Comenius is part of the Lifelong Learning Programme

The Lifelong Learning Programme (or LLP) brings the European Commission’s various educational and training initiatives together under a single umbrella. When the seven year programme cycle finishes in 2013, the Lifelong Learning Programme will have provided nearly €7 billion of funding for activities at school, at college, at university, in the workplace and in the community.

• Each year the European Commission publishes a Call for Proposals for the Lifelong Learning Programme. The 2010 Call is available here. This document updates the 2008 Call with the strategic priorities for 2010.
• The LLP Guide is an invaluable reference tool that complements the annual Call for Proposals. The Guide provides practical information on the various stages of the application and selection process. The LLP Guide comes in three sections, Part 1: General Provisions, Part 2a: Sub-Programmes and Actions and Part 2b: Summary Fiches.

Both the Call for Proposals and the LLP Guide are reference tools for the whole of the Lifelong Learning Programme. It is a good idea to read the sections relating to the Comenius Programme, but it is not essential to read the documents in their entirety.
