New Integrated Programme - Comenius

• Will be re-organised into 4 main actions for sake
  of clarity
• 1) Mobility
• 2) Partnerships
• 3) Projects
• 4) Networks

• The mixing of centralised project grants and
  decentralised mobility in former Comenius 2 did
  not work. The new structure tackles this issue by
  separating out mobility clearly. It also
  envisages the development of new types of
  mobility such as longer-term mobility for
  individual pupils in upper-secondary education.
