of the Leonardo da Vinci
The European Commission has approved the new Lifelong Learning Porgamme for the period 2007–2013,

Transversal programme
programme
4 key activities: policy (Cedefop, Arion, etc.), languages,
ICT and dissemination of information.
Jean Monnet programme
3 key activities: Jean Monnet activities, European institutions and European associations.
The total budget for the Lifelong Learning Programme is €6.97 billion for the period 2007–2013.
The aim of the Lifelong Learning programme is to contribute through lifelong learning to the development
of the European Community as an advanced knowledge society, with sustainable economic development,
increased employment, better job opportunities, and greater social cohesion, by ensuring good environ-
mental protection for future generations. Firstly, it aims to foster interaction, cooperation and mobility
between education and training systems within the European Community, so that it can become a world
quality reference.
The Education Exchange Support Foundation administers the Lifelong Learning Programme in Lithuania. The
aim of the Education Exchange Support Foundation is to help utilise international cooperation possibilities,
administer programmes, and disseminate results of their activities.
The Leonardo da Vinci programme is designed to support those involved in vocational training and further
vocational training activities while acquiring and applying knowledge, and obtaining skills and qualifica-
tions; to encourage professional improvement, and increase employment and participation possibilities
in the European labour market. The aim of the programme is to unite institutions from different European
countries including vocational training institutions of all levels, local governing institutions, employers’
organisations and other public organisations, while developing a policy on future vocational preparation.

4. Mobility projects
of the Leonardo da Vinci programme
Mobility projects provide an opportunity to visit some of the 31 European countries participating in the
Lifelong Learning Programme in order to raise qualifications, improve professional knowledge and skills,
take part in work placements in enterprises, learn about vocational preparation innovations and new tech-
nologies, and establish new collaborative relations and exchange experiences with colleagues.
The total duration of mobility projects is from 6 to 24 months. In 2007, € 1,501,000 of funding from
the European Commission was granted for the support of the mobility projects of the leonardo da vinci
programme.
From 2007 three target groups have been set in the mobility projects of the leonardo da vinci
programme
1. Mobility of trainees in initial vocational training (the duration of the placement
is from 2 to 39 weeks).
2. Mobility of people on the labour market (the duration of the placement
is from 2 to 26 weeks).
3. Mobility of professionals in vocational education and training (the duration of the placement is
from 1 to 6 weeks).

While assessing mobility project applications of the leonardo da vinci programme in 2007, consider-
able attention was paid to the quality of mobility:
– integration of placements into the training process;
– the content and duration of the placement adapted to the study programme;
– evaluation of skills acquired as part of the training programme, or recognition of qualification
improvement including issue of the Europass mobility document;
– the quality of language training and cultural preparation.
In 2007, 93 applications were submitted under the bid for mobility projects of the leonardo da vinci
programme. The total amount of funding requested was € 1,995,124. Taking into consideration the assess-
ment results of the quality of the applications, € 1,289,586 was allocated.
