A chara,

Study visits provide education, vocational education and training
decision-makers and specialists with an opportunity to spend up to one
week in another European country, learning about practices and
approaches in education. The visits provide a forum for discussion,
exchange and learning on themes of common interest and on European and
national priorities. By exchanging innovative ideas and practices,
participants promote the quality and transparency of their education
and training systems. Study Visits are also an invaluable networking
opportunity and a chance to meet potential partners for transnational
collaborative projects. Please visit www.leargas.ie/studyvisits for
