Cedefop is a background agency to the European Commission providing it with up-todate information on developments, experience and innovation in Vocational Education and Training, and forums for policy debate. Cedefop shares its expertise through electronic and hard-copy publications, conferences and working groups.
We are happy to inform you, that this time four projects supported by REF have been identified as ‘best practice’ by the Cedefop. This is the third year in a row that REF projects have been included in the catalogue as model programmes of best -practices within the EU.
Toby Linden, Director of the Roma Education Fund, said ‘This is wonderful recognition for the innovative work that our partners in Romania, Slovakia and Hungary have been doing to improve educational opportunities for Roma. In previous years, inclusion in the Cedefop catalogue has meant that policy makers and practitioners from across the EU have been able to visit these projects and spread the good news.’

The study visit program:
The study visit programme is an initiative of the European Commission’s Directorate– General for Education and Culture. Its objective is to s upport policy development and cooperation at European level in lifelong learning, notably in the context of the Lisbon process and the education and training agenda2020 as well as the Bologna and Copenhagen processes and their successors.
The European Commission covers all the costs of participating in a study visit.
Since 1 January 2008, Cedefop (European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training) coordinates, on behalf of the European Commission, the study visits for education and vocational training specialists and policy makers from 2008 to 2013.
The study visit is a short term visit , 3-5 days, for a small group of specialists and decision-makers from education and vocational training. They are stakeholders who want to examine a particular aspect of lifelong learning in another Member State and through their visit they meet education and training specialists and decision -makers and visit education and training institutions and centres in the host country. The groups normally consist of 10 to 15 participants. Study visits are organised locally or regionally and coordinated by the National Agencies. They provide a forum for discussion, exchange and learning on themes of common interest and on European and national priorities. By exchanging innovat ive ideas and practices, participants promote the quality and transparency of their education and training systems.
The programme is open to nationals or those working or living in any of the 27 EU Member States, EFTA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein, an d Norway) and candidate countries (Turkey, Croatia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia).
The profile of a participant corresponds mainly to one of the following categories : Directors of education and vocational training institutions, centres o r providers, educational and vocational training inspectors, head teachers, teacher trainers, researchers, representatives of organizations, trade unions, company training managers, etc.
