Lifelong Learning Programme
The European Commission adopted a new Lifelong Learning Programme for the
period 2007 – 2013 that replaced the former Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and e-learning
programmes which were in place until the end of 2006. The Lifelong Learning
Programme comprises four sectoral programmes, the transversal programme and the
Jean Monnet programme:

Transversal programmeFour major spheres of activity: education policy (Cedefop, Arion etc.),
language learning, ICT, dissemination of information.
Jean Monnet programmeThree major spheres of activity: Jean Monnet activities, European institutions, and
European associations.
The total budget for the Lifelong Learning Programme is 6,970 billion euro for the
period 2007–2013.
The objective of the Lifelong Learning Programme is to contribute through lifelong
learning to the development of the Community as an advanced knowledge-based
society, with sustainable economic development, more and better jobs and greater
social cohesion. It aims to foster interchange, cooperation and mobility between
education and training systems within the Community, so they become a world quality
reference.
The Education Exchanges Support Foundation administers the Lifelong
Learning Programme in Lithuania. The objectives of the Foundation are to gain
benefits from international cooperation, administer programmes and disseminate
results of activities.
The Leonardo da Vinci programme was set up to support people that participate
in vocational education and training and further vocational education by helping them
to acquire and use knowledge, skills and qualifications; and also to promote personal
professional development and increase possibilities of employment and participation in the
European labour market. The main objective of the programme is to unite institutions of
various European countries including local authorities, employers’ organisations and other
public organisations in preparing the policy of future vocational education and training.

Mobility projects of the Leonardo da Vinci programme
The mobility projects offer a possibility to visit 31 European countries participating
in the programme for the purpose of professional development and improvement of
professional knowledge and skills, as well as the possibility to participate in practical
traineeship in enterprises, become familiar with innovations and new technologies in
the sphere of vocational education and training, make new contacts and exchange
experience with colleagues.
The Leonardo da Vinci mobility projects are intended for three target groups:
1. IVT – mobility of trainees in initial vocational education and training (minimum
duration of visits is from 2 to 39 weeks);
2. PLM – mobility of people in the labour market (minimum duration of visits is from
2 to 26 weeks);
3. VETPRO – mobility of professionals in vocational education and training (minimum
duration of visits is from 1 to 6 weeks).
While assessing mobility project application of the Leonardo da Vinci programme in
2008, national priorities were given to project proposals aimed at:
• Integrationofsociallyisolatedgroupsintothelabourmarket;
• Improvementofbusinesseducation;
• Integrationof information and communication technologies (ICT) in vocational
education and training;
• Preparationforvocationalskillscompetition(Euroskills);
• Grantapplications;
• ApplicationsfrominstitutionsofAlytus,Utena,Telšiai,MarijampolėandTauragė

In 2008, the Education Exchanges Support Foundation received 105 applications
for Leonardo da Vinci programme mobility projects. 99 of the submitted applications
complied with the eligibility requirements.
The Education Exchanges Support Foundation, regarding the proposal of the
Leonardo da Vinci programme evaluation committee and the evaluation of independent
experts, selected 74 projects for financing.

active in the mobility projects competition for 2008. 35 projects submitted by
vocational education and training schools were financed. It is very important to realise
that compared to previous years the mobility projects competition attracted not only

The number of participants of mobility projects under the Leonardo da Vinci
programme, who go to other European countries to acquire new skills in a different
cultural environment, is constantly growing. It is important to note that this year the
number of applications for mobility of employees considerably exceeded the number
of applications received in the previous year. This proves that business enterprises are
also actively participating in mobility project competitions. Within the framework of
Leonardo da Vinci mobility projects financed in 2008, 1,067 participants are planning to
go abroad to enhance their qualifications. They will go together with 70 accompanying
persons.

Transfer of innovation projects of the Leonardo da Vinci programme
Transfer of innovation projects are multilateral projects with the aim to improve
training systems and focus on transfer of innovations in the vocational education
and training area, including linguistic, cultural and legal adaptation of innovative
products and processes created under different conditions for national needs.
The objective of the transfer of innovation project is to improve the quality and
attractiveness of the European vocational education and training systems by adapting
and integrating the innovative content or results from previous Leonardo da Vinci or
other innovative projects into public or private vocational education and training
systems and companies at national, local, regional or sectoral level.
In 2008, the Education Exchanges Support Foundation received 18 applications
under the Leonardo da Vinci transfer of innovation projects, i.e. seven applications
more than in 2007. This year, two applications did not comply with the eligibility
criteria and the remaining 16 were assessed by independent external experts.
The Education Exchanges Support Foundation, while taking into consideration
the proposal of the Leonardo da Vinci programme selection commission, as well as
the decision of the European Commission and an evaluation of independent experts
selected five projects for financing. Funds allocated to the financing of these projects
amount to 1,164,633 euro.
This year, 17 Lithuanian organisations participated in the competition. One of
them–the Lithuanian Labour Market Training Authority under the Ministry of Social
Security and Labour of the Republic of Lithuania–submitted two applications. Other
applicationsweresubmittedbyorganisationsfromVilnius,Kaunas,Šiauliai,Utenaand

Partnership projects of the Leonardo da Vinci programme
Partnership projects are small-scale projects which focus on cooperation among
institutions working in the field of vocational education and training and participating
in the Lifelong Learning Programme and seeking mutual benefits.
Results achieved during the Leonardo da Vinci partnership projects are later
developed and used in further activities as “products” created by the partnership.
The Leonardo da Vinci partnership projects fill the existing gap in activities under
the Leonardo da Vinci programmes (i.e. mobility projects and transfer of innovation
projects), as they enable wider-scale cooperation in the sphere of vocational education
and training (than that within the scope of mobility projects) without requiring a high
budget as is the case in transfer of innovation projects.
Partnerships can be formed while seeking to continue cooperation, based on
which, useful results are created during mobility projects; or alternatively, partnership
projects can be the first step towards the transfer of innovation projects.
The most important attention of vocational education and training partnership
projects under the Leonardo da Vinci programme is paid:
1. Improvement of quality and attractiveness of vocational education and training;
2. Development and implementation of common tools for vocational education
and training;
3. Strengthening of mutual learning;
4. Involvement of all interested parties.
In 2008, 76 applications under the Leonardo da Vinci partnership projects were
submitted, including 11 applications, where Lithuanian organisations wished to par-
ticipate as project coordinators, and 65 applications, where Lithuanian organi sations
wished to participate as partners. 72 of the applications complied with formal eligibi-
lity requirements and further participated in the competition.
The Education Exchange Support Foundation, while taking into consideration the
decision of the European Commission, as well as evaluations of independent experts
and the proposal of the Leonardo da Vinci programme selection commission, selected
16 projects for financing–three projects will be coordinated by Lithuanian organisations,
and Lithuanian organisations will participate as partners in 13 further projects.

In 2008, the grant envisaged for Leonardo da Vinci programme partnership projects
amounted to 220,000 euros. 197,000 euros were awarded to projects that received the
highest ratings among all countries participating in the Lifelong Learning Programme.
By the decision of the European Commission, if at least one partner is short of funds,
neither partners of the same country will be subsidised. Therefore, the total amount of
grant under the programme has decreased.
According to submitted partnership project applications, the requested grant
amounted to 923,000 euros. The total amount requested in applications for financing
the projects exceeded the awarded amount by about 79%.

Project description
The basis of this partnership project is vocational
education and training of shop assistants. All
participating schools are vocational schools training
students for the profession of shop assistant. After
theextensionoftheEuropeanUnion,asnew
members joined, the labour market in this area also
expanded. During LdV trainee placements, common
problems were noticed in all countries. Although
similar requirements for trainees’ placements are
raised, the curricula for the same profession are
different as they are based on national research and
demands.
During the discussions between different schools
from different countries we identified the need to
compare the curricula and trace common points and
requirements.
Products/results of the project
Anticipated results of the project: recommendations
for the improvement of practical training for both
schools and employers, which will be prepared on
the basis of surveys.

Project description
The objective of the project Quality in Vocational
Education and Training Systems (QUAVETS) is to bring
together a diverse and rich range of experience and
expertisefromsixcountries–Norway,Iceland,UK,
Spain, Portugal and Lithuania–and to address the
concept of quality of education and training (quality
indicators), in four study programmes: Construction,
Tourism, Social Care and Health, and Food and
Restaurant. The focus will be on: a) experience
and views of trainees regarding quality, b) quality
expectations of employers in this field of study, c)
teachers’ definitions of quality, d) and the views of
work place instructors regarding quality. The group
is expected to evaluate and reconsider quality
indicators within the four study sectors. The revision
of indicators will help us increase effectiveness,
transparency, recognition and mobility within
and across countries concerned with common
competences of skilled workers; it is also a means to
diminish or scale down the gap between providers
of education in work placement learning and school
based learning. This project will lead the way to
further development and implementation of quality
indicators in our four VET-systems.
Products/results of the
project
Results of the project:
• Definitions of qualification indices of the
curricula of four sectors;
• Questionnaires in six European languages on
the quality of curricula;
• Analysis of “good practice” in all participating
countries;
• Website of the project www.quavets.org
• Summary of research work and analysis;
• Handbook with examples of good experience.

Project description
Objectives of the partnership: project participants
must prepare information about qualification
improvement experiences, modern tendencies and
their relation to new and/or specific methods, and
tried and tested training tools and methods. These
questions will be discussed during the exchange
visits and will provide vocational education teachers
and managers with innovative tools, methods
and products; which will allow them to respond
adequately to growing and changing challenges.
Teachers’ competence is an essential attribute
for vocational education quality; therefore the
anticipated results are qualitative development
of the project’s participants and dispersion of the
project’s results creating an Online-Competence
platform accessible to other project partners as
well as interested vocational education teachers,
educators and practical training teachers.

Products/results of
the project
All partners of the project focus on improving
professional qualifications of teachers and practical
training supervisors in the context of lifelong
learning. The project will help develop concepts
and qualification enhancement modules, aimed
at improving the staff training process. Employees
(teachers, practical training supervisors, education
managers, consultants) of participating institutions
seek to start cooperation with business entities
in the same field, i.e. those concerned with
qualifications of employees. SAZ as the coordinating
institution will introduce the concept of a practical
module for designing the teaching process and at
the same time–the basis for vocational education
and training and enhancement of qualifications.
Institutions that participate in the project will also
present their qualification enhancement concepts
and share respective pedagogical experience. It is
planned to discuss these concepts and experiences
and implement them into the concept of the
enhancement of qualification of employees of
participating institutions in the context of lifelong
learning. All this will crystallise into a common
culture for improving skills and will serve as a
basis for the development and improvement of
qualifications.

Project description
This project is a follow-up project involving several training centres in the partner cities after a joint LdV pilot project in 2005 (Obinelli, institution responsible for the project XARXA Barcelona), which created mutual trust for the next step in building closer relationships through student exchanges (LdV trainee mobility application 2008) and development of a mutual concept for recognition of competences obtained during their work placements abroad.The partnership is an activity for teachers’ mobility, which is supposed to increase the number of mobility students, and includes a concept for mutual recognition. In order to judge and certify this project in a qualified manner–skills, knowledge and competences will have to be defined. This catalogue of elements must be agreed upon by the partnership members. For this reason trainers must get together regularly.
Products/results of the project
Preparation of CD containing:• list and description of skills, knowledge and
competences necessary for specialists of IT, electricity and electronics;
• description of how these skills should be evaluated in credits in order to implement the basics of ECVET;
• list of criteria for choosing enterprises for practical training.

Project description
The project “Coach in VET” aims to develop
guidelines for tool coaching in VET and make
them accessible to systems in partner countries.
Coaching in vocational education and training (VET)
is becoming increasingly important. It is a flexible,
yet specifically applicable tool, which arouses
interest and receives much appreciation. As a result,
it has replaced counselling for learners in VET to
a great extent. Furthermore, it has become a tool
for self-reflection of management boards in the
system of VET. It meets employees’ and members of
organisations’ common needs when it comes to the
question of how life and work should be organised.
Many teachers in VET are not yet prepared to live
up to the role of vocational education pedagogue.
Personnel in vocational education need to be
professionalised.
The demand for counselling is decreasing; coaching
has superseded offers of counselling for the
customer and is currently replacing offers of further
education (CE). Training related to, for example,
time management, communication, coping with
conflicts, and other soft skills; is no longer carried
out in terms of courses or workshops. Instead,
individual or group coaching is offered.
Products/results of the
project
A website of management-related information
with the slogan Coach in VET. It will be possible to
download the material published on this website
from the Internet or to record it on a CD. This will
help coaching specialists and trainers improve their
abilities and students will have the opportunity to
acquire professional skills faster.

Project description
The objective of this project is to enhance the
knowledge of vocational career consultants in
the area of counteracting discrimination at work,
including all possible kinds of discrimination
(direct and indirect): age, race, religion, sexual
discrimination etc. In the course of the project
a website will be developed, where all available
materials will be gathered in English and all
partners’ national languages. These materials
will be supplemented with examples of actual
“best and worst practices” developed by the
partnership. In the course of this mobility project,
career consultants will meet colleagues from other
partner countries and learn about the problems
of discrimination at work and the methods for
preventing discrimination in other countries.
Products/results of the project
A website and educative material (lectures, booklets,
advertisements etc.) on discrimination at work.

Project description
This project aims to prepare material and training
methods in order to train teachers/trainers to
use LMS (Learning Management Systems). By
harnessing the potential of (collaborative) LMS and
its accompanying tools, teachers/trainers will be
empowered to better deliver their courses; and
trained to better use ICT for their courses, as well
as their personal development. Teachers/trainers
involved in this project will also act as distributors
in order to disseminate the learned skills to their
colleagues and students. The concept of the project
(collaborative/LMS) involves the characteristic
of “distance learning”. This is of added value for
people with disabilities or with limited access to
the education system, as it offers the opportunity
to deliver courses from any convenient place with
internet access (for teachers/trainers), or to follow
courses (for students).
Products/results of the
project
Webpage of the project.
Forum of internet training system.
Creation of supplementary tools that enable using
LMS.
Description of the teaching system in languages of
all partners of the project.
