10 Oct 2007
The Dutch National Agency for the Lifelong Learning Programme was launched on Tuesday, 2 October 2007.
The Lifelong Learning (LLL) Programme is an umbrella programme of the European Union to encourage cooperation between European education institutions and international mobility among students and school pupils. It covers the entire spectrum of learning from schools, to higher education, to vocational training, to adult education. The sectoral sub-programmes provide opportunities for practical training, study and teacher exchanges.
The National Agency in the Netherlands is a partnership between Nuffic, the European Platform for Dutch Education and the Centre for Innovation in Vocational, Adult and Continuing Education (CINOP).
The European Union fosters European mobility in education as part of its drive to make Europe the most innovative research area in the world.
