On 13th of December
EUCIS-LLL Stakeholders were meeting with
Isabelle Albertone, Head of sector, DG EAC B1 - Coordination of the Lifelong Learning Programme. In her presentation Mrs Albertone presented the European Commission proposal on the “
Erasmus for All” programme. The goal of this programme is to make the proposal simple and understandable.
The programme focus on three actions; learning mobility of individuals, co-operation for innovation and good practices and support for policy reform.
In the discussion with Mrs Albertone the EUCIS-LLL Stakeholders expressed their delight with the proposed budget increase and the bureaucratic simplifications; however also some concerns was signaled. The Stakeholders were concerned that the “
Erasmus for All” will focus too much on higher education and employability, and thereby not address the needs for non-formal and informal education, adult learning and active citizenship. The EUCIS-LLL Stakeholders decided to write a joint political message to the European Commission underlining their support to the budget allocation and expressing their concerns. This message will be followed by a common proposal from the Stakeholder to the European Commission in January. For further information go to
