The Knowledge Network is a partner in a two-year European project called: "EUropean NETworking as a method for further training and exchange of ideas in the lifelong learning sector" "European NET as a method for further training and for exchanging ideas in the lifelong learning sector" [EU-NET]. Hilmar and Ingibjörg are the project managers on behalf of the Knowledge Network, and they travelled to Hungary for a project meeting at the end of October.
The overall objective of the EU-NET project is to support a European network of non-profit organisations and associations operating in the continuing education sector.
The partners aim to design and develop guidelines on opportunities in European cooperation projects for institutions and organisations operating in the continuing education sector. The final product will be a handbook with information on how to apply for cooperation projects and where opportunities can be found.
