Gateway to Education Socrates Directorate-General for Education and Culture Socrates European Community action programme in the field of education (2000-06) Gateway to education European Commission Gateway to education Cooperation The second phase of Socrates, the European education programme started on 1 January 2000 and runs for seven years. It takes over from the programme's first phase, which lasted five years and achieved very successful results. The figures speak for themselves: 500 000 students undertook a period of study in another European university, 10 000 schools took part in European partnerships, and thousands of projects were developed to promote European languages. The second phase of Socrates will carry on along the same path, while introducing some new features. There will therefore be emphasis on two key ideas: the promotion of lifelong learning and the building of a Europe of knowledge. Opening up access to knowledge, irrespective of age or place, is important for a number of reasons. It makes it easier to get a job in a world in which it is necessary to adapt to increasingly relentless change. It is a way of obtaining recognised qualifications, social skills and personal fulfilment. Lastly, it is a way of discovering other cultures, broadening one's horizons and preparing to exercise active citizenship. The systems and practices in education vary enormously from one country to another. This is a feature of the Europe in which we live. In this context, European cooperation, whether through mobility, pilot projects, European networks or comparative studies, offers huge advantages. It provides a fertile ground for innovation, the quest for quality, and the implementation of new ideas. Surely we will be more creative if we all pull together! Socrates takes account of all types of learning — formal and informal — and all levels, from nursery school to university and adult education, which is becoming increasingly important. Socrates is relevant to all those involved in education: teachers, education staff, administrative and management staff, along with the pupils and students, all playing an increasingly active part in European cooperation projects. With Socrates, school can no longer remain confined within four walls. It is opening up to the various components of civil society which are eager to take up the challenges of education: civil servants and decision-makers, local and regional authorities, social partners, associations, the business sector, etc. Socrates comprises eight actions. The first three correspond to the three stages which constitute milestones of education throughout life: school, university and adult education. The other five are horizontal. All of these actions together have common priorities. The emphasis is on countering social exclusion and under-achievement at school by providing specific support for disadvantaged groups, and promoting equal opportunities for women and men. Special attention is paid to language learning, particularly the languages which are less widely used and taught. There is also emphasis on the importance of studying in a multicultural environment as one of the cornerstones of European citizenship. The new information and communication technologies (ICT) permeate the whole programme, as they have much to offer active teaching methods and contribute to innovation. Lastly, Socrates encourages broad dissemination of information, ideas and good practice, for example through the setting up of networks. European cooperation opens many doors to education. How wonderful it would be if everyone could take full advantage of this!

The European Union emphasises more and more the role of education as a real element of reducing the distances between the member states, while stimulating the economic, social and cultural development of the community states. At the European Unions’ policies, the universities are called to prepare the students for an independent life in a multi- cultural environment, to support the improvement of knowledge, skills and competences that are necessary for an efficient functioning in a pluralist and democratic society, to interact, negotiate and communicate with people from different groups in order to create a civil society functioning on moral principles and common values.

    Cover Erasmus.qxd 29.08.02 10:20 Seite 1 Ulrich Teichler (ed.) Ulrich Teichler (ed.) Ulrich Teichler ERASMUS in the SOCRATES Programme Findings of an Evaluation Study ERASMUS, the “flagship” among the educational programmes of the European Union, underwent substantial programmatic and structural changes when it became a sub-programme under the umbrella of the SOCRATES programme in the mid-1990s. The role of the centre of the univer- sity was strengthened at the expenses of the net- works of departments, and more emphasis was placed on curricular innovation, teaching staff mobility and on involvement of the non-mobile students. This study, being part of the SOCRATES 2000 Evaluation Study, aims to examine the changes occurred in ERASMUS in the late 1990s. It draws from available documents and statistics, and comprises surveys of students, graduates and academics as well as interviews with those involved in curricular innovation and “thematic net- ACA Papers on works”. The authors call for efforts to keep acade- Lemmens ERASMUS in the SOCRATES Programme ERASMUS in the SOCRATES International Cooperation in Education mics involved, to establish administrative proce- dures based on trust and to ensure a stronger role of curricular innovation.
