Quality framework for Learning Regions
Start date: Oct 1, 2009,

Through the past vast years the Learning Region has become a widely adopted concept in European education policies. However during the years the concept has taken different notions and has been reflected in a variety of network figurations. Due to the different departures and pathways each of them has developed domain specific knowledge, in the area of social capital building, regarding good governance and institution building, stakeholder collaboration, public-private partnerships and transversal cooperations. The basic intention of project is to capitalize on this diversity by bringing together actors from the respective countries in order to learn from each other and jointly elaborate a common quality framework for the development and management of cooperative learning arrangements among educational providers, SMEs and public agencies.Findings from recent evaluation showed that a major obstacle towards a broader diffusion of the learning regions concept might be seen in the fact that there is still a lack of common quality instruments, which would allow for trustful and sustainable cooperations among educational actors. Following the priority of the call the project will address this problem and improve the quality in adult education by reflecting good practice to be found in Learning regions in the light of the Common Quality Assurance Framework (CQAF). More specifically the project will capitalize on good practice found in the Learning regions, and further develop a common set of quality methods and instruments to ensure the development, assurance and improvement of quality of learning networks in compliance with the Common Quality Assurance Framework. From the project results the partners will derive a handbook, best practice guide and training module for managers and stakeholders of learning regions, which shall allow for the effective planning, implementation, evaluation and review of cooperations among educational providers within Learning regions.
