Educational advisers and inspectors
If you work closely with schools in an advisory capacity, you should find information on Comenius useful, particularly if you are advising schools on how to introduce or enhance the European Dimension, or on how to address the school improvement agenda through European links.
Other staff working in school education
Opportunities are available to staff working in school education who are not qualified teachers. Some Comenius in-service training activities are available to non-teaching staff and support staff in schools, for example, those working with children of travellers and migrant workers, or with children with special educational needs. Opportunities are also available to counsellors, careers advisers, staff working with pupils at risk of social exclusion, and other categories of educational staff.
Teacher trainers and school education specialists
If you are involved in the delivery of teacher training, or you specialise in school education, you may be interested in developing new learning materials or methods for training teachers with other European partners as part of a Comenius multilateral project. If you have already had extensive experience of Comenius you may be interested in starting or joining a Comenius network.
Adult Educators
If you are involved in Adult Education there may be funding opportunities for you and your institution through the Grundtvig programme. In the UK the National Agency responsible for the Grundtvig programme is ECOTEC Research and Consulting Ltd. Find out about the Grundtvig programme.
