Distance learning presents tremendous opportunities for education providers and learners alike. These opportunities exist at all levels of education and across fields. They are equally available in formal and non-formal education. Recently, opportunities in distance learning have further expanded with the development of new technologies for online education, which allow classes with direct communication between the lecturer and the students, as well as among the students themselves.

Webinars offer a huge potential benefit both for the formal and non-formal education providers, as well as for the learners in general. They can expand access to educational services, enrich the service offer, and drastically cut costs for providers and learners alike.

The project “Promoting Webinar-Based Education in Southeast Europe” is focused on promote the use of educational webinars in Southeast Europe.

During the 3rd transnational meeting that took place in Bulgaria in the city of Sofia from 5th until 6th of December 2016, the partners had discussed about the project progress. Until the March each partner will organize 12 webinars to promote the use of educational webinars across sectors, helping to enhance both the supply and the demand for webinar-based e-learning in the region.
