Are you an adult education organization or an organization offering training for adult education professionals? Have you ever thought of setting up an international course for adult educators? Do you know the opportunities of the Grundtvig programme and the Grundtvig IST (In-service training) action in this respect? Maybe you are already organizing Grundtvig courses but you don’t feel comfortable with all the rules and you have questions?

Please feel welcome to join the GINCO webinar on Wednesday 9 May. In this online seminar Renilde Reynders (Flemish National Agency) and Guy Tilkin (GINCO coordinator) will explain rules, tips and tricks about the Grundtvig IST action. This information is helpful to all those who are organizing Grundtvig courses or wish to set up such a course, or to those who wish to apply for a Grundtvig project in which a course is envisaged as one of the outcomes.

During this webinar we will cover the following items:

• The Grundtvig In-Service Training action: professional development for adult educators
