What is a Grundtvig Assistanship?
Grundtvig is part of the European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) and aims to strengthen the European dimension in adult education. Grundtvig Assistantships are designed for staff involved in adult education to work in another participating country, to learn about different practices in the field with the aim of enhancing their professional development. Assistantships must last between 12 and 45 weeks.
The type of activities an Assistant might undertake includes:
- assisting in facilitating learning, or with some aspect of managing adult education;
- providing support for adults with special educational needs;
- providing information on the UK and assisting in the teaching of English;
- introducing or reinforcing the European dimension in the host organisation;
- initiating, developing and assisting in the implementation of projects.
