  1. EU Peer Learning activities and Clusters and ETF experience with the Mutual Learning Project 2009-2011 (and beyond) Simona Rinaldi Sarajevo, 14 December 2010

  2. Peer learning activities at EU level Purpose: Exchange of information on different policy options can help advance reforms in national education and training systems and form a key part of European co-operation in education and training.

  8. After two years of implementation, according to the four phases of community building • Forming • Storming • Norming • Performing we are somewhere between phases 3 & 4. An evaluation is ongoing …
