About the Transversal Programme
Transversal programme funding supports education and training organisations in the areas of policy, languages, ICT and dissemination. ECOTEC is responsible for a programme of Study Visits designed to share best practice in education across Europe
If you’re a learning professional involved in the design or delivery of education or vocational training, you could benefit from a Transversal Study Visit in another European country.
People from all areas of education and training can take part. This includes those working in Government, local authorities, schools, colleges, adult education organisations, trade unions, companies, sectoral organisations, the voluntary sector and non-governmental organisations.
Transversal is part of the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme. At ECOTEC we are the UK National Agency for the Transversal Study Visits programme. This means that we manage the Transversal Study Visits grants available to UK organisations and individuals.
About the Lifelong Learning Programme
The Lifelong Learning Programme is a European funding programme, which supports education and training across Europe. It is made up of several different programmes covering the whole spectrum of lifelong learning. At ECOTEC we are the UK National Agency for Transversal and another two of these programmes:
- The Grundtvig programme is a passport to partnerships and training opportunities for adult education organisations, teachers and learners. Adult educators can be involved in structured courses, conferences and even job shadowing. Organisations can be part of exciting partnerships and projects to share innovation and good practice in adult learning.
- The Leonardo programme supports the development of skills and training. It funds work placements for trainees, workers and staff, and supports European partnership projects to improve quality in training.
The British Council is the UK National Agency for the Comenius (schools) and Erasmus (higher education) programmes. Our joint website www.lifelonglearningprogramme.org.uk has information on all the LLP programmes.
