ICT tools for the implementation and management of European projects

EU tools and platforms:

• Europass – is a set of five documents that enables skills and qualifications to be presented in a clear and understandable way across Europe. Its aim is to help citizens to present their skills and qualifications in a way that makes it possible to find a course or a job effectively, to help employers understand the skills and qualifications of their employees and to help education and training institutions to develop and communicate the content of education programmes.

• EPALE (Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe) – EPALE aims to create a European community of adult learning professionals. The platform gives them the opportunity to make contacts, exchange experiences, plan joint activities and publish and comment on content. The platform also provides access to information about events important for adult education staff and trends in the sector, as well as to the latest documents, materials and research results. The use of EPALE is free of charge. The EPALE platform is financed by the Erasmus+ programme. It is part of the European Union’s strategy to promote learning opportunities for all adults.

• Youthpass – “is a tool to document and recognise learning outcomes from youth work and solidarity activities. It is available for projects funded by Erasmus+: Youth in Action and European Solidarity Corps Programmes. The Youthpass certificate helps to document the development of competences, as well as to confirm participation and describe the respective project. An essential part of the initiative is attention to the planning of the learning process and reflection upon the participants’ personal learning outcomes. As a strategy, it aims at fostering the recognition of non-formal learning and youth work.”

• Mobility tool – This is a web application available at https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/eac/mobility. It is intended for Erasmus+ programme beneficiaries. Thanks to it, we can easily manage data concerning implemented projects and submit final reports. Contracts for the implementation of projects oblige Erasmus+ beneficiaries to supplement data in Mobility Tool+ on a regular/monthly basis.
