Study visits programme

The Study visits programme is an EU programme for decision-makers and specialists in education and vocational training. It is part of the EU’s lifelong learning programme 2007-13 (LLP) (Decision 1720/2006/EC, 5 November 2006). A study visit is a short stay of three to five days in a host country. A group of 10 to 15 education and vocational training specialists and decision-makers come together to explore a theme of common interest. The programme is open to nationals or those working or living in any of the 27 EU Member States, EFTA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland) and candidate countries (the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey and Croatia). The study visits programme is for those responsible for developing education and vocational training policies at local, regional or national levels. It welcomes, among others directors of education and vocational training establishments, guidance centres and validation and accreditation centres; teacher trainers, education and training inspectors and representatives of employers associations and trade unions. [more]
