The article’s main topic is the research of primary school technical education in the Czech Republic, in the Federal Republic of Germany and in Slovakia. Modern society cannot do without technical development, information technologies and seeking new sources of energy while maintaining ecological balance. This trend requires essential changes in the system of education. Technical literacy must become an important part of education as early as on the elementary school level. Monitoring and analysis of various approaches to technical education in the countries listed above is one of the key outputs of an international project named World of Work (WOW), which has got the registration number 2015-1-SK01-KA201-008942.
The 1960s saw an extraordinary development of international cooperation within European ethnology. The reason were favourable international political circumstances, advanced research work of the progressive generation of ethnographers as well as institutional and paradigm establishment of the European comparative ethnology (Ethnologia Europaea), which was suggested mainly by Sigurd Erixon and his collaborators. Even the generation of exceptional personalities of Czechoslovak (or Czech and Slovak) ethnography participated in the work on large-scale projects; they also were members of supranational research teams and organizations. A plethora of internationally anchored research dealt with transport, grain cultivation and livestock rearing - i.e. themes relating to the agrarian ethnography, whereby it was the SIEF Commission or History and Development of European Agriculture that carried a lot of weight in the coordination of the above research in the late 1960s. The contribution analyses the background and work of the Commission, the results of international projects organised by it, and the influence of the large-scale research on the development and thematic targets of Czech ethnography in the 1960s through 1980s.
Aim. The paper presents feedback on the effects of a new approach to the teaching practice of teacher trainees introduced in Serbia. Verification of the new approach is connected with a mentor training conception which has been under preparation within the frame of Erasmus+ project 2020-1-SK01-KA201-07825 Mentor training addressed in mutual cooperation of higher education institutions from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, and the Republic of Serbia. Methods. Within the frame of the new approach, verification structured interviews were carried out with a research sample of ten mentor teachers-science teachers from primary and secondary schools. The teachers were asked about the teacher trainees’ knowledge and skills (competences) they use within the lessons taught by them during their teaching practice, ways to improve the mentoring process, as well as mentors’ competences and the ability to self-assess. Results. The researchers collected rather positive opinions of mentors about mentees’ knowledge and skills they come to schools with. At the same time, the mentors expressed high satisfaction with their own knowledge about their mentoring role and competences. Conclusion. The paper presents, on the one hand, a good example of synergy of the national school policy strategies, introducing new approaches to the teaching practice of teacher trainees in Serbia. On the other hand, the goals of an international project are presented, which are meant to improve the quality of mentor-teachers at schools in Serbia.
W artykule, opierając się na przykładzie projektów międzynarodowych BalticMuseums 2.0 i BalticMuseums 2.0 Plus, opisano, w jaki sposób dostępne technologie informatyczne mogą być wykorzystane do wspierania współpracy pomiędzy podmiotami działającymi w różnych kra-jach. W szczególności omówiono rozwiązania informatyczne wspomagające: zarządzanie projek-tem, gromadzenie wiedzy i jej wymianę pomiędzy uczestnikami projektu (platforma wiki), zarzą-dzanie wielojęzyczną treścią, zarządzanie wirtualnymi galeriami, udostępnianie informacji dla użytkowników urządzeń mobilnych oraz zarządzanie współdzielonymi zasobami multime-dialnymi. Omówione technologie informatyczne, z wyjątkiem systemu zarządzania wirtualnymi gale-riami, dostępne są bezpłatnie jako oprogramowanie o otwartym kodzie źródłowym, co oznacza, że zaproponowane tu rozwiązania mogą być zastosowane w innych projektach międzynarodowych, znacząco ułatwiając współpracę instytucji rozrzuconych geograficznie i oddzielonych granicami państwowymi.

The paper, using BalticMuseums 2.0 and BalticMuseums 2.0 Plus international projects as an example, describes how available information technologies can be used to foster cooperation between partners from different countries. In particular, it describes solutions aiding in: project management, knowledge gathering and exchange (via a wiki platform), managing content in mul-tiple languages, managing virtual galleries, making information accessible for mobile device users, and managing shared multimedia assets. The described information technologies, with the sole exception of the virtual gallery man-agement system, are freely available as open-source software, which means that the solutions proposed here may be applied in other international projects, making the cooperation of institu-tions from various countries considerably easier.
W roku 1964 utworzone zostało w neutralnej Austrii „Międzynarodowe Towarzystwo Lenaua“. Na konferencjach tego towarzystwa spotykali się naukowcy z licznych państw leżących po obu stronach ‚Żelaznej kurtyny‘. Praca nad historyczno-krytycznym wydaniem dzieł Lenaua doprowadziła do intensywnej współpracy germanistów z RFN, NRD, Austrii, Węgier i Polski. Artykuł jest relacją o trudach i sukcesach tego przekraczającego granice projektu.

In 1964, in neutral Austria, the „International Lenau Society“ was established. Scholars from many countries on both sides of the ‚Iron Curtain‘ met at the conferences of this society. Joint effort on the historical and critical publication of the works of Lenau led to intensive co-operation of Germanists from East and West Germany, Austria, Hungary and Poland. The article relates the difficulties and successes of that transborder project.

1964 wurde im neutralen Österreich die „Internationale Lenau-Gesellschaft“ gegründet. Bei ihren Tagungen trafen sich Wissenschaftler aus zahlreichen Ländern diesseits und jenseits des ‚Eisernen Vorhangs‘. Die Arbeit an der historisch-kritischen Lenau- Ausgabe führte zu einer intensiven Zusammenarbeit von Germanisten aus der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und der DDR, Österreich, Ungarn und Polen. Berichtet wird von den Mühen und den Erfolgen dieses Grenzen überschreitenden Projekts.
