COMENIUS

The Comenius action focuses on the first phase of education (covering nursery, primary and secondary schooling including technical and vocational education). It extends to all in this education community teachers, education staff and pupils whilst endeavouring to also involve organisations outside school such as parents associations, NGOs, local authorities, the business sector and the social partners.

The objectives of Comenius are to enhance the quality and reinforce the European dimension of school education, in particular by encouraging transnational cooperation between schools and contributing to improved professional development of staff directly involved in the school education sector, and to promote the learning of languages and intercultural awareness.

Comenius Activities

Comenius is divided into three actions:

Comenius 1: school partnerships
Comenius 2: training of teachers and other school education staff
Comenius 3: development of the Networks
