Lifelong Learning Programme
The new Life Long Learning Programme supports
learning opportunities from childhood to old age in every single life
situation. It has a budget of € 7000 millions for the period 2007-2013,
and is the successor to the current Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and
eLearning programmes.
Grants and subsidies will be awarded to projects and activities that
foster interchange, promote bilateral and multilateral partnerships,
foster trans-national mobility of individuals and promote quality in
education and training systems throughout Europe.
The programme is built on four pillars,
or sub-programmes:
- The
Comenius programme for pupils, teachers, schools
and related institutions/ organisations (pre-school and school
education up to the level of the end of upper secondary education)
- The Erasmus programme
for students, scholars, professors, universities and related
institutions/organisations (higher education, including
trans-national student placements in enterprise)
- The
Leonardo da Vinci programme for apprentices,
workers, employees and related institutions/organisations
(vocational education and training).
- The
Grundtvig programme for adults, teachers and
related institutions/organisations active in the field of adult
education.
These four pillars are joined by a
transversal programme, which pursues 4 key activities:
- policy cooperation and innovation,
- language learning,
- innovative content, services, pedagogies and practices in the
field of information and communication technologies (ICT)
- dissemination and exploitation of results (under the Lifelong
Learning Programme and previous related programmes), and exchange of
good practice.
The whole structure is complemented by the new
Jean Monnet programme,
which supports institutions and activities promoting European
integration.
