European Programs

Since its beginning, LCEducational has been actively involved in European programs that promote innovation and provide opportunities for education and training in new methodologies and practices, as well as the exchange of knowledge and good practices.

There are also opportunities for young people, in order to develop their knowledge and skills.

Main concern is the promotion and development of the society of knowledge, through research and design of innovative education and training packages in cooperation with other organizations and academic institutions across Europe. Through these programs, Cypriot professionals, students, university students and other young people with or without fewer opportunities, as well as adults, have the opportunity to be trained, acquire experience and knowledge and offer volunteer or professional work abroad.

For the implementation of all these programs, LCEducational works directly or indirectly with the European Parliament and the European Commission, as well as the relevant institutions in Cyprus, the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Labor and Social Insurance and the Erasmus.
