The Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) is built on four pillars , or sub-programmes, together with Erasmus these include:
The Comenius programme for pupils, teachers, schools and related institutions/ organisations (pre-school and school education up to the level of the end of upper secondary education)
The Leonardo da Vinci programme for apprentices, workers, employees and related institutions/organisations (vocational education and training).
The Grundtvig programme for adults, teachers and related institutions/organisations active in the field of adult education.
These four pillars are joined by a Transversal Programme
The whole structure is complemented by the new Jean Monnet programme, which supports institutions and activities promoting European integration.
The aim of the programme is to contribute through lifelong learning to the development of the European Community as an advanced knowledge society, with sustainable economic development, more and better jobs and greater social cohesion. It aims to foster interaction, cooperation and mobility between education and training systems within the Community, so that they become a world quality reference.
The British Council manages the Erasmus and Comenius programmes and Ecorys (formerly Ecotec) manages the Leonardo, Grundtvig and Transversal programmes. We have a shared Lifelong Learning website that contains more information on all these programmes.
