Call for proposals - EAC/13/11: European Policy Network on the Implementation of Key Competences in School Education

The overall aim of this call is to establish a Europe-wide network of relevant organisations in countries participating in the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP). The aim of the network is to develop policy advice for the implementation of the 2006 Recommendation on key competences for lifelong learning in schools. It should address the issues raised by the November 2009 Communication ‘Key Competences for a Changing World’ and stimulate high-level cooperation between Member States’ policymakers responsible for the essential areas of school development.

The network should therefore bring together those organisations, researchers and stakeholder groups whose area of interest and expertise is on school curriculum development, teacher education, assessment and evaluation, learning support and any other area that is seen as crucial for the development of a coherent policy for the promotion of key competences.

The network should examine and bring forward recommendations on what policies can help schools better ensure that all students develop the key competences as set out by the above mentioned Recommendation.

This call is open to ministries of education and other public bodies, such as those responsible for curricula, teacher education, assessment and evaluation, research centres and universities, foundations and associations with legal personality and a registered office in one of the countries taking part in the LLP.

The framework agreement will last from 2012 until 2014. The total budget is €500,000 for 2012. EU support will not exceed 75% of total eligible costs.

The maximum duration of projects will be 36 months.

The deadline for applications is 30 September 2011.
