The Comenius Programme focuses on all levels of school education, from pre-school and primary to secondary schools. It is relevant for everyone involved in school education: mainly pupils and teachers but also local authorities, representatives of parents? associations, non-government organisations, teacher training institutes and universities.
Part of the EU?s Lifelong Learning Programme, the Comenius actions aim to help young people and educational staff better understand the range of European cultures, languages and values. They also help young people acquire the basic life skills and competences necessary for personal development, future employment and active citizenship.
The programme addresses issues strongly related to current discussions and developments in school policy: motivation for learning and ?learning-to-learn? skills, key competences, digital educational content and inclusive education.
