Graham has written a comment on my postings on the Wales-Wide-Web and now his comment is cirulating in the cyberspace. That is fine. However, I think Graham has had a slightly confused the discussion by mixing 'big picture' and 'big packages' with each other. As I see it, we need to have a big picture on what is happening with European policies, country-specific developments, innovation programmes, grassroot initiatives etc. The question is, what do we see (and what do we leave to the margins) when we create the big picture. In this context the European policies and cooperation programmes have been looking for 'big package' solutions or initiatives that could be incorporated into 'big packages'. This is linked to the idea that innovations will be created 'out there' and exported to he Member States and to the field of education, training and working life. For this reason I try to prepare the ground for a closer examination, how the future innovation strategies (in VET and work-related learning) can be built upon snall-scale initiatives, transitionall steps and knowledge sharing. However, we need to draw some conclusions of our earlier efforts and to see how far we have got with them. This is interesting.
