presentation give at Sofia for “thematic monitoring” meeting about elearning.
Rob Peters gave a presentation about simulation games and the trias Wiki
used for the purpose of training civil servants in Europe.
Role simulation Games and Wiki’s require a non-authoritarian or non-hiarchical teaching and learning approach that is not
always alined with a countrie’s administrative culture.
The discussion about administrations was very much alive, since every person present felt
him or herself a end-user of administrive cultures

The consortium met in Budapest to conclude the discussion about the trainingplan and the training modules.
Two innovative approaches were presented by Zenc and The Haagse Hoogeschool:
1) The eGovernment Simulation: a training method to help civil servants to improve horizontal collaboration.
2) The eGovernment Wiki: a way to interconnect the knowledge build in the Trias project in a coherent and usefull way.
The simulation was recieved witha lot of questions given the difference in hiarchy and administrative cultures among governments in Europe. An extremely succesfull approach in The Netherlands that is seen as a major vehicle fr the introduction ofegovenment for hundreds of municipalities may be viewed as too progressive or too bottom-up in other countries.
The eGovernment Wiki was seen as a major break trough, both by the governments involved as well as
the scientists involved.The wiki will be the major platform for Trias.
Bert Mulder (Haagse Hoogeschol) , Rob Peters (UVA & Zenc) , Tom van Engers (UVA) and Arre Zuurmond (Zenc) will continue working on the concepts
while a lot of work is done by the Haagse Hogeschool.
Monica Palminari (Bologna) will try to add a topic map to the wiki.
