Dozens of new Comenius and grass-root projects could be presented at the final plenary session of the 19th ESP-COMP@CT-ECOLE conference on Saturday, March 12, 2005. In the context of the conference also the new ESP Association was founded. The last plenum of the conference took place on board some miles away from Stockholm, on the cruise to Helsinki. More than 200 participants had performed challenging tasks in their working groups where current topics of ICT in education had been treated.

Beside the parallel sessions of the ESP conference itself there were workshops for Comenius 1 and Comenius 2.1 contacts, for non-native teachers of German, and for Open source.
The topic of the conference was “Learning Goes Mobile - a Collaborative Knowledge Building Conference on New Media, Learning and Schools”. The participants were able to conclude that both mobility and collaborative methods are needed to promote educational cooperation and teachers’ collaboration across borders.

Teachers engaged in using ICT look for more and more pragmatic ways to organise educational work. It seems that “hands on” activities and functional ways of presenting innovations are replacing academic lecturing or "corporation" speeches, as well as stereotypical power point presentations, considered fairly irrelevant by the younger generation. The composition of the participants was an interesting combination of the new net generation and veterans, and of newcomers and oldstayers as well.
