Call for Proposals EACEA/07/09

Support for European cooperation in Education and Training

Part A - Raising national awareness of lifelong learning strategies and of European cooperation in education and training

Part B - Support for transnational cooperation in the development and implementation of national and regional lifelong learning strategies

Deadline: 14 August 2009

Introduction

The development and implementation of coherent and comprehensive national lifelong learning strategies is a crucial issue within the Education & Training Open Method of Coordination, which is the framework for European cooperation supporting national reforms in education and training.

Member States committed themselves to putting in place coherent and comprehensive national lifelong learning strategies by 2006. The last joint progress report of the Council and of the Commission on the implementation of the Education & Training 2010 work programme adopted in February 2008 pointed out that, on the one hand, most countries have made progress in defining unified and overarching strategies. On the other hand, the joint report also stressed that implementation is still a great challenge for lifelong learning strategies in most countries.  Implementation needs to be carried out at the national and regional levels.

This Call for proposals is divided in two distinct parts as mentioned on top of this page.
