Comenius targets schools and further education establishments. This former Socrates action is now part of the Lifelong Learning Programme and is made up of three broad types of activity, all of which provide opportunities for schools and colleges to introduce or strengthen the European dimension in their curriculum.

Comenius School Partnerships enable pupils, students and staff from across Europe to work together on joint projects.

Comenius In-service Training provides European in-service training for staff involved in school education and opportunities for trainee teachers. It also provides the opportunity to develop teaching resources.

Comenius Assistants are intending and trainee teachers who are placed in schools and colleges across Europe. They can help to enhance the European and cultural dimension across the curriculum, as well as offer classes in their native language. Placements may be from three to ten months.
