Biblio.For.Meda - Identification of a training and organisational model aimed at supporting the valorisation of librarians as facilitators for lifelong learning: Difference between revisions

The Biblio.for.mEDA Project was funded under the European Commission’s Leonardo da Vinci programme. The project was coordinated by IAL Nazionale, Italy and was carried out in collaboration with partners from Cyprus, Italy, Hungary, Romania and Latvia.

European Union strategies have highlighted the need for education and training activities to promote improvement in the knowledge, qualifications and skills necessary for the building of the knowledge society. Public libraries, as important community focal points, are increasingly recognised as key agents in the lifelong learning agenda. This project compared and analysed best practice in the library systems of the participating countries to develop an organisational and training model with the aim of promoting the librarian’s role in the facilitation of lifelong learning.
