Met dank overgenomen van Directoraat-generaal Onderwijs, jeugd, sport en cultuur (EAC) i, gepubliceerd op dinsdag 9 augustus 2011.

The Commission has just published the general call for proposals for 2012 for participation in the Lifelong Learning Programme. Through the programme the EU enables people of all ages to gain experience through studies, training or learning abroad and supports co-operation between schools, universities and enterprises in different European countries.

Besides Comenius, Erasmus, Leonardo da Vinci, Grundtvig and Jean Monnet, the programme offers support to activities for policy co-operation, in the fields of languages, information and communication technologies and dissemination and exploitation of results.

Funding under the 2012 call will follow five priorities:

  • Develop strategies for lifelong learning and mobility
  • Encourage cooperation between the worlds of education, training and work
  • Support initial and continuous training of teachers, trainers and education and training institutions' managers
  • Promote the acquisition of key competences throughout the education and training system
  • Promote social inclusion and gender equality in education and training, including the integration of migrants and Roma

These overarching priorities reflect main issues at stake of the political agenda for education and training in the European Union.

All information needed to apply for participation in the Lifelong Learning Programme, in particular the priorities of the Call for Proposals 2012 and the Guide to the programme, are available online at: http://ec.europa.eu/education/llp/doc848_en.htm

The deadlines for submission of applications, which vary according to the part of the programme, can be found in the Official Journal of the European Union (2011/C233/06).
