Welcome to the New Skills Network Project Website!
THE NEW SKILLS NETWORK is coordinated by the Icelandic National Agency for EU´s Lifelong Learning Programme. There are 14 partner countries: AT, BG, BE, DK, EE, FI, HU, IS, LT, PO, NL, NO, SE, SK
THE NEW SKILLS NETWORK focuses on different actions within the Lifelong Learning Programme (centralised and decentralised projects).
THE MAIN AIMS OF THE NETWORK ARE:
- help ensure that the LLP programme supports Member States adequately in skills upgrading and skills matching through the mobilisation of existing Community policies and funds
- facilitate development of more projects aimed at developing processes, methods and tools aimed at helping Europe closing the current skills gap and facilitating the upgrade of skills
- impact new policy developments and setting of long-term strategic priorities at Community and Member State levels related to the theme
HOW DO WE DO IT? Collection of LLP-projects: All partners proposed a total of 300 projects which were filtered to 142 potentially relevant projects for judgement of experts in review of sectors- and project relevance. Projects are judged in terms of multiplier potential: transferability, accessibillity and potential impact. Results: 20-25 projects will be selected as examples of good or best practice.
THE NEW SKILLS NETWORK project is funded by the European Commission, DG Education and Culture.
