Project summary

Two main products were created as part of EU-Learning:

The handbook

A handbook was developed with information on all funding instruments of the new funding phase. This handbook is available to all interested parties and is a basic teaching document for the education sector as well as general support for institutions wishing to apply for EU funding.

The network

A European network has been established to discuss best practices and innovations in training partner organizations and to develop long-term European standardsfor training in EU fundraising and project management. Within this network, preparations were made for the new funding phase through a constant exchange of information and materials.

Through the exchange of knowledge within the framework of EU-Learning, on the one hand the training organizations expand their competences with regard to the preparation, development and implementation of innovative training at local, national and European level. On the other hand, the final beneficiaries, the learners, receive more innovative training at all levels. This further improves their skills and thus their opportunities on the education market.
