The Chamilo Community in Peru participated today in the Congress for Educational Excellence in Mala, Cañete province, that took place from the 25th to the 28th of February 2010.

The opportunity was given to the community to present for the first time ever to a public of around 80 teachers the advantages and the importance of Chamilo for the education (Peruvian, in particular). Michela Mosquera and Yannick Warnier were the two ambassadors sent to the rural town of Mala where the even took place under a steam-hot sun.

It is a pleasure for us to inform you all that the Chamilo Community in Peru (formed by the same members as the previous Dokeos Community in Peru - CODOPERU) is starting to organize the CHAMILO USERS DAYS America 2010 - 2nd International Congress on e-learning with Chamilo the 7th, 8th and 9th of July 2010 in Lima, Peru (following the line and experience of our first congress DOKUDA - Dokeos Users Days - América 2009).

We would like to invite all interested people to give us some help (sponsoring, speeches, logistics, marketing, etc), first sending us an e-mail at info@chamilo.org with your proposal before the 30th of April 2010 to be included in our program.

Thank you for your generous contribution that will help invest in the growth and knowledge of the Chamilo community.

The Risk prevention at the workplace department of the Zaragoza´s City Council is in charge of the training of more than 5.000 workers in all the issues related to safety at the workplace: general safety procedures, ergonomics, occupational health, etc.

To better improve the grade of safety of their personnel and to facilitate the access to the training session in a more flexible environment, they decided to go e-learning. They have chosen Chamilo to commit their goals, because they were looking for an easy to use platform without renouncing to functionalities and the usual resources used in this type of training. There were many determining factors behind their decision, but one of their main concerns was to choose an open source solution.
