Carried out by the six founding members of EUCIS-LLL, the former name of the LLLPlatform, this publication is the result of a conference organised with the support of the European Commission and of the European Economic and Social Committee of May 2004. The research examined 60 examples of good practice, identified twenty-five ‘best practice examples’ and analysed their achievements.

The LLLPlatform runs an annual review of the Erasmus+ programme implementation and shares its results with policy-makers to enhance the application process and the content of the programme. This survey is conducted by the Platform to evaluate how beneficiaries (like you) have experienced the past round of applications of the Erasmus+ programme: what do you think of Erasmus+? Are you satisfied with its new features? What problems did you encounter? What suggestions for improvement would you make? This publication explores the results of the Survey 2017! Spoiler: there is room for improvement…

This founding brochure was published by the future members of EUCIS in the frame of the European Commission’s Memorandum on Lifelong Learning of 2001. Based on the identification of good practices, the partners of this project propose key recommendations to public authorities in order to implement coherent LLL strategies. This brochure is only available in French.

The Education and Training Monitor 2020 provides an overview of the performance of education systems in all EU Member States in achieving 6 different benchmarks; while a useful tool, it misses the perspective of the educators and learners themselves. Because of this, the Lifelong Learning Platform conducted a shadow report involving stakeholders from Austria, Ireland, Portugal, Romania and Slovenia, with the goal to produce a “reality-check” on the progress towards the ET2020 targets and a snapshot of the situation on the ground through the eyes of learning providers and civil society. It, therefore, seeks to complement or ‘shadow’ the quantitative analysis of the annual Education and Training Monitor by offering more qualitative insights, hence why we use the term ‘shadow report’.
