Peer Learning Activities

Exchanges of information on different policy options can help advance reforms in national education and training systems and, together with other mutual learning activities, form a key part of the Education and Training 2010 work programme.

The Peer Learning Activities (PLAs) are organised by the existing 8 Peer Learning Clusters or other working groups (both consisting of National delegates/experts and representatives of the European Commission) of Member States interested in specific topics. In addition, the Copenhagen process organises specific peer learning activities for vocational education and training and the Working Group on the Adult Learning Action Plan organises peer learning in the field of adult education.
