Lifelong Learning Programme

Oasis Academy Lord’s Hill is also involved in the ‘Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP)’, a European funding programme which supports education and training across Europe. We are currently participating in the following projects

Comenius – This is a project based partnership where students and staff from the Academy work alongside and visit eleven other European Countries to: • Develop knowledge and understanding among young people and education staff of the diversity of European cultures and languages • Help young people to acquire basic life skills and competencies for their personal development, for future employment and for active European citizenship. The eleven other countries involved in this project are Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Romania, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Germany, Italy and the UK.

Grundtvig – This project involves the Academy in an exciting partnership with education establishments in Lithuania and Romania, sharing innovation and good practice. Through visiting and working with the partner organisations, the project is exploring and gaining knowledge about: • How to help provide a focus for young people who neither study nor go out to work when they leave school • The problems people face when they migrate within the European Union • How to help people who retire or loose jobs to remain active and involved in their communities.
