When do we consider our mainstreaming successful? Where do we want to be in March

2007?• VENet has been presented and shown to opinion leaders in our TCA countries

• VENet model is finalized for TCA countries (incl. adaptation after national pilot phase

• Final event is not only the “end” of our TCA VENet but also the start of something new

• If we may use an existing structure and have resources for a person responsible for VENet after March 2007 (be it within a Regional Government, a Social Partner, somewhere within the GD…)

• VENet is entered into a EU data base (as best practice…)• Interest in model from country outside TCA partnership

Mainstreaming


How can we reach our goals?• Dissemination: everybody promotes the VENet model

in different regions of her/his country • All partners promote VENet model in national networks • We all use our (national) contacts to “infiltrate” the EU

institutions and international organisations• Have a good and informative website• Attract attention and reach our target group with our

final event

Mainstreaming


What can (should) each DP contribute?• Build national networks, contacts

• Inform other DPs, social institutions etc. about VENet• Check Equal Thematic Group• Participate in national activities, events, congresses, conferences..• Check with A3 (public relations) of your DP for support and co-operation

(national press, conferences etc.)• Get into contact with national representatives of European

organisations• Document what you have done, whom you contacted, what the

outcomes were, where and how many newsletters etc. you distributed… (distribution list)

Mainstreaming


What do you need for that from the TCA Secretary?

conferences, meetings?

Mainstreaming


How can we secure sustainability?

• To position the German and Austrian adaptation of the “VENet” Model in the respective country and thus still have a structure to use

• The Chamber of Crafts in Poland will survive VENet and maybe still function as a contact for interested parties and maybe also support systems lasts

• Can our Website be a “subpage” of one of our partner’s website after March 2007?
