Learning Partnership
Within the priorities set in the general call for proposals, the following
information can be
used

Objectives and description of the action
The Grundtvig Learning Partnership is a framework for small-scale co-operation
activities between organisations working in the field of adult education in the
broadest
sense. Compared to the Grundtvig multilateral co-operation projects, which are
more
‘product’ – or outcome-oriented, the partnerships focus more on process, and aim
to
broaden the participation of smaller organisations that want to include European
cooperation in their education activities.

In a Grundtvig Learning Partnership trainers and learners from at least three
participating countries work together on one or more topics of common interest
to the
co-operating organisations. This exchange of experiences, practices and methods
contributes to an increased awareness of the varied European cultural, social
and
economic scene, and to a better understanding of areas of common interest.

The participating organisations are encouraged to monitor and evaluate their
transnational work and to interconnect it with the initiatives of their local
community.
They are also encouraged to cooperate with organisations and authorities at the
national
level, to ensure a sound basis for their ideas and activities and open up
channels for
dissemination. This will maximise the value of the transnational exchange,
promote the
circulation of good practice, and thus ensure the wider impact of results.

The following activities may be supported:

•
Partner meetings and seminars between all institutions involved in the
Partnership
•
Exchanges of staff and adult learners involved in project activities
•
Exchanges of experience and good practice, by all appropriate means and in
particular using information and communication technology (e.g. websites,
e-mail,
video-conferencing)
•
Making of technical objects, drawings and arts objects related to the project
•
Fieldwork, project research, etc.
•
Preparation of performances (e.g. theatre plays, musicals, etc.)
•
Linguistic preparation for persons involved in the partnership to ensure they
possess
the necessary competence in the working language(s) of the partnership
•
Co-operation with other projects in related subject areas (including Grundtvig
Networks) sharing experience with other institutions in the region, etc.,
including
mobility to network events, if relevant
•
Self-evaluation activities
•
Organisation of exhibitions, production and dissemination of information
material or
documentation on the co-operation activities
•
Dissemination of project experience and outcomes
When preparing partnership proposals, applicants should be aware of the
priorities
defined in the Lifelong Learning general Call for Proposals.

‘Associated partners’ such as local or regional authorities may also participate
in these
activities.

In Grundtvig Learning Partnerships focusing on learner participation, learners
should be
actively involved in the project and their mobility should be encouraged as much
as
possible.

Learning Partnerships focusing on management of adult education and/or teaching
methods provide teachers, trainers and adult education managers with the
opportunity to
exchange experience and information, to develop together methods and approaches


which meet their needs, and to test and put into practice new organisational and
pedagogical approaches.

In both cases, projects can involve co-operation with bodies from the local
community,
such as local authorities, social services, associations and enterprises.

Who can benefit
All kinds of institutions and organisations, whether working in formal,
non-formal or
informal adult education.
Who can apply Each institution/organisation involved in the Partnership
