Comenius Multilateral Projects and Networks
Comenius Multilateral Projects
Comenius Multilateral Projects are undertaken by consortia working together to improve the initial or in-service training of teachers and other categories of personnel working in the school education sector to develop strategies or exchange experiences to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom. Each project is expected to give rise to an identifiable outcome - e.g. a new curriculum, training course, methodology, teaching strategy, teaching material - which meets the training needs of a defined group of educational staff, taking account of the realities of each participating country. The use of all possible methods, including information and communication technologies, for the production and dissemination of training materials to the widest possible audience is encouraged.
Monitoring and evaluation for enhancing the quality of work carried out by projects should be planned from the very start of each project as a continuous project activity. Dissemination of the good quality results, specific ‘dissemination’ events involving interested educational authorities or policy makers to raise awareness of the project’s activities and planned outputs should be always included. In addition participation in Comenius Networks events of the same thematic area is encouraged.
Within the priorities announced in the general call for proposals, the following activities may be supported :
- The adaptation, development, testing, implementation and dissemination of new curricula, training courses (or parts of courses) or materials for the initial or in-service training of teachers or other categories of school education staff
- The adaptation, development, testing, implementation and dissemination of new teaching methodologies and pedagogical strategies for use in the classroom and including the development of materials for use by pupils
- Providing a framework for the organisation of mobility activities for student teachers, including the provision of practical training periods and the recognition of these activities by the institutions concerned
