What is Leonardo?

The Leonardo da Vinci programme links policy to practice in the field of vocational education and training (VET). Projects range from those

giving individuals the chance to improve their competences, knowledge and skills through a

period abroad, to Europe-wide co-operation between training organisations.

How does Leonardo mobility work?

Leonardo da Vinci focuses on vocational education and training, other than at tertiary level. It addresses both the learning and teaching needs in the sector, and is

therefore aimed at all parties involved, namely trainees in vocational education, teachers and trainers,

institutions and educational bodies, enterprises, associations, social partners and bodies relating to

either lifelong learning or the labour market.
