Project Summary:
The
Grundtvig programme focuses on the teaching and study needs of
learners taking adult education and ‘alternative’ education courses,
as well as the organisations delivering these services. It aims to
help develop the adult education sector, as well as enable more
people to undertake learning experiences, notably in other European
countries.
Launched in 2000, Grundtvig aims to provide adults with more ways
to improve their knowledge and skills, facilitate their personal
development and boost their employment prospects. It also helps to
tackle problems associated with Europe’s ageing population.
It covers not onlyteachers, trainers, staff and organisations
working in thesector, but also learners in adult education. These
include relevant associations, counselling organisations,
information services, policy-making bodies and others such as NGOs,
enterprises, voluntary groups and research centres.
The programme funds a range of activities, including particularly
those supporting adult learning staff to travel abroad for learning
experiences, through exchanges and various other Professional
experiences. Other larger scale initiatives involve, for instance,
networking and partnerships between organisations in different
countries.
