Tasks of WP 3:

-to develope national strategies

Motivation:

Alice in Wonderland: “My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that”.

Time schedule:

Duration: 16-21 months (6 months)

Starting: March 2015.

- regional specificity and needs in ADA countries

- no common framework - no common methodologies

- LL programs not harmonized neither among non- EU ADA countries nor among non- EU and EU ADA countries.

Reasons:

Deliverables:

D3.1 round table on regional guidelines (2015-05-31)

D3.2 regional guidelines developed (2015-06-30)

D3.3 strategies on LL (2015-09-30)

Development of national strategies within this project is of great importance, as well as starting point for making strategic decisions,

e.g. which target groups should the institution put a focus on in order to further stimulate participation in LL, thus strengthen its position on the market.

Risks:

-different evaluation systems and accreditation procedures among partners

- no general acceptable solution on common methodological framework

-low interest of authorities
