Lifelong Learning Programme

The European Commission adopted a new Lifelong Learning Programme for the

period 2007 – 2013 that replaced the former Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and e-learning

programmes which were in place until the end of 2006. The Lifelong Learning

Programme comprises four sectoral programmes, the transversal programme and the

Jean Monnet programme:

Transversal programmeFour major spheres of activity: education policy (Cedefop, Arion etc.),

language learning, ICT, dissemination of information.

Jean Monnet programmeThree major spheres of activity: Jean Monnet activities, European institutions, and

European associations.

The total budget for the Lifelong Learning Programme is 6,970 billion euro for the

period 2007–2013.

The objective of the Lifelong Learning Programme is to contribute through lifelong

learning to the development of the Community as an advanced knowledge-based

society, with sustainable economic development, more and better jobs and greater

social cohesion. It aims to foster interchange, cooperation and mobility between

education and training systems within the Community, so they become a world quality

reference.

The Education Exchanges Support Foundation administers the Lifelong

Learning Programme in Lithuania. The objectives of the Foundation are to gain

benefits from international cooperation, administer programmes and disseminate

results of activities.

The Leonardo da Vinci programme was set up to support people that participate

in vocational education and training and further vocational education by helping them

to acquire and use knowledge, skills and qualifications; and also to promote personal

professional development and increase possibilities of employment and participation in the

European labour market. The main objective of the programme is to unite institutions of

various European countries including local authorities, employers’ organisations and other

public organisations in preparing the policy of future vocational education and training.

Mobility projects of the Leonardo da Vinci programme

The mobility projects offer a possibility to visit 31 European countries participating

in the programme for the purpose of professional development and improvement of

professional knowledge and skills, as well as the possibility to participate in practical

traineeship in enterprises, become familiar with innovations and new technologies in

the sphere of vocational education and training, make new contacts and exchange

experience with colleagues.

The Leonardo da Vinci mobility projects are intended for three target groups:

1. IVT – mobility of trainees in initial vocational education and training (minimum

duration of visits is from 2 to 39 weeks);

2. PLM – mobility of people in the labour market (minimum duration of visits is from

2 to 26 weeks);

3. VETPRO – mobility of professionals in vocational education and training (minimum

duration of visits is from 1 to 6 weeks).

While assessing mobility project application of the Leonardo da Vinci programme in

2008, national priorities were given to project proposals aimed at:

• Integrationofsociallyisolatedgroupsintothelabourmarket;

• Improvementofbusinesseducation;

• Integrationof information and communication technologies (ICT) in vocational

education and training;

• Preparationforvocationalskillscompetition(Euroskills);

• Grantapplications;

In 2008, the Education Exchanges Support Foundation received 105 applications

for Leonardo da Vinci programme mobility projects. 99 of the submitted applications

complied with the eligibility requirements.

The Education Exchanges Support Foundation, regarding the proposal of the

Leonardo da Vinci programme evaluation committee and the evaluation of independent

The number of participants of mobility projects under the Leonardo da Vinci

programme, who go to other European countries to acquire new skills in a different

cultural environment, is constantly growing. It is important to note that this year the

number of applications for mobility of employees considerably exceeded the number

of applications received in the previous year. This proves that business enterprises are

also actively participating in mobility project competitions. Within the framework of

Leonardo da Vinci mobility projects financed in 2008, 1,067 participants are planning to

go abroad to enhance their qualifications. They will go together with 70 accompanying

persons.

Transfer of innovation projects of the Leonardo da Vinci programme

Transfer of innovation projects are multilateral projects with the aim to improve

training systems and focus on transfer of innovations in the vocational education

and training area, including linguistic, cultural and legal adaptation of innovative

products and processes created under different conditions for national needs.

The objective of the transfer of innovation project is to improve the quality and

attractiveness of the European vocational education and training systems by adapting

and integrating the innovative content or results from previous Leonardo da Vinci or

other innovative projects into public or private vocational education and training

systems and companies at national, local, regional or sectoral level.

In 2008, the Education Exchanges Support Foundation received 18 applications

under the Leonardo da Vinci transfer of innovation projects, i.e. seven applications

more than in 2007. This year, two applications did not comply with the eligibility

criteria and the remaining 16 were assessed by independent external experts.

The Education Exchanges Support Foundation, while taking into consideration

the proposal of the Leonardo da Vinci programme selection commission, as well as

the decision of the European Commission and an evaluation of independent experts

selected five projects for financing. Funds allocated to the financing of these projects

amount to 1,164,633 euro.

This year, 17 Lithuanian organisations participated in the competition. One of

them–the Lithuanian Labour Market Training Authority under the Ministry of Social

Security and Labour of the Republic of Lithuania–submitted two applications. Other

applicationsweresubmittedbyorganisationsfromVilnius,Kaunas,Šiauliai,Utenaand

Partnership projects of the Leonardo da Vinci programme

Partnership projects are small-scale projects which focus on cooperation among

institutions working in the field of vocational education and training and participating

in the Lifelong Learning Programme and seeking mutual benefits.

Results achieved during the Leonardo da Vinci partnership projects are later

developed and used in further activities as “products” created by the partnership.

The Leonardo da Vinci partnership projects fill the existing gap in activities under

the Leonardo da Vinci programmes (i.e. mobility projects and transfer of innovation

projects), as they enable wider-scale cooperation in the sphere of vocational education

and training (than that within the scope of mobility projects) without requiring a high

budget as is the case in transfer of innovation projects.

Partnerships can be formed while seeking to continue cooperation, based on

which, useful results are created during mobility projects; or alternatively, partnership

projects can be the first step towards the transfer of innovation projects.

The most important attention of vocational education and training partnership

projects under the Leonardo da Vinci programme is paid:

1. Improvement of quality and attractiveness of vocational education and training;

2. Development and implementation of common tools for vocational education

and training;

3. Strengthening of mutual learning;

4. Involvement of all interested parties.

In 2008, 76 applications under the Leonardo da Vinci partnership projects were

submitted, including 11 applications, where Lithuanian organisations wished to par-

ticipate as project coordinators, and 65 applications, where Lithuanian organi sations

wished to participate as partners. 72 of the applications complied with formal eligibi-

lity requirements and further participated in the competition.

The Education Exchange Support Foundation, while taking into consideration the

decision of the European Commission, as well as evaluations of independent experts

and the proposal of the Leonardo da Vinci programme selection commission, selected

16 projects for financing–three projects will be coordinated by Lithuanian organisations,

and Lithuanian organisations will participate as partners in 13 further projects.

In 2008, the grant envisaged for Leonardo da Vinci programme partnership projects

amounted to 220,000 euros. 197,000 euros were awarded to projects that received the

highest ratings among all countries participating in the Lifelong Learning Programme.

By the decision of the European Commission, if at least one partner is short of funds,

neither partners of the same country will be subsidised. Therefore, the total amount of

grant under the programme has decreased.

According to submitted partnership project applications, the requested grant

amounted to 923,000 euros. The total amount requested in applications for financing

the projects exceeded the awarded amount by about 79%.

The basis of this partnership project is vocational

education and training of shop assistants. All

participating schools are vocational schools training

students for the profession of shop assistant. After

theextensionoftheEuropeanUnion,asnew

members joined, the labour market in this area also

expanded. During LdV trainee placements, common

problems were noticed in all countries. Although

similar requirements for trainees’ placements are

raised, the curricula for the same profession are

different as they are based on national research and

demands.

During the discussions between different schools

from different countries we identified the need to

compare the curricula and trace common points and

requirements.

Products/results of the project

Anticipated results of the project: recommendations

for the improvement of practical training for both

schools and employers, which will be prepared on

Project description

The objective of the project Quality in Vocational

Education and Training Systems (QUAVETS) is to bring

together a diverse and rich range of experience and

expertisefromsixcountries–Norway,Iceland,UK,

Spain, Portugal and Lithuania–and to address the

concept of quality of education and training (quality

indicators), in four study programmes: Construction,

Tourism, Social Care and Health, and Food and

Restaurant. The focus will be on: a) experience

and views of trainees regarding quality, b) quality

expectations of employers in this field of study, c)

teachers’ definitions of quality, d) and the views of

work place instructors regarding quality. The group

is expected to evaluate and reconsider quality

indicators within the four study sectors. The revision

of indicators will help us increase effectiveness,

transparency, recognition and mobility within

and across countries concerned with common

competences of skilled workers; it is also a means to

diminish or scale down the gap between providers

of education in work placement learning and school

based learning. This project will lead the way to

further development and implementation of quality

indicators in our four VET-systems.

Products/results of the

project

Results of the project:

• Definitions of qualification indices of the

curricula of four sectors;

• Questionnaires in six European languages on

the quality of curricula;

• Analysis of “good practice” in all participating

countries;

• Website of the project www.quavets.org

• Summary of research work and analysis;

• Handbook with examples of good experience.

Objectives of the partnership: project participants

must prepare information about qualification

improvement experiences, modern tendencies and

their relation to new and/or specific methods, and

tried and tested training tools and methods. These

questions will be discussed during the exchange

visits and will provide vocational education teachers

and managers with innovative tools, methods

and products; which will allow them to respond

adequately to growing and changing challenges.

Teachers’ competence is an essential attribute

for vocational education quality; therefore the

anticipated results are qualitative development

of the project’s participants and dispersion of the

project’s results creating an Online-Competence

Products/results of

the project

All partners of the project focus on improving

professional qualifications of teachers and practical

training supervisors in the context of lifelong

learning. The project will help develop concepts

and qualification enhancement modules, aimed

at improving the staff training process. Employees

(teachers, practical training supervisors, education

managers, consultants) of participating institutions

seek to start cooperation with business entities

in the same field, i.e. those concerned with

qualifications of employees. SAZ as the coordinating

institution will introduce the concept of a practical

module for designing the teaching process and at

the same time–the basis for vocational education

and training and enhancement of qualifications.

Institutions that participate in the project will also

present their qualification enhancement concepts

and share respective pedagogical experience. It is

planned to discuss these concepts and experiences

and implement them into the concept of the

enhancement of qualification of employees of

participating institutions in the context of lifelong

learning. All this will crystallise into a common

culture for improving skills and will serve as a

basis for the development and improvement of

qualifications.

Project description

This project is a follow-up project involving several training centres in the partner cities after a joint LdV pilot project in 2005 (Obinelli, institution responsible for the project XARXA Barcelona), which created mutual trust for the next step in building closer relationships through student exchanges (LdV trainee mobility application 2008) and development of a mutual concept for recognition of competences obtained during their work placements abroad.The partnership is an activity for teachers’ mobility, which is supposed to increase the number of mobility students, and includes a concept for mutual recognition. In order to judge and certify this project in a qualified manner–skills, knowledge and competences will have to be defined. This catalogue of elements must be agreed upon by the partnership members. For this reason trainers must get together regularly.


Preparation of CD containing:• list and description of skills, knowledge and

competences necessary for specialists of IT, electricity and electronics;

• description of how these skills should be evaluated in credits in order to implement the basics of ECVET;

• list of criteria for choosing enterprises for practical training.

Project description

The project “Coach in VET” aims to develop

guidelines for tool coaching in VET and make

them accessible to systems in partner countries.

Coaching in vocational education and training (VET)

is becoming increasingly important. It is a flexible,

yet specifically applicable tool, which arouses

interest and receives much appreciation. As a result,

it has replaced counselling for learners in VET to

a great extent. Furthermore, it has become a tool

for self-reflection of management boards in the

system of VET. It meets employees’ and members of

organisations’ common needs when it comes to the

question of how life and work should be organised.

Many teachers in VET are not yet prepared to live

up to the role of vocational education pedagogue.

Personnel in vocational education need to be

professionalised.

The demand for counselling is decreasing; coaching

has superseded offers of counselling for the

customer and is currently replacing offers of further

education (CE). Training related to, for example,

time management, communication, coping with

conflicts, and other soft skills; is no longer carried

out in terms of courses or workshops. Instead,

individual or group coaching is offered.


project

A website of management-related information

with the slogan Coach in VET. It will be possible to

download the material published on this website

from the Internet or to record it on a CD. This will

help coaching specialists and trainers improve their

abilities and students will have the opportunity to

acquire professional skills faster.

The objective of this project is to enhance the

knowledge of vocational career consultants in

the area of counteracting discrimination at work,

including all possible kinds of discrimination

(direct and indirect): age, race, religion, sexual

discrimination etc. In the course of the project

a website will be developed, where all available

materials will be gathered in English and all

partners’ national languages. These materials

will be supplemented with examples of actual

“best and worst practices” developed by the

partnership. In the course of this mobility project,

career consultants will meet colleagues from other

partner countries and learn about the problems

of discrimination at work and the methods for

preventing discrimination in other countries.


A website and educative material (lectures, booklets,

advertisements etc.) on discrimination at work.

Project description

This project aims to prepare material and training

methods in order to train teachers/trainers to

use LMS (Learning Management Systems). By

harnessing the potential of (collaborative) LMS and

its accompanying tools, teachers/trainers will be

empowered to better deliver their courses; and

trained to better use ICT for their courses, as well

as their personal development. Teachers/trainers

involved in this project will also act as distributors

in order to disseminate the learned skills to their

colleagues and students. The concept of the project

(collaborative/LMS) involves the characteristic

of “distance learning”. This is of added value for

people with disabilities or with limited access to

the education system, as it offers the opportunity

to deliver courses from any convenient place with

internet access (for teachers/trainers), or to follow

courses (for students).
