Comenius Multilateral Networks

Description

Comenius Multilateral Networks encourage the networking of educational establishments and organisations. They are designed to promote European co-operation and innovation in specific thematic areas of particular importance to school education in a European context. They therefore target priority thematic areas mentioned in the Call for Proposals.

Full description: Show Hide

Such networks will constitute:

  • A forum for joint reflection and co-operation in identifying and promoting innovation and best practice in the thematic area concerned; or
  • A platform to assist the persons and institutions involved in Comenius in strengthening their co-operation, and enabling them to maintain and consolidate their European co-operation beyond the period of EU support for their specific projects.

Within the priorities announced in the general call for proposals, the following activities may be supported:

  • Activities to promote educational innovation and best practice in the thematic area concerned, such as comparative analyses, case studies, formulating recommendations and organising working groups, seminars or conferences and other dissemination activities;
  • Activities to facilitate and enhance European co-operation, such as exchanging information, training of project co-ordinators, promoting new projects, disseminating project results and good practice.

As a minimum, each network will be expected to:

  • Establish a website and other appropriate tools to support information exchange and dissemination;
  • Produce an annual report on the state of innovation in its area of activity;
  • Provide the ‘players’ in Comenius with full information about the network’s events and activities;
  • Organise an annual meeting of Comenius projects working in the thematic area of the network. This meeting can be in the form of an open seminar or conference, combining several objectives of the network
