The European Commission is launching public consultations on 3 planned programmes, due to replace 3 existing programmes from the beginning of 2014:

• Education and training programme – consultation (more details) to replace current Lifelong Learning programme

• Youth programme – consultation (more details) to replace current Youth in Action programme

• International higher education programme – consultation (more details) to replace current Erasmus Mundus programme

Anyone can take part in the consultations – individuals, associations, organisations and stakeholders – simply by clicking on the links above.

If you are answering this consultation on behalf of an organisation, please click here.

In the consultation questionnaires, we ask for your views on:

• the development and design of the programmes and
• how they can contribute to the Europe 2020 strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth – and especially two of the strategy’s flagship initiatives: Youth on the move and An Agenda for new skills and jobs

The consultations will be open until 30 November 2010.
