GRUNDTVIG: adult education and other educational pathways. This action is aimed at enhancing the European dimension of lifelong learning. It supports a wide range of activities designed to promote innovation and the improved availability, accessibility and quality of educational provision for adults, by means of European co-operation.
The Grundtvig action addresses a great variety of educational providers, but the final beneficiaries are adults who, at whatever stage of their lives, wish to learn in order to: increase their capacity to play a full and active role in society and develop their intercultural awareness; improve their employability by aquiring or updating their general skills; enhance their capacity to access or re-enter formal education schemes.
This learning can be accomplished within the framework of formal or non-formal or by means of autonomous learning.
