Awareness raising initiatives
The Agency for Vocational Education and Training and Adult Education is organising a Lifelong Learning Week. The goal of the event is raising awareness on the importance of learning and education. It is an effort to motivate citizens to engage in different forms of learning and realize the existence of non-formal and informal forms of learning. The Lifelong learning week is not focused only on youth group but it does encompass that group. The event features lectures, workshops, panels, open days and similar. The event was first organised in 2002, and since 2008 it has become a yearly event.
In 2014, the National Foundation for Civil Society Development launched a financial support pilot programme which ensures institutional support for stabilisation and/or development of youth-led and for-youth associations.
Eurodesk Network and the Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes holds yearly Time to move campaign (kampanja Time tomove) which promotes mobility and non-formal learning.
