Under the call for proposal “Support for European cooperation in Education and Training Part A - Raising national awareness of lifelong learning strategies and of European cooperation in education and training” (LLP – EACEA/07/09), we are really pleased to inform you that the European Observatoire of Sport and Employment (EOSE) has developed a successful application entitled "Actions towards the Lifelong Learning Strategy for Sport - LLLSPORT".
The European project is going to start on 01/03/2010 and it aims are not only to further foster awareness-raising on the outcomes of the
EQF-Sport project, which is regarded as crucial on national, regional and local level, but also to contribute to better coherence and coordination in the establishment and implementation of comprehensive National Lifelong Learning Strategies within the sector of Sport and Active Leisure.
The Lifelong Learning Strategy for Sport and Active Leisure has been developed at the EU level in order to:
- promote a transparent and flexible education and training system with clear learning and career pathways
- ensure the development of a competent workforce with the right skills and competences in line with the expectation of the employers, to facilitate the movement between education and employment
- develop mobility, transparency and mutual trust of qualifications, raise standards and facilitate the growth of business opportunities.
LLLSPORT project shall then enable the sector to understand better its current set up and status quo, to monitor its strengths and weaknesses, and will help national and local stakeholders to better align with the EQF.
