Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP)
•
•
•
•
Comenius for schools
Leonardo da Vinci for vocational education and training
Erasmus for higher education
Grundtvig for adult education
• JEAN MONNET
• Comenius
EU Programme for SCHOOLS
The Comenius programme focuses on the first phase of education, from pre-school and
primary to secondary schools. It is relevant for all members of the education
community: pupils, teachers, public authorities, parents’ associations, nongovernment organisations, teacher training institutes, universities and all other
educational staff.
Part of the Lifelong Learning Programme, Comenius seeks to develop knowledge and
understanding among young people and educational staff of the diversity of
European cultures, languages and values. It helps young people acquire the basic
life skills and competences necessary for their personal development, for future
employment and for active citizenship.
• Leonardo da Vinci
EU Programme for vocational education and training
The Leonardo da Vinci programme links policy to practice in the field of vocational
education and training (VET). Projects range from those giving individuals the chance to
improve their competences, knowledge and skills through a period abroad, to Europewide co-operation between training organisations. Leonardo da Vinci focuses on
vocational education and training, other than at tertiary level. It addresses both the
learning and teaching needs in the sector, and is therefore aimed at all parties involved,
namely trainees in vocational education, teachers and trainers, institutions and
educational bodies, enterprises, associations, social partners and bodies relating to
either lifelong learning or the labour market.
• ERASMUS
EU Programme for STUDENTS
The ERASMUS programme was launched in June 1987 and in 2007 celebrated its 20th
anniversary. It is arguably one of the best-known Community actions and
encourages student and teacher mobility through decentralised actions implemented
by National Agencies and promotes though centralised actions the transnational
cooperation among Higher Education Institutions across Europe managed by the
Executive Agency.
The Erasmus centralised actions under the Call 2010 are composed of three sub-actions,
which are Multilateral Projects, Networks and Accompanying Measures.
• Grundtvig
EU Program for ADULT EDUCATION
Launched in 2000 and now part of the overarching Lifelong Learning Programme,
Grundtvig aims to provide adults with ways to improve their knowledge and skills,
keeping them mentally fit and potentially more employable.
It not only covers learners in adult education, but also the teachers, trainers, education
staff and facilities that provide these services. These include relevant associations,
counselling organisations, information services, policy-making bodies and others
involved in lifelong learning and adult education at local, regional and national
levels, such as NGOs, enterprises, voluntary groups and research centres.
• JEAN MONNET
EU Program for European integration
The Jean Monnet programme aims at stimulating teaching, research and reflection in
the field of European integration studies at the level of higher education institutions
within and outside the European Community.
European integration studies are defined as the analysis of the origins and evolution of
the European Communities and the European Union in all its aspects. They cover
both the internal and external dimension of European integration, including the
European Union's role in the dialogue between peoples and cultures and the
European Union's role and perception in the world.
Launched in 1989, the programme is now present in 62 countries throughout the world
and around 740 universities offer Jean Monnet courses as part of their curricula.
Between 1990 and 2009, the Jean Monnet Action has helped to set up
approximately 3,500 projects in the field of European integration studies, including
141 Jean Monnet European Centres of Excellence, 775 Chairs and 2,007 permanent
courses and European modules.
