If you’re a European resident and you’re looking for internship possibilities
in Sweden you should definitely consider the programmes set up by the European
Commission. The E.U’s educational and training initiatives are collectively
called the Lifelong Learning Programme and there are two main programmes available:
the Erasmus and the Leonardo da Vinci.
Erasmus is the E.U’s flagship education and
training programme and takes its name form the famous renaissance Dutch humanist
and theologian. The aim of the programme is to allow students, teachers, trainers,
as well as others involved in higher education, to travel to other Eurpean centres
of learning and thereby nurture a European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The
long term goal is to create more innovation, growth and jobs within Europe.
In addition to offering young people excellent study experiences, Erasmus is
also intended to provide participants with exposure to different cultures.
The Leonardo da Vinci programme focuses on the
teaching and training of those involved in vocational education.
More information about the E.U’s training and exchange programmes can be accessed
