The objective of the overall DANTE4PA project is to strengthen administrative capacities on the local & regional level in the Danube Region by implementing a sustainable transnational capacity building approach on a Danube Region (DR) wide basis. The aim is to install a three level transnational network between Vocational Education & Training Systems, Civil Services and Governments connecting the following types of institutions and stakeholders:─ vocational education & training providers─ local/regional administrations (training beneficiaries)─ systemic multipliers on programme/ministerial level (training supporters)This multi-level cooperative structure facilitates:─ professional exchange of experience, best practice & task based learning approaches, addressing concrete public administration issues─ direct capacity building by mutual development─ implementation of vocational trainings addressing common challenges for local & regional public administrations Expected Results: The main deliverable of the project is a fully detailled concept which enables the partners to apply for INTERREG VB Danube or other identified sources, which are appropriate for the roll-out of the capacity building concept. Without the support from START such an application would lack of completeness, verification (proof of concept) and likely also sufficient partners.
