Design, facilitation and follow-up on virtual stakeholder consultations on inclusion in Erasmus+
The Lithuanian Education Exchanges Support Foundation in preparation to implement the Erasmus+ programme under the new Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027 and fulfil the horizontal priority of inclusion enshrined therein, commissioned expert consultations in the Secondary Education, Higher Education, Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Adult Education sectors on challenges to inclusion. PIL's Elma Paulauskaite conducted virtual consultations with representatives of each level of education concerned, including educators and school administrations; public sector organisations; NGO representatives; education and inclusion experts and participants in exchanges themselves. After conducting follow-up to validate recommendations co-created in the events, she synthesized and presented the findings, supported by Ieva Giedraityte, in a high-level virtual event counting around 100 stakeholders.
