The Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP)

The Lifelong Learning Programme is the European framework programme for education and training. It consists of four sectoral programmes, which fund projects at different levels of education and training. The Grundtvig programme, supports actions in the field of adult education.

To support the implementation of the Lifelong Learning Programme in the EU countries, the Council and the European Parliament have defined eight key competences for lifelong learning.

On a regional level, there is a Nordic Network for adult learning (NVL) promoting lifelong learning by transmitting competence and experiences between the five Nordic countries.
