of the diary). The articles for the diary and the corresponding teacher's
guide will have to be written by the contractor on the basis of
guidelines from the Commission. The master edition of the diary and the
guide should be written by the contractor preferably in English (in order
to avoid chain translations) and approved by the Commission. They should
then be translated into all other EU languages and adapted carefully to
the national context/legislation by national partners.
Since the demand largely exceeds the offer, the contractor shall
endeavour to make his best efforts to elicit public authorities' interest
in the acquisition of additional copies of the diary. The contractor may
be asked to provide evidence of his contacts with public authorities (at
national, regional and local level). No private advertising is allowed.
Such additional copies may include pages tailored to the needs of the
body which has made the request. The content of the tailor-made pages
shall be submitted to the Commission for approval. Additional copies may
feature, in addition to the EU logo, the logo of the body which has made
the request on the cover.
In order to accomplish the above-mentioned tasks, the contractor will
have to:
- set up a network of national partners in all Member States (preferably
linked to ministries responsible for education/consumer issues) who will
undertake to customise the different versions of the diary;
- send a leaflet to all schools figuring on the national partners' lists
to announce the next edition of the Diary,
- establish an on-line network and database of the schools/institutions
in all countries who undertake to participate in the project,
- establish an on-line ordering system for the diaries,
- create the editorial content and graphics of the master edition
(minimum 120 pages on consumer issues and other topics of interest to
young people) on the basis of personal research and information as well
as reference material available publicly on the Europaserver. The themes
and the texts, which should be written preferably in English, have to be
approved by the Commission,
- coordinate the translation and adaptation of the national versions,
- print all diaries and teacher's guides (27 editions: 2 for Belgium and
2 for Finland),
- distribute the corresponding quantities directly to the participating
schools/teachers,
- negotiate with national, regional and local authorities to seek
additional matching funding to increase the number of diaries,
- organise a teacher survey in order to adjust the contents of the diary
for further issues,
- design a realistic timetable for all operations. The diaries should
reach the schools before the summer holidays.
II.4) Scheduled start of award procedure: May 2005.
