TARGET GROUP
Employees and users of the Ljubljana City Library, and indirectly employees of other Slovenian libraries and the wider professional and lay public.
DESCRIPTION
The Ljubljana City Library has been awarded Erasmus+ Adult Education Accreditation under the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, Key Action 1, Learning Mobility of Individuals in Adult Education. The Erasmus accreditation confirms that the organisation has developed a plan to deliver high quality mobility activities as part of its wider organisational development efforts. Erasmus accreditation allows organisations easier access to Erasmus funding opportunities and more flexible funding for individual international exchange and cooperation activities.
The project organises working visits by our staff to libraries and training courses for our users abroad. A group of LCL users accompanied by our staff takes part in a workshop, a course or a cultural event or visits an exhibition or cultural institution abroad.
As part of our Erasmus+ activities, Ljubljana City Library also acts as a host organisation. We host internships, study exchanges, job shadowing (from a couple of hours to several months), group mobility for adult learners, and visits by invited experts. In preparing and implementing these programmes, we closely cooperate with other Slovenian libraries and relevant partners to provide meaningful and high-quality learning experiences.
