.</p> <p>This document explains the activities that will be carried out and the tools that will be implemented to achieve each of the above mentioned objectives. It also identifies major target audiences and outlines the consortium’s extensive collective networks. Finally, it sets out measures that will be used to coordinate and monitor activities, including indicators to gauge impact.</p> <p>A review of the progress achieved in implementing the Communication Plan will be made at mid-term of the project (month 9) as part of Milestone 5.</p> <p>At the end of the project the overview of the results coming from the outreach activities will be described in the Final Dissemination and Exploitation Report (month 18). Dissemination and communication activities will be coordinated by WP1 and performed in all the WPs with the support of all the partners.</p>

Abstract: <p>This paper begins with the operating definition of “mental retardation” (MR) – now known as “intellectual disability” (ID) – and goes on to delve into the historical development of the term, especially the passing of Rosa’s Law (Public Law PL111-256) that has become one big milestone in the field of intellectual disabilities in the American history of special/inclusive education. The authors also discussed about the assumptions underlying the current definition of ID, including the prevalence of ID, its classification and diagnosis, in Singapore. In addition, there is a brief coverage on educology, i.e., wealth of knowledge about education and its process, with the main focus on teaching and learning (T&L) processes for students with ID before the authors went on to introduce the three main educological frameworks of intervention for students with ID involving the T&L processes: the therapist/teacher-centered, the client/learner-centered, and a mix or integration between the first and second educological frameworks of T&L processes. Finally, in their concluding remark, the authors suggested the need for more educological research to be done on T&L processes in order to design better intervention programs for students with ID and recommended heilpedagogy, which means “learning by assisted teaching”, as the appropriate approach. </p>

Abstract: The anti-war novel ''Im Westen nichts Neues'' (''All Quiet on the Western Front'') by Erich Maria Remarque (first published in 1928) and the movie directed by Lewis Milestone (USA 1930) are internationally acclaimed representations of World War I’s Western Front. Both novel and film greatly influenced the way that World War I has been commemorated internationally.
