News archive - Croatia to Join EU Lifelong Learning Programme
Croatia will participate fully in the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme and Youth in Action Programme from January 2011. A 'memorandum of understanding' was signed at the recent meeting of European education Ministers in Bruges, Belgium.
The Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) includes Erasmus, which provides grants to higher education students to study or train abroad, Leonardo da Vinci, which is aimed at vocational education mobility, Comenius for school exchanges and Grundtvig for adult education. The funding is targeted at individual students and learners, as well as teachers, trainers and others involved in education and training.
Switzerland will also join the two EU programmes in January, bringing the total number of partner countries to 33 (27 Member States, Norway, Iceland, Turkey and Liechtenstein currently participate).
