Grundtvig Learning Partnerships form a framework for practical co-operation activities between organisations working in adult education.
Compared with the Grundtvig Multilateral Projects, which are more product- or outcome-oriented, partnerships focus more on process, and are intended for smaller organisations, providing for smaller scale co-operation. Grundtvig Learning Partnerships may lead to larger-scale projects such as Grundtvig Multilateral Projects or Grundtvig Thematic Networks.
A Grundtvig Learning Partnership takes place over two years and during this time, learners and adult education staff from at least three participating countries work together on a project with a specific theme of common interest.
