Inspiring a generation
Posted: September 12, 2012 Filed under: Lifelong Learning Programme | Tags: Erasmus+, Inclusion, Lifelong Learning Programme, llp, sport Leave a commentReportedly more than 4 million people visited the Olympic Park for the London 2012 games over the Summer. I was lucky enough to be one of those people and as I arrived at the Olympic Park what immediately struck me was the enormity of the whole event. From the sheer scale of the park, to being greeted by the excellent ‘games makers’, through to seeing proud Olympians holding aloft their medals, the dedication by all involved to make this ‘the greatest show on earth’ totally shone through.
With so many sports on offer, it was quite a challenge to decide which to see, but amongst the several events I saw was the very popular Goalball. This is a game which combines skill, judgement, concentration and excellent spatial awareness as athletes with varying degrees of visual impairment compete wearing eyeshades.
Looking to the future
Posted: September 7, 2012 Filed under: Grundtvig, Leonardo, Lifelong Learning Programme, Transversal | Tags: #erasmusforall, Call for Proposals, Erasmus+, Europe, grundtvig, leonardo, Lifelong Learning Programme, llpukecorys, transversal Leave a commentIt is a big welcome back to all of you who have been off for the Summer holidays, we look forward to tweeting with you and also seeing you at our upcoming events. If you are just getting back into the swing of things, here is some of what you missed during August:
- The 2013 Call for Proposals was released.
This is the last round of funding under the current Lifelong Learning Programme, the application forms and guidance will soon be available on our websites and we’ll keep you up to date with the latest via our websites, e-flashes, twitter and of course on our blog. - Erasmus for All, the next steps.
The Culture and Education Committee met for their first official exchange of views on the proposal and we looked at the next steps before the new funding programme starts in 2014. - Changes to the Grundtvig website
We’ve been working hard to make sure the journey through Grundtvig funding is as easy as possible, making changes to the website will help you through the application process whether you are an individual or an organisation.
What’s next?
It is a busy time for us with the start of our Information Days (there is still time to register for an event near you) and the release of our application forms. We are also nearing the end of our competition (there is still time to enter although time is running out!) and have also published the latest edition of edUKation.
What are the next steps for you? Are you attending one of our Information Days? Or are you still looking for partners for a project? Why not let us know your next steps and your questions in the comments and we’ll be happy to help.
