I was invited to Stockholm  November 21th, 2002 to the Europan Schoolnet´s eLearning Awards Ceremony and the Eminent conference. It was because my project NKN 2002 - Building digital portfolios in on-line distance education was one of the nineteen project that had been selected from more than 700 entries.
