3 - Focus on Lessons learned during LLP and Improvements needed in
the future programme

Future EU programmes on Education and Training -
Lessons Learned and Improvements Needed
Carlos Afonso – IP Portalegre, Portugal
What have we learned for a fact?
• What the country preferences are
• There is a preference for certain destinations
Future EU programmes on Education and Training -
Lessons Learned and Improvements Needed
Carlos Afonso – IP Portalegre, Portugal
What have we learned from experience?
• Grant amounts are short
• There are problems in the recognition of study periods
abroad
• Teaching staff mobility is visible, non-teaching staff
mobility not so
• SMP is difficult owing to problems in finding partners
Future EU programmes on Education and Training -
Lessons Learned and Improvements Needed
Carlos Afonso – IP Portalegre, Portugal
What questions do we have?
What is the reason for the destination preferences?
• Attraction potential of institutions, in terms of place (country)? Course
offers? Course offers in English? Institution’s reputation?
• A country’s number of inhabitants/students in higher education?
• Economic situation of students?
• Home institution’s policy?
How can we modify IN and OUT unbalance?
Who should benefit from the mobility activities in the future programme?
How can mobility be enhanced?
Future EU programmes on Education and Training -
Lessons Learned and Improvements Needed
Carlos Afonso – IP Portalegre, Portugal
What could be improved?
• Recognition should be required before the start of the
mobility period
• Europass awarding should be made easier
• Partners database for SMP
• Structured training events for non-teaching staff

And the winners are... Country participation in LLP
centralized actions, 2007-2009
Carlos Afonso – IP Portalegre, Portugal
Coordinators’ choice of partners
…and small countries choose themselves and big
countries for partners …

What have we learned for a fact?
• Big countries choose other big countries for partners
• Small countries choose themselves and big countries
for partners
• Five countries alone get more than half of the
allocated funds
• Applicants use the maximum amount allowed for
each project type/sectorial programme

The application process is complicated and time-consuming
What have we learned from experience?
Future EU programmes on Education and Training -
Lessons Learned and Improvements Needed
Carlos Afonso – IP Portalegre, Portugal
What questions do we have?
Should the future programme put more emphasis on cooperation
between education/training organisations and the world of work
(enterprises, chambers of commerce, associations, trade unions etc.), of
culture and civil society?
What type of actions would you suggest to support this cooperation?
What should be the main purpose of cooperation projects?
- To prepare mobility actions between sending and receiving
organisations?
- To enable peer-learning activities between similar organisations (for
instance schools) on their own education and training priorities?
- To develop joint educational methods or projects (other than
mobility) such as joint pedagogical tools, joint curricula?
- To foster innovative approaches linked to specific European
priorities?

Carlos Afonso – IP Portalegre, Portugal
What could be improved?
• Project funding should be based on the number of partners in each
project, rather than on project
• Management should be made at the national level
• Participating countries should receive a minimum share of the budget
according to some criteria (share) and manage it nationally
• Application forms should be friendly and ‘proportionate’
