About Leonardo partnerships

A Leonardo da Vinci Partnership is a framework for small-scale cooperation activities between

organisations working in the field of vocational education and training ("VET") which will be cooperating on themes of mutual interest to the participating organisations. Projects can focus

more on the active participation of trainees, while others will concentrate on the cooperation

between teachers, trainers or VET-professionals. The cooperation may not only include VET schools or institutions but also enterprises, social partners or other VET stakeholders. They can cooperate at national, regional or local level, but also at sector level, such as within VET-fields or economic sectors.
