Addressing an audience of education stakeholders in the Marino Institute of Education, Dublin, today, Minister for Research and Innovation, Seán Sherlock T.D. launched the report "Making a Difference; A Study of the Impact of Learning Mobility under the Lifelong Learning Programme in Ireland 2007-2009".
The Lifelong Learning Programme 2007-2013 is the European Commission-funded Education and Training Programme, which is providing €6.9bn towards exchanges and activities in these areas. It supports learning opportunities from childhood to old age in every life situation and comprises several component programmes.
The report was commissioned by Léargas, the Exchange Bureau, which administers most of the Lifelong Learning Programme in Ireland, and drawn up by management consultant Gerard M. Doyle. Its recommendations are based on a detailed analysis of the operation of mobility projects under the Programme.
Léargas wished to establish a clear picture of the impact of the learning mobility actions within the core elements of the Lifelong Learning Programme for which it has responsibility, in the light of the stated objectives of the Programme.
