Polish fact-finders visit Learning Light
Learning Light (LL), a non-profit centre of excellence in the use of
learning technologies in the workplace, has hosted a delegation from
Poland on a fact-finding mission to learn about the UK's multimedia and
information systems sector.
Learning Light (LL) and its associates, The MRS Consultancy, have
played host to a delegation from MultiKlaster, an EU-funded project
which aims to create a 'cluster of multimedia and information systems'
in Nowy Sqcz, Poland.
Kinga Pawlowska, president of the MultiKlaster board, and Pawlowska's
colleague Elwira Waszkiewicz spent several days with the
Yorkshire-based MRS Consultancy in order to learn and share experiences
of working with creative and digital businesses. While they were in
Yorkshire, the Polish delegation met representatives of the computer
games developer, Sumo Digital, as well as Renaissance South Yorkshire,
the Workshop, Creative Sheffield and LL.
Among those contributing to the talks that the Poles held while in the
UK were Tony Newson, formerly programme chief executive of the
Objective 1 Directorate in South Yorkshire; Richard Lukey, of Business
Link South Yorkshire and David Patterson, LL's head of partnerships who
is responsible for the LL business support activities in the e-learning
cluster. Patterson manages the LL 'VEN' of companies which work
together to win bids for large contracts jointly and also supports the
UK LearnOnline consortium of e-learning companies worldwide.
Mark Pittaway, LL's CEO, commented: "We were delighted to have this
opportunity to demonstrate some of the UK's capabilities and
achievements in the digital industries sector, especially in terms of
the application of learning technologies in the workplace."
